The addition of Sputnik is a response to growing demand from Wi-Fi service providers and software developers for such “carrier-class” features as scalable user authentication, centralized Wi-Fi management, and flexible control over security and quality of service (QoS). </p> <p>DD-WRT-compatible routers, available worldwide, include popular models from ASUS, Buffalo Technology, Linksys, Motorola, and Siemens. Sputnik software provides central management for a network of DD-WRT-powered routers, adding a suite of subscriber management options to create a powerful access-controlled network. Wi-Fi service providers can use Sputnik software to set and adjust options for access control, user authentication, and equipment settings over the Internet using a web browser.</p> <p> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20081219231727/http://www.sputnik.com/blog/?p=31#more-31">Read more…</a> </p> </div>  </div><br clear="all">  </div>  </div> </td>   </tr>  </table> </div>   <link rel="alternate" title="Sputnik News & Information" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20081219231727/http://www.sputnik.com/blog/?feed=rss2" type="application/rss+xml"/> <table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"> <tr> <td class="sidebar">  </td><td> </td> <td colspan="9"><img src="/web/20081219231727im_/http://www.sputnik.com/images/footer-SputnikMakes.gif" width="520" height="21" border="0" vspace="6"></td> </tr> <tr id="footer-bar"> <td class="footerBar" style="padding: 0 0 0 0"> <img src="/web/20081219231727im_/http://www.sputnik.com/images/pix-t.gif" width="150" height="1" alt="" border="0"> </td> <td nowrap class="footerBar"><img src="/web/20081219231727im_/http://www.sputnik.com/images/pix-t.gif" alt="" border="0" width="5" height="1"></td> <td nowrap class="footerBar" style="padding-left: 0px"><a href="/web/20081219231727/http://www.sputnik.com/aboutus/contact.html">Contact</a></td> <td class="navbar-bar"> | </td> <td nowrap class="footerBar"><a href="/web/20081219231727/http://www.sputnik.com/blog/index.php">Blog</a>   <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20081219231727/http://www.sputnik.com/blog/?feed=rss2"><img border="0" width="11" height="11" src="/web/20081219231727im_/http://www.sputnik.com/images/feed-icon-11x11.gif"></a></td> <td class="navbar-bar"> | </td> <td nowrap class="footerBar"><a href="/web/20081219231727/http://www.sputnik.com/sitestuff/sitemap.html">Site Map</a></td> <td class="navbar-bar"> | </td> <td nowrap class="footerBar"><a href="/web/20081219231727/http://www.sputnik.com/sitestuff/privacy.html">Privacy</a></td> <td class="navbar-bar"> | </td> <td nowrap class="footerBar"><a href="/web/20081219231727/http://www.sputnik.com/sitestuff/legal.html">Legal</a></td> <td class="footerBar" width="100%"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom"> <p class="mousetype">© 2002 -- 2008 Sputnik, Inc.
