<p class="n_text">
</p><p><strong>Alfanet sp. z o.o.</strong> is a Wroclaw-based Polish company, operating since 1996 as an ISP, as well as provider of solutions based on <strong>Open-Source Software</strong>
and Linux operating system. We offer to our customers such services as
Web hosting, domain registration and maintenance, design of Web
applications and Web pages, network security and wireless Internet
access.</p>
<p align="justify">Alfanet also designs and sells specialized APPro
software for Access Points based on <br></p><p align="justify"> *******<br></p><p align="justify">RTL8186 and Atheros chipsets. This
software increases functionality and value of Access Points. APs with
the new firmware can replace more expensive Access Points as well as
other network devices (bandwidth managers, firewalls, watchdogs). This
can bring significant savings related not only to hardware purchases,
but also the time needed to work with this extra hardware. Our software
also increases network security and its performance. Additionally APPro
makes it possible to customize ISP's offer to current demands, which
translates to better customer satisfaction.</p>
