GateHosue products are intended for use in environments where monitoring, controlling, and accounting for network usage is important. They allow you to quickly and effectively view and change the status of your network, without needing to disrupt any users.

For example, a GateHouse product could show you that a section of your workplace is consuming a large amount of internet bandwidth. GateHouse can help you determine why this is happening through its reporting mechanisms, and allows you to take immediate action through its bandwidth limiting or port-blocking features, allowing you to conserve bandwidth.

GateHouse has also been proven successful in internet access lounges, where it has been set up to allow people to access the internet through an easy-to-use interface, and charge them depending on either how long they are online, or by how much they download, whichever is greater.
The flexibility of GateHouse also allows seperate pricing structures to be applied to other terminals, such as staff machines or in-store servers.

The power and flexibility of GateHouse, as well as its easy to use interface, makes it an excellent network management system, usable in all networking and business environments.
