If you offer internet access to your customers, guests, or business associates, it is important you consider the implications. An unmanaged connection exposes your organisation to legal risk, network abuse, and potential security breaches.
Our managed hotspot solutions give you full control over who has access to your network and what they can do when using it.
Access Control
Define exactly who can connect and when. Each user is issued credentials with a configurable expiry date; accounts are removed automatically when they expire, with no manual intervention needed.
Bandwidth Management
Prevent individual users from abusing your connection with per-user bandwidth limits and site restrictions. Keep your primary connection fast and reliable for your business.
Automatic Expiry
User accounts expire on the date you set, ensuring guests only have access for the period you intend, without the risk of forgotten credentials lingering indefinitely.
Access Logging
Optional logging records the websites each user accesses. This can be essential should a user access illegal material that is traced back to your internet connection, providing documentation that protects your organisation.
How It Works
When a guest connects to your WiFi network they are presented with a login portal before they can access the internet. You control who receives credentials, how long those credentials remain valid, and what content they can access.
Behind the scenes, the system:
- Isolates guest traffic from your internal network
- Enforces bandwidth limits per user or per session
- Applies site restrictions to block inappropriate content
- Records access logs should they be required
- Automatically revokes expired accounts
Management is handled through a simple interface; issuing new accounts takes seconds, and the system runs without day-to-day maintenance once configured.
Why It Matters
Providing an unmanaged open WiFi connection creates real risk:
- Legal liability: if someone uses your connection to access illegal material, it may initially be traced to your organisation. Access logs and controlled credentials demonstrate due diligence.
- Network abuse: without bandwidth controls, a single user streaming video can degrade connectivity for everyone else.
- Security: unmanaged guest devices on the same network as your internal systems create an attack surface that is simple to avoid with proper isolation.
