Offer your users a secure, personalised experience
What is a WiFi captive portal?
The WiFi captive portal we offer is the gateway to the client WiFi network. It is a connection web page to which users are automatically directed and identify themselves to access the network. Several authentication methods are available (e-mail, connection codes, sponsor, etc.), enabling you to control access to the network. The WiFi captive portal adapts to your brand (logo, colours, image) for a personalised experience and is displayed in the appropriate language, depending on the customer's nationality.
The first time a user connects to an establishment's client WiFi network, they are automatically directed to a page known as a "captive portal" or "splash screen". The portal allows users to accept the terms of use and confidentiality policy, to request personal information or to pay for access to a paid WiFi service.
The WiFi captive portal fulfills essential roles in granting access to the network:
For all these reasons, incorporating a WiFi captive portal into your establishment offers a smart solution for securing network access!
