Remote WiFi Hotspot Control

What is an Hotspot?

An Hotspot is a WiFi Access Point that is made for Public Access to Internet. It has a Captive Portal which authenticates the Hotspot Users and grant access to internet if the user's credential mets the access policy condition.

How does it work?

The WiFi User connects to the Hotspot WiFi network with a computer, smartphone or any other WiFi device with a web browser. Then any connection attempt to a website will be automatically redirected to the webpage authentication by the Captive Portal.
This redirection is performed by a software (i.e. Chillispot) which is installed in the WiFi Access Point, because the user is not yet authenticated. Then the user will be invited to identify itself typing username and password on webportal.
In order to complete the authentication process a Radius Server is required.

How to setup your Hotspot

Setting up an Hotspot is very simple.
Radius Server Hotspot Management Portal is compatible with an open source Captive Portal software (chillispot), or Mikrotik board. For Mikrotik configuration we have a complete set of configuration files to be downloaded on the router.
The recommended solution is to buy one of our router with a preinstalled firmware already configured to be connected to the Radius System.
If you have the skills, you can also use chillispot with any other free linux firmware (like openwrt or ddwrt), or a linux PC.
