Introduction

Robustel's "Portal Manager" is a specialized module within the Robustel Cloud Manager Service (RCMS) platform. It is designed to provide advanced Wi-Fi hotspot management capabilities specifically tailored for "Guest Wi-Fi" and "Passenger Wi-Fi" applications. This feature allows businesses, particularly in high-volume environments like buses, public transport, and small retail outlets, to offer controlled, branded, and secure Wi-Fi access to their customers or passengers.

Key Advantages

  • Customizable User Experience: Enables the generation of custom "splash screens" or landing pages that Wi-Fi users see before gaining access, allowing for branding and targeted messaging.

 

  • User Access Control: Provides capabilities to limit per-user bandwidth and session time, ensuring fair usage and a consistent experience for all users.

 

  • Remote Management: Allows for remote updates of critical Wi-Fi parameters such as data limits and SSID names/passwords directly from the RCMS platform.

 

  • Connection Analytics: Offers extensive connection statistics management and graphical reports. This includes data on:
    • Total Wi-Fi Client Sessions (unique MAC addresses seen)
    • Returning Wi-Fi Clients (previously identified MAC addresses)
    • Newly Added Wi-Fi Clients (new registrants by MAC address)
    • Average Client Session Time
    • Average Data Usage Per Session

 

  • Content Filtering Integration: Features deep integration with content filtering experts like CleanBrowse to prevent access to inappropriate, illegal, or "adult" content, which is often a mandatory requirement for public Wi-Fi services.

 

  • Cost-Effective for High Volume: Priced to suit high-volume applications, making it a viable solution for businesses needing to offer Wi-Fi to many users.
