Many units use it to find out that the scene is not right. Hotels complain about the trouble with their customers, the market feels that the visitors are loosely managed and the park thinks that the maintenance of the employee’s account is too expensive. The problem is not whether the equipment is expensive, but not when the needs of the site were really unclarified before the selection.
The core of the wireless authentication is to answer two questions:Who's gonna use it?andWho cares?The combinations correspond to different authentication methods and deployment structures. The following three most common scenarios illustrate this reasoning.
I. HOUSE SHOWING: RUNNING, VERY OVERSIGHT AND COMPLEMENTARY
Hotels are one of the most complex certification scenarios, with three core challenges.
First, the population is moving very fast.A 100-room medium hotel may have dozens or hundreds of people entering and leaving every day, leaving and staying at different times. If each customer has to manually build an account number and a password, the front desk will never get through.——When guests are admitted, PMS automatically synchronizes the number of the house or time spent in the residence to the certification system, generates temporary vouchers (the + password or dynamic 2D code), direct access to the room number when the occupants connect to wireless and as long as the network is open, exits with the PMS synchronizing off-limits, and does not require extra front-office operations.
Secondly, the internal staff and residents are separated.The hotel staff have financial systems, back-office systems to access, and the occupants simply need to go on the outside. If two people walk together with SSID, access control is a problem.
Third, the logs are required to meet the requirements of the network.NATSHEL_BRAND’s log server is able to record the end-of-pipe MAC address, IP address, Internet access time, access to websites, authentication accounts, etc., and supports encryption storage and backup, while at the same time it can be passed on to PIP.
There is an additional benefit: Natshell_BARND NATSHEL_AUTH_GATEWAY can be integrated into IPTV. One operator line can stabilize the distribution of high-resolution channels to eight rooms by grouping technology, and the gateway will be handled directly without extra deployment of the IPTV top box. This combination is attractive for hotels.——Wireless authentication, Log Audit and IPTV are handled with one device and the wiring of the machine room is much less stressful.
II. LINKS, SHOWING OVER: Multistorey Condoms, High Visitors Flows, Brand Show
The retailing of chains and single shops is completely different from the demand structure of hotels.
The core difference is the management dimension.There are dozens or even hundreds of shops in the chain, each with probably only a dozen people online, but Headquarters needs to have a uniform view of all the store certification data, online numbers and traffic usage.——The headquarters unified account-setting strategy, a uniform configuration of the authentication page style, and separate doorways run independently, where data are aggregated to the back office. Under this structure, operators or mall managers can manage wireless access rights for all doors on one platform without having to log in to store-to-shop configurations.
Visitors experience is particularly demanding.The mall visitors connect to wireless, and what they usually expect is"You can use it if you open your phone.", instead of filling in a bunch of messages. SMS authentication is the most common compromise solution——Users enter a cell number, system sends random passwords and enter passwords to complete authentication. NatShell SMS authentication can be connected to SMS gateways, support mobile, connect, telecommunications three-line dispatch, and the authentication code arrives within 10 seconds. Also, SMS certification has a hidden value: cell phone numbers acquired through Radius are available for secondary SMS marketing——The user leaves the shop and issues a promotional message at minimal cost, which can be quantified with conversion rate data.
The authentication page is a brand display window.The market wirelessly authenticated Portal page is not just a login box, which can carry advertising and marketing content. NATSHEL_BRAND supports customizing property items, preferential information, door guide, etc. on the authentication page, which makes it mandatory to jump off the mall office network or designates an active page.
III. THE SCIENCE HOUSE PLACE: THREE WORKERS, BIG AREAS, AND EQUIPMENT
Wireless certification of parks is more complex than hotels and malls, because there are too many web users in the parks.
First, the user hierarchy is most complex.In a science park, there may be both regular staff, outsourced personnel, visitors, cooperative business personnel and dormitories.——The formal staff needs access to the intranet and some of the Intranet, the outsiders may only be allowed to visit it, visitors can only go on the net, and dormitory households need independent billing strategies. NATSHEL_BRAND’s Portal certification supports the management of a user group strategy based on different access rights, bandwidth ceilings, online duration, and the way in which each category of people is connected with available resources, without mixing them into a set of strategies.
Secondly, there is a real need for roaming experiences.The network is not broken when the workers in industrial parks move between office buildings, conference rooms, and dormitories. NATSHEL_BRAND supports L2/L3 travels fast. When users move between APs, the authentication status can follow without re-entry. With MAC NETSHELL_SEAMLESS_AUTH, after user first authenticates, subsequent access is automatically released during the effective period, so that it really does."We'll use it wherever we go."。
Third, the network structure is complex.The campus is usually built in office buildings, accommodation buildings, production workshops, outdoor public areas and has different AP selections and deployment patterns for each scenario.——These APs are managed by the AC controller, and access controls are controlled by the Portal Certification System of NatShell, which is a one-size system, not a multi-package.
List of judgements prior to the selection
Ultimately, the wireless certification option is not a selection function. It answers three questions: who uses it, who handles it and how long it's kept. There are specific answers to these three questions, and then product capacity, which is the right choice.
Hotel scene:Priority for PMS docking capabilities and log compliance, IPTV integration is plus sub-items.
The chain of doors scenes:Priority given to multi-store central management capacity and Portal page customization flexibility- SMS marketing is value added.
The Smart Park scene:Priority is given to multi-user group management and seamless roaming capacityThe unified control of APs in different regions is the basis item.
Let's get the scene straight and have a half-selection.
