Airports, high railway stations, malls, hospitals, schools——The challenges facing these WiFi are unique: the user community is diverse and mobile, with simple certifications and compliance requirements for auditing by the Ministry of Public Security.
Public Security Department Order No. 82 of 2015 requires WiFi to keep a log and the identity of an Internet user is retroactive. This requirement makes it difficult to live in a number of places.
Portal certification is not just a threshold for access to the public venue, but also a complete compliance system.
The first is identity retention. The WiFi certification in public places can be easily configured. Mobile phone number authentication is the most common, and users enter a cell phone number to get their code. The system records information on mobile phone numbers, authentication times, terminal MAC addresses, IP addresses, etc., which meets regulatory retention requirements. V7 supports matching with operators ' SMS gateways, sending verification codes stable, and has high certification success rates.
The logs are not stored, but they need to be accessible. When security incidents occur, the public security authorities require that they quickly trace back to specific Internet users.
Third is content auditing. In addition to identification, some sites need to have a compliance audit of online content. For example, schools need to filter out poor websites and businesses need to control the release of confidential information.
The public area WiFi also has a pain in the user’s experience. In places with high passenger traffic, if Portal page loads slow, the authentication process Caden receives a large number of complaints.
Multi-branch integrated management is also a necessity for public spaces. Links to the mall, hotel chains, and hospitals often have hundreds of branches. If each point is managed separately, the cost of carrying the unit is extremely high.
Speaking of user experience optimization, there are several directions that deserve attention.
The first is Seamless Authentication. MicroCurrent WiFi is already very common, and users can connect automatically by scanning two-dimensional codes without having to manually enter a cell phone number and experience near zero thresholds. For places with large traffic, NATSHEL_SEAMLES_AUTH can significantly reduce access to Portal pages, reduce server pressure and enhance user experiences.
The V7 system supports multi-language switching, which can be automatically adapted to the equipment language.
Public WiFi is a high-intensity site for cyberattacks, and there are cases of ARP fraud, fishing hot spots, and middleman attacks.
For places with particularly high human flows, such as railway stations and subway stations, the Portal certification system also needs to respond to sudden peaks. The V7 certification module support level is expanded to accommodate certification peaks by adding nodes without a one-time investment in hardware costs.
In the 5G era, there was no value for the public WiFi. The answer is yes. Five G-based stations have limited coverage, and perform less than WiFi in indoors, underground, and closed spaces. And five G flows cost, with WiFi flowing at near zero.
WiFi also has a special application value for medical facilities.
For educational establishments such as libraries and self-study rooms, WiFi Portal certification can be combined with traffic control to limit the speed of P2P downloads and large file transfers to ensure basic Internet needs for most people.
For catering and retail establishments, Portal also has an added value: the collection of user information.
The NATSHEL_BRAND V7 system has mature solutions for the WiFi scene in public places that can meet the needs of different sizes from small sites to large transport hubs.
