Secure and convenient access to Wi-Fi

For mobile business people who often work outside the office, they often encounter Wi-Fi networks in other companies, but generally they cannot access the Internet as a visitor. The current practice is to add temporary visitor including contractor, business partner and customer) information to the user database and distribute the user name and password to the user. The disadvantage of this approach lies in the need to plan ahead and the participation of IT staff, which greatly compromises the flexibility of visiting reception.

In fact, in the Wi-Fi access policy, convenience and security are not completely contradictory. Trapeze has made some progress on this issue. The company recently released a SmartPass system that simplifies and speeds up the process of logging on to the wireless Internet as a visitor. The system has two layers of access: one layer is applicable to non-IT personnel and only supports creating a Guest password that can last for several hours, days, or weeks. The other layer is applicable to IT personnel, IT personnel can control user access, data and records in a more precise manner. SmartPass provides comprehensive control over the logon of every visitor. You can restrict logon based on the time in the day, the day of the week, and the order of the date, it can also be controlled through broadband usage, service quality, network resource access, security level, and many other parameters.

SmartPass uses a centralized visitor account database. Individual users can establish access connections without changing the configuration and storage data of the WLAN controller. For visitors, they can quickly obtain the user name and password and immediately start running on site. This centralized approach is not only more clean, but also prevents employees without professional knowledge from mistakenly changing the configuration of critical network hardware. In addition, SmartPass provides centralized reporting and visitor logon logs, and features self-maintenance.

It is reported that Trapeze's SmartPass system can work with third-party WLAN access points, but these access points must be managed by Trapeze's wireless LAN controller.
