When visiting a hotel, coffee shop or museum, what is one of the first things you do as a visitor? Jump on the Wi-Fi, right? Cell service can be spotty, so staying connected for better texting, social media uploads or just safety means connecting to the venue’s Wi-Fi has become a default action. We barely even think about it.
And when it comes to providing this type of service, venues need a platform that is simple, reliable and secure for guests and staff accessing it. Let’s discuss Nomadix Captive Portal for Wi-Fi onboarding, and why venues find it valuable for their guests.
What is Nomadix Captive Portal?
Our solution is a cloud-based visitor Wi-Fi onboarding and management platform that’s available as a module of our suite of internet gateways. It’s built around simplicity and customization.
What are the benefits?
Personalization with No Coding Required: Non-technical team members can effortlessly configure visitor Wi-Fi onboarding. Choose from pre-designed templates and customize it with welcome text, a logo and images to match your brand. Add multiple languages to support diverse guest demographics, include your own hotel’s custom Wi-Fi terms and conditions and automatically redirect Wi-Fi users to your website after authentication to add another layer of personalization. The responsive, multilingual landing page is ready in just minutes.
Fast Provisioning: Go live with Nomadix Captive Portal for Wi-Fi Onboarding in 3 simple steps – 1. Create your Network Zone, 2. Create your User Journey and 3. Deploy to your network. The setup is not complex, and the process is streamlined to quickly enable the property’s Wi-Fi and also get guests connected easily.
Security and Control: Our solution ensures that only authenticated Wi-Fi users gain access to the network, adding an extra layer of protection. This can be done through numerous authentication methods including:
- Vouchers – Generate single-use codes or batches of unique vouchers to distribute to guests or day visitors, such as conference attendees.
- Click to Connect – Allows guests to get logged in anonymously with just one click.
- PMS Authentication for Hotels – Allow guests to log in using their last name and room number, ensuring that only hotel guests gain access.
- Dual Authentication: Even enable dual authentication methods on your portal so users can choose their preferred option. Our ready-made dual authentication templates make this easy to set up.
Additionally, the venue can set session limits and bandwidth restrictions to manage network usage in the case of a big number of concurrent users to keep a quality experience for everyone attending. Also for VIP guests or for onsite staff that need more bandwidth allotments, offer higher bandwidth allowances with a unique voucher code.
Integrations: Connect with other Nomadix products, including our Nomadix Gateways and our PMS integration, for a “Better Together” approach to your products and gain features, such dynamic bandwidth management, load balancing, high-availability and a firewall. The vendor-agnostic solution ensures a consistent experience across any LAN and WLAN infrastructure or Nomadix’s wireless access points, controllers and switches.
We strive to create solutions that provide peace of mind for our customers. Now it’s simpler than ever to enable guests to easily access the Wi-Fi network with a branded landing page, numerous authentication methods and the look and feel they expect from the brand.
