The patent relates to using captive portals to securely manage network access requests under Passpoint, formerly known as Hotspot 2.0. Nomadix’s technology gives hotels and other organizations greater control and visibility over their visitor-based networks, helping drive digital engagement and deliver customized, location-based services and tiered upgrade options. For example, venues leveraging visitor-based networks can offer Passpoint through loyalty program integrations to offer secure connections to the network, while also enabling better engagement, upselling, tiered service offerings (i.e., events, Wi-Fi upgrades), and payment acceptance throughout the guest’s stay at the property.
