Integration Flexibility
Horizon works with the vendor’s cloud API where available. Where API access is not supported or desired, Horizon can operate via CLI-based provisioning. This makes Horizon vendor-agnostic and deployable across a broad range of enterprise and hospitality hardware.Access Features Within Horizon
Horizon does not replace the WiFi access layer — it orchestrates it. Depending on the deployment, Horizon provisions access through:- WiFi Pass (iPSK) — a unique personal passphrase per user on a shared SSID
- Key Access — the shared venue passphrase delivered to the user by email
- Dedicated SSID — a fully personal SSID provisioned on the controller per user or per room
Key Capabilities
Personal SSID
Each user gets their own dedicated SSID — not a shared network
WiFi teleport
Personal WiFi experience follows the user across locations
Automated provisioning
SSID and credentials activated automatically on onboarding; deactivated on expiry
Vendor-agnostic
API mode where supported; CLI mode as fallback
Use Cases
| Use case | Description |
|---|---|
| Hotel guest personal WiFi | Each checked-in guest gets a private SSID for the duration of their stay |
| Temporary private SSID | Short-term networks for events, meetings, or temporary access |
| Residence / serviced apartments | Permanent or rolling personal SSIDs for residents |
| Bring your own SSID | Users keep their SSID name and passphrase across supported venues |
| Staff WiFi | Individually provisioned WiFi for staff or contractors |
How Horizon Differs from WiFi Pass
| WiFi Pass | Horizon | |
|---|---|---|
| Credential type | Unique iPSK on a shared SSID | Personal SSID or credential per user |
| SSID visibility | One shared SSID | Each user can have their own SSID |
| PMS / CRM integration | Optional | Native |
| Roaming across locations | No | Yes |
| API required | Yes (or RADIUS) | No — CLI fallback supported |
Provisioning Triggers
- Hotel PMS check-in (OPERA Cloud / OHIP and others)
- Guest Connect or portal registration
- API call from external system
- Admin action in the Wiacom dashboard
- Scheduled activation (pre-arrival)
Lifecycle
- Activation — SSID and/or credentials provisioned on the controller (via API or CLI)
- Active period — user connects; usage and analytics tracked
- Expiry — access revoked automatically on check-out or period end
- Renewal — extended on PMS update or API call
