Portal
Portal is a captive portal / splash page product for venues that want to control guest internet access through a browser-based redirect and registration flow. When a guest connects to your open WiFi SSID, their browser is automatically redirected to a Wiacom-hosted splash page. After completing registration, Wiacom authorizes their device’s MAC address on the controller and grants internet access.How It Works
