Guest Access & Captive Portal
- Hotels, cafes and co-working spaces provide free Internet service to guests, as expected. However, simply sharing a Wi-Fi password can create security risks. Unauthorized users may gain access and there’s no easy way to track or limit usage. With Quantum Access Manager (QAM), organizations can set up Guest Access and a Captive Portal to keep networks secure while providing a smooth onboarding experience for visitors.
What is Guest Access?
Guest Access is a secure way for visitors, partners or guests to connect to your network without giving them unrestricted access to internal resources. Instead of a single shared password, QAM uses unique guest credentials that can expire after a set time.
What is a Captive Portal?
- A Captive Portal is the web page guests see when they first connect to your Wi-Fi. It prompts them to log in, register or accept terms of use before getting online.
- Consider it a digital front desk that greets every visitor.
- Captive portals can display your company branding, policies and disclaimers.
- Guests can sign in via SMS, email, vouchers or social logins for a smooth experience.
