How to Activate a Free Access Hotspot

Some hotels need to provide free Internet services to hundreds of guests on a daily
basis, and managing the Internet access for so many people can be very
complicated without the right equipment. With web authentication methods such as
user agreement and web portal, hotel guests are redirected to a web-based
authentication portal upon the first attempt to access the network. In some countries,
the law requires the identification and tracking of users who use public Internet access.
The USG1100 can authenticate people by forcing them to receive an authentication
code via SMS on their phone. In this way, the USG1100 can authorize the user's Internet
access via their mobile phone number and keep track of the device in case of illegal
activities via the hotspot. Guests can get free access to the Internet in a matter of
seconds simply by entering all required personal contact information and agreeing to
the policy of user agreement. If a user that does not have a guest account wants to
access the free Internet for a specified period of time, his or her mobile phone number
must be entered to receive the guest account information by SMS.
