Scenario 2 – 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 such as user
agreement and web portal, hotel guests are redirected to the 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 UAG4100 can authenticate people by forcing them to receive an authentication
code via SMS on their phone. In this way, the UAG4100 can authorize user 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. Without a guest account, to browse the Internet free of
charge for a specified period of time, the user must entering his or her mobile phone
number to receive the guest account information by SMS.
