With the widespread need for internet access, many organizations seek to provide internet connectivity as a service to increase visitor satisfaction. However, offering internet in public spaces requires certain considerations, and failing to address them may lead to financial and security consequences for these organizations.
What is a Captive Portal or Internet Access Gateway?
A captive portal is a web page that users of a public network see before they can access the internet, and they cannot use the network without entering their credentials there. In fact, a captive portal is a dedicated internet access gateway used for managing internet access in public spaces.
