One Console, All Devices PONIVA, MikroTik and FortiGate devices are managed from a single console; no per-device configuration needed.
Managing a separate hotspot at every location
In multi-site organizations such as hotels, store chains or campuses, each branch has its hotspot configured on separate devices and separate panels. Guest authentication, welcome pages and user management differ from site to site, and problems are only noticed on the ground.
Corporate networks also need to separate guest traffic from the company network and know who is connecting, which usually means setting up local RADIUS servers and extra hardware.
