WifiGem is a network access control system for both WiFi and wired devices. It provides the guest-facing login experience and the administration tools behind it, while keeping authentication, session management and user data under your control.
Authenticate guests locally or against existing identity systems, with multiple login methods available for each portal.
Monitor connected devices and usage in real time, then analyse historical network activity.
Create branded, multilingual login experiences with your own content, policies and authentication options.
Define who can connect, how long they can connect and how their network access is managed.
Choose how guests authenticate for each login page. WifiGem supports local authentication, self-registration, social login, vouchers, anonymous, device authentication and integration with existing identity systems. Methods can be mixed together.
Keep guest accounts and authentication data on the WifiGem system.
Authenticate users with credentials created through self-registration, administration, CSV import or the REST API.
Build registration forms with configurable fields. Verification can use a one-time token sent by email or SMS.
Redirect users to their selected social provider and return them to the captive portal after successful authentication. Available independently for each login page.
Create virtual vouchers associated with user profiles and defined access duration or usage limits.
Recognise known devices and automate their login. MAC addresses can also be blacklisted to deny network access.
Authenticate against LDAP services such as Microsoft Active Directory or OpenLDAP, with local authentication available as a fallback.
Allow guests to access the Internet without creating an account or providing personal information.
Control guest accounts through profiles and policies instead of treating every connection the same.
Define session duration, traffic limits, connection hours, expiration, maximum devices and other access parameters. Assign profiles by day of week.
Configured limits are enforced automatically through profiles, and connections are closed when a user exceeds permitted usage.
Whitelist trusted devices, blacklist unwanted devices, disable users and forcibly disconnect active sessions when necessary.
Allocate minimum and maximum download/upload speeds to each user profile in Bridge Mode. Enable bandwidth borrowing from unused profiles.
Recognise known devices and automate their login even when MAC address randomization is enabled, supporting seamless roaming and reconnection.
Apply consistent access rules to users and devices through centrally managed profiles and policies.
The web-based administration dashboard combines system configuration, live monitoring and historical analysis. It is available to administrators and is separate from the guest WiFi network.
View connected users, device information, used time and uploaded/downloaded data.
Analyse network activity across 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days and one year.
Drill down into top users, connections, traffic and individual user activity.
Zoom, filter and export statistics in multiple formats, including CSV and images.
The dashboard also manages users, profiles, hotspots, login pages, network parameters and other WifiGem services. Administrators can forcibly disconnect users when necessary.
Built-in network services give administrators direct control over the guest network and its resources, while security and administration controls help keep guest access separated from the business network.
WifiGem is designed to fit into existing IT environments rather than replace them. Integrate authentication, administration and reporting with the systems already used by your organisation.
Integrate with established access points and enterprise infrastructure without requiring a vendor-specific network or hardware devices.
Execute supported WifiGem functions programmatically from external systems and integrate the captive portal into existing workflows.
Extend the login process with custom callbacks for integration with external systems. Requires custom development.
Send system information to an external syslog service for centralised reporting.
Import and export guest information to simplify administration and data handling.
Authenticate users against existing identity systems, including Microsoft Active Directory and OpenLDAP.
Test WifiGem in your own environment and see how its authentication, access control and analytics fit your deployment.
