ALPS Gateway can be used in different environments from schools, hotels, business organizations, hospitals, entertainment centers (Game centers, Cinema) to community centers, office buildings as well as residential areas. While the increase in Internet line speed and performance in recent years may entice the users, it is essential that the system is user friendly and hassle free.
ALPS Gateway for Campus Network is designed to address the unique requirements and network needs in a campus environment.
The campus usually caters for mass Internet connections for both internal, i.e. staffs and students, and the public visiting the institutions. The solution provided should therefore be able to accommodate and manage users from all three categories.
This is achieved through seamless integration with various external systems like School management system there by allowing students and staffs to connect using their credentials (Last Name and ID). Visiting guests will obtain authentication through social media authentication thereby mitigating the need of the IT managers to create temporary credentials for visitors.
