OpenWisp controlling different networks

[Carlos Santiago]

Hello,

We are working in a project with multiple wifi hotspots and we are considering different solutions.

We have multiple sites with hotspots (each one is a different network), and we woul like to have features like a a captive portal, authentication and content filtering without having to deploy extra hardware in each site (other than the ap's). We want to have all this functionality in our data center to have a centralized management of all the hotspots.

Would openWisp support this kind of architecture?

Thank you,
Carlos

Hi Carlos,

of course! That's what OpenWISP was built for. Look at this hotspot map, which contains the public wifi hotspot geolocation of the network we and our partners manage (there are many more companies and no-profit communities using OpenWISP that are not shown there!).

The only thing that OpenWISP doesn't do is content filtering, but you can use one of these PfSense plugins for this:
