Why Cloud4Wi
Managed Wi-Fi hotspot services
Cloud4Wi is a cloud as service to enable next
generation managed Wi-Fi hotspot services,
easily and quickly manageable and
customizable thanks to an intuitive control
panel.

Multi-level approach and policy

virtualization
Cloud4Wi adopts a multi-level approach,
enabling different players to manage their Wi-Fi
hotspot services, based on a tree-based
hierarchical enforcement.
In detail, Cloud4Wi allows the Managed Service
Provider to offer high-customizable managed
Wi-Fi hotspot services, giving Tenants and WiFi
Area Owners the maximum flexibility in their
definition.
The Managed Service Provider (MSP) allows
Tenants to deliver Wi-Fi hotspot services,
managing service’s options from the top or
enabling Tenants to self-manage them.
Each Tenant can create and manage his own
WiFi Area, defining service plans, pricing model
and splash portal.
Each WiFi Area Owner can manage splash
portal contents, use web apps for promotion or
marketing purposes, as well as customize his
own service model.
 Why Cloud4Wi
New media channel
Cloud4Wi implements an innovative splash
portal, which is not just a login box but a new
generation login portal, providing a feature-rich
easy-to-customize multimedia communication
channel between end-users and Wi-Fi hotspots.
Leveraging the responsive approach, the splash
portal adapts its own content and template to
devices, ensuring usability on laptops, tablets
and smartphones.

How it works
Vendor agnostic
Cloud4Wi is a vendor agnostic solution allowing
a huge reduction of up-front investments and
operational costs. Thus, Cloud4Wi is fully
integrated with the most popular vendors of
access and network devices, and firmware.

Public or private cloud delivery

Cloud4Wi is hosted in the cloud infrastructure of
Amazon EC2 Web Service for the public cloud
offer, but it can be also installed in a private
data center of the manager services provider for
a dedicated telco initiative (private cloud). Thus,
Cloud4Wi enables a very fast setup of the
initiative, avoiding local installation and
configuration.

Cloud management
The intuitive control panel enables the cloud
management of Wi-Fi hotspot services at each
level (MSP, Tenant, WiFi Area Owner). The
control panel is developed and optimized for
:-)
various devices (laptops, tablets and
smartphones) to simplify daily operations.
How it is made

Cloud4Wi is based on WROP|ASM, a carrier-
class access and service management platform,
which guarantees high level of reliability and
scalability, as well as provides a complete set of
API for an easy integration with external
OSS/BSS systems and network devices.
