Captive Portal

Connecting your team to your network so they can perform their jobs – and stay connected with family while off-duty – should be simple. Enterprise Wi-Fi access shouldn’t require complicated PIN systems or heavy administrative management. However, the remote communications industry is increasingly moving toward two service models: lower-cost plans with limited shared data pools, or higher-cost unlimited plans. In these environments, it becomes essential for network managers to control individual user data consumption to keep bandwidth available and IT costs predictable.

Services like Starlink and other pooled-data satellite networks provide powerful connectivity but can make user-level management more difficult. iNet addresses this challenge by applying years of experience managing metered LTE data networks to satellite and hybrid connectivity environments. iNet’s Captive Portal provides a hoteling solution that enables secure user authentication, real-time usage visibility, and policy-based bandwidth management across enterprise Wi-Fi networks.

By monitoring and moderating usage in real time, iNet helps prevent network congestion, reduce slowdowns during peak periods, and ensure fair bandwidth distribution across all users. This proactive approach gives administrators the control they need to manage pooled-data services effectively while helping users understand and adjust their data consumption. The result is improved network reliability, predictable costs, and consistent connectivity for every user on the network.
