AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) is the foundation of secure guest Wi‑Fi. It helps you verify who is connecting, control what they can access, and maintain logs of their sessions for audits and investigations.

Authentication: confirm identity

Instead of a shared password, modern guest networks use OTP, QR, vouchers, or credentials to uniquely identify users. This reduces misuse and makes onboarding easier for guests.

Authorization: apply the right policy

AAA lets you assign policies based on user type (guest, staff, VIP, exhibitor). You can set speed tiers, time limits, data caps (FUP), VLAN mapping, and device limits—so performance stays stable even at peak hours.

Accounting: visibility & compliance

Accounting records sessions, device identifiers, IP allocations, and timestamps. This improves troubleshooting, helps with compliance needs, and gives management clear reporting.

Practical outcomes

• Fewer complaints due to consistent policy enforcement
• Reduced password sharing and unauthorized usage
• Audit‑ready logs for governance and investigations

BandXpert brings AAA + a policy engine + AI insights together so you can run guest Wi‑Fi like a managed service.
