Access tracking and reporting

Promote library membership

The netloan Wi-Fi module provides a completely automated login process for users wishing to access your wireless network. By authenticating users against your LMS, it allows library members to freely access the Wi-Fi network without staff assistance, encouraging users to sign up as library members.

 

Control access

The solution enables you to protect the wireless network, in two key ways:

  • You can set controls for length and number of Wi-Fi sessions, configurable by user group, so providing opportunity to limit heavy user usage if network speeds are slow. You can also link availability to each site’s opening hours
  • Only library members or registered guests can login and use Wi-Fi, allowing you to identify and control usage

Platform independence

Netloan Wi-Fi works with most manufacturers’ hardware, offering you complete flexibility in your new Wi-Fi roll out. If your Wi-Fi hotspots are already in place, but you wish to regulate or measure usage, then netloan Wi-Fi is the perfect solution.

Scalability

No matter how many library branches or other hotspots you wish to include, netloan Wi-Fi involves a single installation on a central server. So it’s a quick way of making a big difference to your library network.

Access tracking and reporting

The solution incorporates useful management information reporting, so you can understand more about Wi-Fi usage in your libraries. Reports can cover access by site, time and date, and can even provide demographic information by filtering on user group activity.

Not least, a record of all wireless logins is accessible on demand, allowing identification of individual users in keeping with the Digital Economy Act 2010 for Internet Access Providers.

Case Studies and Research
