AltaPass™ Multi-Password Technology
AltaPass is Alta Labs’ unique patented functionality that allows clients to connect to the same wireless network SSID using different passwords. Clients are provided with different network and internet access levels based on the password used to connect to the network.
When a password is created, select from one of the predefined standard use cases. The password can then be associated with a specific upload or download rate, a VLAN, or set to bypass the filtering rules, and the hotspot functionality, or to ignore the schedule.
