Campus WiFi That's Secure for Everyone — Students, Faculty, Staff, and Devices

Education

A campus has to be open and locked down at the same time.

A campus serves thousands of students, faculty, staff, guests, and devices — and most WiFi can't tell them apart. Shared passwords, no per-user policy, and residence halls on one flat network create both friction and risk. Cloud4Wi gives every person and device the right secure access — on the infrastructure you already own.
CLOUD NETWORK ACCESS CONTROL FOR EDUCATION

Secure, identity-based access for everyone on campus

Students, faculty, and staff sign in once with campus SSO and get a Passpoint profile for automatic, secure reconnection everywhere. BYOD and personal devices get unique credentials; lab, IoT, and headless devices get per-device PPSK; and access maps to each person's role — no shared passwords, with a full audit trail.

Students, faculty & staff

Identity-based access through campus SSO and your identity provider, no shared passwords.

BYOD & roaming

Automatic, secure reconnection across campus with Passpoint and WBA OpenRoaming.

Lab, IoT & headless devices

Per-device PPSK credentials for lab equipment, sensors, cameras, and IoT.

Visibility & policy

Role-based policies and a full audit trail, with instant access revocation

GUEST WIFI FOR EDUCATION

Easy, branded WiFi for visitors, events, and campus apps

Give visitors, parents, prospective students, and event attendees a fast, branded way to get online through a captive portal — with no IT involvement. Your campus app stays connected on-site through the WiFi mobile SDK, and you can surface location-based services and announcements during onboarding.

Guest & event WiFi

Branded captive-portal access for visitors, parents, prospective students, and campus events.

Campus app & engagement

Keep your campus app connected and surface location-based services on-site.

Consent-based data

Capture consented contact data to power campus communications and event follow-up.

MDU WIFI FOR EDUCATION

Home-like private WiFi in every residence hall

In dorms and student residences, Cloud4Wi gives every student their own Personal Area Network (PAN), secured with PPSK — a private network that follows them across the building. Onboarding runs automatically at the start of term and access is revoked at year-end, with no manual work for IT.

Private network per student

A private, isolated network (PAN) secured with PPSK for every resident.

Zero-touch term lifecycle

Automatic onboarding at the start of term; instant revocation at year-end.

Browserless device support

Connect TVs, consoles, and IoT to a resident's network with no MAC entry or helpdesk ticket.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about guest WiFi, Passpoint, compliance, and how Cloud4Wi works.

Cloud4Wi connects each person through their campus identity — students, faculty, and staff sign in with SSO and get a Passpoint profile for automatic, secure reconnection everywhere. BYOD and personal devices get unique credentials, and access maps to each person's role. No shared passwords, no flat network — every connection is tied to a verified identity, with a full audit trail.

Cloud4Wi uses Passpoint and WBA OpenRoaming, so once a device is onboarded, it reconnects automatically and securely across your campus — and across other OpenRoaming networks worldwide — without logging in again. If your institution participates in eduroam, confirm interoperability with your team; Cloud4Wi's standards-based approach is designed to complement existing campus roaming.

Yes. For residence halls, Cloud4Wi provisions a Personal Area Network (PAN) per student using PPSK, so each student gets a private network for all their devices — TVs, consoles, IoT — with zero-touch onboarding at the start of term and instant revocation at the end. See our student housing approach for the full lifecycle.

Cloud4Wi assigns per-device PPSK credentials to lab equipment, sensors, cameras, and other IoT or headless devices, so they connect securely without a login screen. Each device has its own key, so you can isolate, monitor, and revoke any device individually — keeping research and operational systems off the same flat network as student and guest traffic.

Yes. Cloud4Wi is hardware-independent and runs on the access points and controllers you already own — Cisco, Meraki, HPE Aruba, Ruckus, Extreme, and more — via standard protocols. There's no rip-and-replace and no proprietary hardware. You manage the whole campus from one dashboard and roll out building by building without disrupting students or staff.

Yes. Cloud4Wi is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR-native, with granular consent management, configurable data retention, localized privacy notices, and a MyData Portal for data-rights requests. Because access is identity-based and consent-driven, institutions collect only what they need and handle student and staff data to the privacy standards education requires. Confirm specific obligations (e.g. FERPA) with your team.
