Student housing WiFi that feels like home — a private network for every student

Dorm WiFi shouldn't feel like dorm WiFi.

Most student housing runs one shared network: no privacy between roommates, devices that won't follow students to common areas, and move-in/move-out that buries IT in manual work each semester. Cloud4Wi gives every student a private, home-like network — automatically — on the access points you already own.

MDU WIFI FOR STUDENT HOUSING

Give every student a private, home-like network — automatically

Each student gets their own Personal Area Network (PAN), secured with PPSK, that follows them from their room to every common area. Onboarding runs automatically at move-in through your identity provider or PMS, and access is revoked instantly at move-out. Students self-manage their own devices and guest access from a branded portal.

CLOUD NETWORK ACCESS CONTROL FOR STUDENT HOUSING

Keep the rest of the property secure and connected

Beyond student rooms, Cloud4Wi connects everyone else the right way: visitors get scoped, time-limited WiFi through a captive portal; property staff and their devices authenticate through your identity provider; and shared or IoT devices get per-device PPSK credentials. Each group stays isolated from students' private networks — no flat shared-password network.

Frequently asked questions

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

Cloud4Wi provisions a Personal Area Network (PAN) for each student using PPSK credentials, so they connect their phones, laptops, TVs, and consoles to a private, isolated network — just like home. The network follows them from their room to common areas like the gym, lounge, and study spaces, and devices stay separated from other students for privacy and security.

It's zero-touch. Move-in onboarding runs automatically through integrations with your identity provider or property management system — students get WiFi the moment they arrive, with no manual credential handoffs. When a student moves out, access is revoked instantly and completely across every access point, so no orphaned credentials are left active and IT has nothing to clean up.

Yes. Cloud4Wi's browserless device support lets students connect every device they own — smart TVs, gaming consoles, streaming sticks, and IoT gadgets — directly into their Personal Area Network. There's no MAC address entry, no captive portal, and no helpdesk ticket. Devices stay isolated from other students and reconnect automatically across the property's common areas.

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

Each group gets its own appropriate access. Visitors connect through a captive portal with time-limited, scoped access; property staff and their devices authenticate through your identity provider with SSO and Passpoint; and shared or IoT devices get per-device PPSK credentials. Everyone stays isolated from students' private networks, so guests and operations never share the same flat network as residents.

Yes. Cloud4Wi is SOC 2 Type II certified, GDPR-native, and registered in the CSA STAR registry. Each student gets a unique PPSK credential, so devices are encrypted and isolated from neighbors by default. The platform includes consent management, configurable data-retention policies, and a resident-facing MyData Portal, so privacy compliance is built in rather than bolted on.
