Alternatively, businesses can simply ask customers to agree to terms and conditions before granting access.

Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Passpoint Passpoint® is now included on the TQ5403 Series from Allied Telesis. This industry-wide solution streamlines Wi-Fi access and eliminates the need for users to find and authenticate a network each time they visit/return to a wireless network.

Passpoint enabled Access Points provide a reliable, secure, automatic connection experience. Furthermore, the European Commission has been widely promoting the WiFi4EU program to help financially support those who deploy free Wi-Fi connectivity, Allied Telesis Access Points are eligible to apply for this Wi-Fi initiative.
