About Netinary
Netinary secures and simplifies Hotspot and Workspot access management through intelligent connectivity control and monetization solutions, ensuring a smooth, secure user experience and full compliance.
Netinary is a French company that develops software solutions for the deployment and operation of wireless high-speed Internet access “Hotspots” or “WorkSpots”.
The Netinary solution allows for easy management and security of access to the corporate network by mobile employees or visitors (suppliers, customers, service providers, etc.) and IOT, whether via wireless (WiFi, 5G, etc.) or wired access. This solution has been proven since 2001 at numerous sites in France and abroad and with numerous mobile operators.
Central MultiBox (CMB)
Managing secure, compliant, and seamless network access for diverse users and devices across complex Wifi infrastructures.
Netinary Cloud solution is based on a Netinary multisite architecture where the Central MultiBox (CMB) serves as an external captive portal for enterprise Wi-Fi users.
The CMB is hosted in a secure data center and delivered in Cloud mode. It provides centralized services for user access management, captive portal presentation, and supervision.
Wi-Fi networks deployed on customer sites redirect end users to the CMB for authentication and access control.
At each site, OmniAccess Stellar Wi-Fi Access Points act as the main network components interfacing with the CMB. Each Stellar access point operates primarily as a Network Access Server (NAS), redirecting Wi-Fi clients to the CMB for authentication and forwarding user session information. The CMB enforces access rules and returns authorization decisions.
This architecture allows multiple corporate Wi-Fi sites to rely on a single, centralized captive portal, while keeping traffic handling and network access local to each site.
