Libraries by the numbers
Challenges & fixes
Public WiFi has to be open, safe, and unmonitored-feeling all at once
Libraries serve as a public internet lifeline for patrons without home access, but that openness has to coexist with content filtering requirements and protecting minors, without turning the library into a surveillance experience.
- ✓Captive Portal applies age-appropriate content policy without invasive tracking
- ✓Data Compliance & Consent Management respects patron privacy expectations
- ✓OpenX AAA separates public, staff, and administrative systems
Branch-by-branch management doesn't scale for a small IT team
A library system with a dozen branches and a two-person IT team can't visit every branch to troubleshoot — most systems still require exactly that.
- ✓OpenX Cloud manages every branch from one console
- ✓Zero-Touch Provisioning gets new branches online without a site visit
- ✓WiFi Analytics & Monetization-style usage reporting helps justify funding requests
Our solutions
OpenX Cloud is an open wireless cloud controller for Enterprise, SMB, and MDU deployments, built on an open technology stack (OpenWiFi cloud SDK and AP NOS). It runs on low-cost, low-compute AP hardware from any supported ODM — no hardware vendor lock-in — with full WiFi 6/6E support and backward compatibility for WiFi 4/5. Deploy on AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean, or your own data center, as SaaS or a licensed platform.
OpenX Gateway is the controller underneath Wifi-Soft's guest and staff networks — hotspot management and AAA authentication in one place, whether you run one site or a few hundred.
OpenX WiFi is the OpenWiFi-based access point firmware behind every Wifi-Soft deployment — Wifi-Soft doesn't manufacture access points. Instead, OpenX WiFi runs on a growing list of supported ODM hardware, so you pick the AP that fits your budget and site instead of being locked into one vendor's box, all managed centrally through OpenX Gateway or OpenX Cloud.
