Local Government by the numbers
Challenges & fixes
Public WiFi and internal municipal systems risk sharing infrastructure
A resident's phone connecting to guest WiFi at city hall shouldn't be anywhere near the network permitting or finance systems run on, but budget-constrained municipal IT often can't afford fully separate infrastructure.
- ✓OpenX AAA enforces separation between public and municipal systems
- ✓Self-Hosted on your VM keeps sensitive data within municipal-controlled infrastructure
- ✓Data Compliance & Consent Management supports public records and privacy requirements
Every civic building was set up differently, by whoever was around at the time
City hall, the public works yard, and the community center each got WiFi installed at different times by different vendors, and nobody has one view of what's actually running where.
- ✓OpenX Cloud standardizes configuration across every building
- ✓Zero-Touch Provisioning brings new or renovated buildings online fast
- ✓Multi-Tenant / White-Label Controller keeps departments administratively separate
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 AAA is the open-standard RADIUS authentication layer behind every OpenX deployment — built on FreeRADIUS, with a captive portal builder in front of it, so staff and guest AAA, session accounting, and policy enforcement run hosted instead of on servers you stand up and patch yourself.
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.
