    摘要: A network environment includes multiple wireless access points and communication management hardware. The communication management hardware controls connectivity of a mobile communication device to the first wireless access point. For example, the communication management hardware receives communications from a first wireless access point. In response to receiving the communications, the communication management hardware obtains wireless access point identity information associated with a user and/or a mobile communication device attempting to establish a wireless communication link with the wireless access point. Based on the wireless access point identity information, the communication management hardware produces a control decision associated with establishing the wireless communication link. The control decision indicates whether the first wireless access point should allow or deny establishment of the wireless communication link with the first wireless access point.

    摘要: According to one configuration, a wireless access service provider selects and assigns a particular authentication option amongst multiple different authentication options to an entity such as a wireless access point or a sub-network supported by the wireless access point. When a communication device attempts to use the corresponding wireless access point provided by the wireless access service provider, a wireless access gateway receives information from the wireless access point indicating the particular authentication option assigned to authenticate the communication device. The wireless access gateway communicates the notification of the particular authentication option to an authentication manager, which provides the wireless access gateway with network address information indicating a captive portal in which to authenticate the communication device. The wireless access gateway then uses the network address information to redirect the communication device to the captive portal, which is then used to authenticate the communication device. to access the Internet.
