RansNet HotSpot Gateway (HSG) can integrate with many hotel PMS systems to authenticate guest Wi-Fi access using their room number and last name. This offers great convenient for hotel guest without having to remember or keep some randomly generated password. There are several options to integrate HSG with hotel PMS (for any PMS software)

Costly option (license cost from PMS vendor)

1. Opera PMS. HSG integrates with Oracle Hospitality PMS Interface via FIAS protocol. This automatically imports guest check-in/check-out records into HSG local RADIUS database for Wi-Fi captive portal authentication. NOTE: this usually will cost money from PMS vendor for the licensing fee.

FREE options

1. Configure PMS (usually done by system integrator) to export guest check in/out records (in xml files) to mbox HSG, and HSG will parse the xml files and insert data into HSG RADIUS database
2. Configure PMS to export guest check in/out records to an FTP server in csv files, and HSG will periodically (eg. every 5 mins) auto pickup the csv files and parse the data into HSG RADIUS database.
3. Customize PMS (a bit of development work) to use mbox OpenAPI to directly insert/edit guest check-in/out records into HSG database.

Another FREE alternative is to use our GMC with POS printer to issue guest Wi-Fi voucher.

Integrating PMS through FTP

Most hotel PMS can periodically export out guest check-in/out records to external FTP server, then HSG will periodically pickup the records and update into local authentication database for captive portal login.
