CSP, the Central AC (Central Access Controller), working as unified cloud platform for centralized management and monitoring, it is the brain of ABLOOMY cloud Wi-Fi solution. It manages and monitors VSMs (Distributed AC devices), VAP equipment, Wi-Fi rules, security rules, network resources, the client’s roles and rights, and location and content service. CSP provides enterprises and ISPs with great convenience to access all the information about their clients and networks in real-time; based on this information, enterprises and ISPs only need to work on CSP platform to configure and adjust their networks and service instantly, sparing the need to travel around and touch any other network equipment. This facilitates enterprises and ISPs to create a new management model for user service and creates a new business model. Under CSP’s centralized management, VSM and VAP become truly plug-and-play, and the establishment and expansion of the network become very easy .Once the CSP is configured, ISPs and enterprises can gradually increase the number of VSMs and VAPs deployed based on need, and seamlessly expand Wi-Fi network without changing network architecture.
Client and device information is collected in CSP. ISPs use this information to provide users with customized services based on location, such as portal customization, and advertising push. The enterprise can use its employees’ location information to control their network access rights; this applies particularly to the network access control of the enterprise’s partners.
Cloud based central management makes leveled-account based management and network leasing possible. Under CSP’s management, it becomes very convenient for a network owner to create multiple virtual Wi-Fi networks, which can be managed and operated by different operators, to carry out the business of network leasing; the network owner can instantly lease a virtual network on demand, adjust network-wide resources in real-time, without the need to directly configure each VSM and VAP. This cloud based central management model creates an account for each virtual network user to facilitate their management of the network resources which they rent from the network owner; this account also makes it possible for them to manage the clients who only connect to their virtual network.
Based on the location information from clients’ logs on CSP, ABLOOMY’s Wi-Fi solution can meet the network audit requirements of the government. With ABLOOMY’s solution, the network auditing devices no longer need to be deployed at the network access layer. Client and device information is collected in CSP. ISPs use this information to provide users with customized services based on location, such as portal customization, and content push. An enterprise can use its employees’ location information to control their network access rights; this particularly applies to network access control of the enterprise with different partners.
In the mobile Internet environment, the clients of different ISPs often need to use cross-network services; CSP provides flexible interface to interact with different ISPs’ billing system.
