CSP5000
Working with a group of distributed Edge Controllers (VSM), the CSP is the cloud controller of Abloomy’s private cloud solution, empowered by our Smart-Edge technology. By pushing cloud-managed functions to Edge Controllers (VSM), it provides customers with end-to-end solutions that enable them to keep up with the trend of digital transformation in the age of cloud computing. These cloud-managed functions include WiFi, routing, NAT, firewalls, NAC, and etc. In WiFi application scenarios, CSP provides one-stop solutions which cover network management and optimization, security, portal, authentication and WiFi marketing functions.
With the distributed architecture of CSP and VSM, Abloomy provides customers with large-capacity and cross-regional networks. Plug-and-play devices simplify deployment and setup, deep visibility and self-optimization guarantee networks performance and stability, and role-based network access control and anti-attack functions ensure security. CSP also offers abundant WiFi marketing tools.
Highlights
Plug-and-Play
Both Abloomy APs and VSMs support zero-touch provisioning. When an AP or VSM registers in the cloud platform, the platform will push predefined configurations to the device, avoiding on-site work.
Scalable Network Architecture
Abloomy adapts a distributed WiFi network architecture based on our Smart-Edge technology, creating a flexible, modularized management system for both network functions and applications. The distributed VSM layer can be scaled seamlessly and automatically creates N+N redundancy backups.
RF Channel Optimization
Interference in WLAN radio affects AP’s normal operation. The Abloomy platform optimizes AP’s radio allocation through adaptive channel selection, avoiding interference from neighboring APs.
Seamless Roaming
The Abloomy centralized architecture easily allows roaming. The CSP series controller supports roaming across subnets without re-authentication.
Multiple Authentication Methods
Multiple authentication methods are included, such as Facebook, Google+, 802.1X, username and password, non-authentication, automatic authentication and more. After the first SMS/Social media authentication, subsequent access does not require authentication, which not only improves the user experience, but also saves on SMS expenses.
URL Access Control
The VSM can capture and filter browsed URL information based on firewall policies from the CSP.
Role Based Access Control
Role based access control is the main advantage of Abloomy products. The platform can define different levels of access roles and authorize differentiated services for the users.
Flexible Data Forwarding
Based on the policies, the data forwarding can be done either locally by AP or centrally by VSM.
Ads and Content Operation
Abundant portal templates are available for customers to customize their ad page. The customer can use single page or multi-page portals to present more information.
By caching content locally, customers can save bandwidth by embedding content URL links in the portal page
and enabling their Wi-Fi users to locally access videos, articles, and apps, creating a much better user experience. Meanwhile, the backend system will record statistics on viewed and downloaded content to better understand user preferences and fine-tune marketing strategies.
Social Media Operation
Social media integration improves the interactions and relationships between businesses and customers, building up long-term marketing strategies.
