Industries
Every estate's WiFi fits on three SSIDs
The mix changes by industry. The model does not: open for guests, secure for everyone you trust, xPSK for everything else.
Phones, laptops, tills, CCTV and TVs join through your access point. Cloud RADIUS checks each one and sends it to the open, secure or xPSK network by identity, each on its own VLAN; a leaver whose account is disabled is rejected.
