AUTOMATIC DETECTION OF VIP GUESTS ON WIRELESS NETWORKS

摘要

The present disclosure discloses a method and network device for automatic detection of VIP guests on wireless networks. The network device can receive a request for network access, by a client device used by a guest user, at a location associated with an entity. Furthermore, the network device can identify characteristics of a sponsor of the guest user, the sponsor being associated with the entity; and/or email domain for the guest user; and/or characteristics of a particular check-in station at which the guest user checked in for access at the location associated with the entity. The network device then determines a set of one or more characteristics of the network access by the client device used by the guest user, and provides the client device used by the guest user network access per the determined set of characteristics of the network access.
