WiFi That Just Works - No Logins Required
Remember how your phone automatically connects to cell towers? That's what Passpoint does for WiFi. Your guests walk in, their devices connect, and they're online in seconds. No passwords, no login screens, no frustrated calls to IT.
Starting at $13/access point/month · Works across multiple locations · SOC 2 Compliant · Includes OpenRoaming
Why Are Big Companies Making the Switch?
Because captive portals are driving everyone crazy. Here's what changes with Passpoint.
The Old Way (Captive Portals)
- Takes 30-60 seconds just to get online
- Fill out forms, enter passwords, accept terms...
- Breaks WiFi Calling and video calls
- IT gets flooded with "WiFi doesn't work" tickets
- Open network = security nightmares
- Guests get frustrated before they even start
The Passpoint Way
- Connected in seconds - they won't even notice
- Nothing to do - it's completely automatic
- WiFi Calling just works - finally!
- Way fewer support tickets - IT will thank you
- Rock-solid WPA3 security - no open networks
- Happy guests - what a concept!
Bonus: OpenRoaming is Included
Your users don't just connect at your locations - they'll automatically connect at 3 million+ hotspots worldwide. Coffee shops, airports, partner offices, coworking spaces... all with the same seamless experience.
What Makes IronWiFi Different?
We've made enterprise WiFi refreshingly simple
It Just Connects
No login screens, no passwords to type, no apps to download. Devices connect on their own.
Seriously Secure
WPA2/WPA3-Enterprise encryption with certificate-based 802.1X authentication. No more open networks.
Works Everywhere
Through OpenRoaming, your users connect automatically at 3M+ hotspots around the world.
Every Device Works
iPhones, Android phones, Windows laptops, Macs, Chromebooks - they all support Passpoint natively.
How Does It Actually Work?
Think of Passpoint like your phone's cellular connection. Your phone doesn't ask you to log in every time it finds a cell tower - it just connects. Passpoint does the same thing for WiFi.
One-Time Setup
The device gets a Passpoint profile (through your MDM, our self-service portal, or manual install). This happens once and takes about a minute.
Device Spots the Network
When the device comes within range, it automatically recognizes trusted Passpoint networks - no user action needed.
Connects Securely
Behind the scenes, the device and network verify each other's identity. The whole connection is encrypted - way more secure than open WiFi.
Roam Freely
Walk between buildings, visit a partner office, stop at a coffee shop - the device keeps connecting automatically wherever Passpoint is available.
Why You'll Love It
Truly Effortless
No login screens, no picking networks, no typing passwords.
Bank-Level Security
Every connection is encrypted with certificates - no more open networks.
