A flexible, legally compliant captive portal in a few clicks.

Yes. The Captive Portal connects to existing systems and external data sources through open interfaces. Operators can centrally embed and display content like passenger information, content feeds, contact options, or other service elements in the portal. That reduces manual maintenance, prevents silo setups, and ensures the portal fits cleanly into existing operational and IT landscapes.

The Unwired Captive Portal is designed to fully meet the data protection, security, and accessibility requirements common in public transport. Personal data is processed in line with GDPR, so the entire sign-on and connection process stays transparent and secure for passengers.

For accessibility, the portal meets the WCAG Level AA guidelines. Passengers with different needs can use the service without restrictions.

Communication between vehicle devices and Unwired Edge Cloud is encrypted end to end. The platform itself is operated under ISO 9001 and ISO 27001, which establishes a high standard for information security and quality management.

Operators can deploy the portal reliably in environments with clear legal and industry-specific requirements, while staying compliant with all relevant standards.

The Unwired Captive Portal draws on the comprehensive telemetry infrastructure in Unwired Edge Cloud. Operators get detailed visibility into passenger Wi-Fi usage — session duration, data consumption, user activity, and connection quality across the entire fleet. Device status, SIM performance, and available uplinks are continuously monitored too, so the system state is transparent at any moment.

The telemetry is based on open standards like OpenTelemetry and Prometheus. That lets operators analyze and visualize data flexibly. Dashboards can be built entirely in-house, or developed jointly with Unwired — whichever fits the operations or IT team’s requirements.

This standards-based approach delivers clear, adaptable analytics tools that help keep in-vehicle connectivity stable and reliable.

The Unwired Captive Portal is fully integrated with the certified vehicle hardware managed through Unwired Edge Cloud. Devices connect to the platform automatically, so the portal can be set up, updated, and maintained centrally — with no on-site work required.

Design and content changes are distributed over the air to every vehicle. Operators keep full flexibility: an entire fleet can share one portal, individual vehicle groups can get their own variants, and specific buses or trains can be assigned a unique portal if needed. Rollouts work globally or at very fine granularity.

Combined with cloud-based device management — for firmware, connectivity, and applications — this integration ensures every vehicle always serves the correct, up-to-date version of the passenger portal.

The Unwired Captive Portal is fully customizable through a graphical editor. Operators can build multi-page portals and add a wide range of elements — passenger information, live maps, emergency buttons, support forms, or other interactive components.

External data sources can also be integrated to display dynamic content like real-time service information or partner notices directly in the portal. All changes happen centrally in Unwired Edge Cloud, so layouts, features, and additional components can be added at any time without coding effort.

The portal meets WCAG Level AA requirements and supports multi-language content. The result is an accessible, clear, easy-to-use Wi-Fi entry experience for every passenger.

The Unwired Captive Portal is ready to use within minutes. As soon as the in-vehicle device connects to Unwired Edge Cloud, the portal can be activated and customized through the cloud interface. Colors, logos, and layout are adjusted centrally — no coding, no extra tools. All changes propagate immediately across the entire fleet.

This rapid setup lets operators deliver a consistent, professional Wi-Fi experience for passengers — without major effort and without external development resources.
