CraftWANI · WiFi & Public Access

Enterprise WiFi,
public access, one platform.

CraftWANI manages enterprise WiFi networks by experience goals — coverage, client quality, guest onboarding — and runs fully compliant PM-WANI public access, with captive portal, RADIUS/RADSEC, eKYC and IPDR built in.

Assurance powered by Ritam (our AIOps engine); on-prem and sovereign like the rest of the portfolio.

The problem

WiFi is managed by complaints; public access by paperwork.

Enterprise WiFi quality is chased after users complain, and PM-WANI public access is run as a compliance maze. Both should be managed to a declared goal, not reconstructed after the fact.

Dead zones
found by ticket
Coverage gaps surface as help-desk complaints, not from RF telemetry.
Peak-hour
density
Client experience drops when a room fills; sticky clients, no per-client view.
Guest
friction
Onboarding is clunky, captive portals break, and policy is set by hand.
PM-WANI
paperwork
eKYC, IPDR and C-DOT interop are treated as a compliance burden, not a product.
Experience and compliance are both goals. Coverage, client quality and guest onboarding — and IPDR, eKYC and registry interop — can all be declared, measured and held true.
The thesis

WiFi by experience goals — compliance by design.

You declare the experience the WiFi must deliver and the compliance the public access must hold. CraftWANI measures both, steers the network toward the goal, and keeps the paperwork current automatically.

Reactive — by complaint
Goal-driven — by design
Dead zones found by help-desk tickets
Coverage & client experience tracked as goals
Peak-hour density degrades silently
Airtime/load predicted, APs steered before drops
Guest onboarding is clunky and manual
Captive portal + eKYC — onboard in seconds
PM-WANI compliance is a manual burden
IPDR, eKYC and C-DOT interop built in, always current
“With you in command.” RF and policy steering run autonomously to hold the experience; config change and public-access provisioning are approved.
The platform

Two jobs, one platform.

The WiFi you run internally and the public access you offer — managed from one place, on one on-prem stack.

Enterprise

WiFi network management

AP & controller management — multi-vendor
RF & coverage — channel, power, interference
Client experience — roaming, throughput, auth success
Guest & policy — per-user, per-role

PM-WANI

Compliant by design, not by scramble.

The parts of public WiFi that are usually a compliance headache — identity, records and registry interop — are built into the platform and kept current automatically.

PDOA / PDO

Operate as a PDO Aggregator or run your own hotspots — onboarding, auth and accounting handled end-to-end.

eKYC & IPDR

User verification at first connect; IPDR session records generated and retained — lawful, complete, audit-ready.

C-DOT registry

Native interop with the WANI Central Registry — discovery, provider identity and the WANI RSA/AES exchange.

Monetization

Vouchers, time/data plans and payment-app integration — turn public WiFi into a service, not a cost.

The compliance is the product. eKYC, IPDR completeness and C-DOT interop are held as goals — so an audit is a report, not a project.
The capstone

Declare the goals. Own the experience — and the compliance.

Coverage, client experience and guest onboarding on the enterprise side; IPDR completeness and availability on the public side — all tracked continuously, with Ritam pre-empting anything drifting toward breach.

Powered by Ritam

The WiFi tunes itself.

CraftWANI’s assurance is the Ritam AIOps engine (DarkNOC), running WATCH→DX→PLAN→ACT across the WLAN — predicting congestion and interference and steering the network before users feel it.

WATCH

Sense every AP & client

Coverage, airtime, roaming, auth success and session state — enterprise and public, on-prem.

DX

Predict & diagnose

TSLAM4b flags an AP trending to saturation or an RF interference source; ARGUS names the cause in <60s.

PLAN

Decide the safe fix

Channel/power change, band or client steering, load balance — with policy and blast-radius checks.

ACT

Act & learn

Applied across multi-vendor APs on approval, fully logged — then verified and learned.

Multi-vendor & standards

Native across your WiFi estate.

One console over multi-vendor access points and PM-WANI roles — including MatreComm’s own OpenWrt captive-portal firmware for PDO hotspots.

Access points

Autonomous execution — RF and policy steering — on approval; public-access provisioning and compliance records governed and audited.

One engine underneath it all.

CraftWANI’s assurance is Ritam — the same engine that runs private 5G (CraftTWIN), carrier networks (CraftWorld) and the enterprise estate (CraftUnify).
