SNAPguard
SNAPguard is the managed gateway that runs guest Wi-Fi. Stampede provisions and monitors it remotely, so the network stays reliable and the venue does not need a network engineer on site.
When you'd use it
It runs on every Guest Wi-Fi deployment. Read this to understand the box that carries the portal and how Stampede provisions and keeps it healthy for you.
How it behaves
SNAPguard is a managed gateway that sits inline on the venue’s network and carries the welcome screen, the guest network and the traffic to the internet. It works alongside the venue’s existing access points, and can adopt common controllers such as UniFi, Omada and Ruckus, so a venue rarely needs to replace its kit.
Stampede provisions and monitors it remotely over a secure link. From one console the team can see the box’s health and session logs, and firmware updates are pushed automatically. The guest and staff networks, bandwidth and firewall rules are covered in Networks and traffic. Because setup and monitoring are handled centrally, a venue meets its acceptable-use and logging obligations without a network engineer per site.
