We finally got our first contract to be the monopoly ISP for a small apartment complex, 52 units.

We are going to implement Omada wireless APs throughout the property. I attended a webinar of theirs last year where they talked about PPSK being the solution for this. A single SSID across the entire property and each tenant has their own unique password. If anyone has implemented this, I’ve got a few questions on how you did it and how successful it has been.

-The management company is going to offer three speed tiers. My understanding is that Omada can throttle the bandwidth based on PPSK. So I was thinking about programming each unit with 3 PPSKs and giving that entire list to the apartment manager. Depending on which speed the tenant chooses, the apartment manager will give the appropriate password to the tenant. Is this a sound strategy? I’m trying to eliminate my own management as much as possible.

-On the topic of speed throttling, If the tenant purchases a 100mb cheap Internet plan and I programmed that in Omada. Is each device connected to their PPSK going to get 100mb, or is the system smart enough to combine all of the devices using that same password and throttle all of them down to 100mb?

-For those of you that have implemented this approach for apartments, how successful has it been? We are charging the landlord, a pretty low price and allowing them to sell the Internet service to their tenants as part of the rent that the tenant pays. With this model, we are trying to eliminate Management on a daily basis of the network and let the management company do collections and and user support as much as possible. Have there been any issues or pitfalls with the system that you guys have run into?

Hello,

Despite the full channel name appearing in CPS, the radio only shows the first letter on the screen. Literally it has 2 lines on the screen...one showing "1" indicating channel 1, and the second line shows just "D" instead of the full channel name of "Direct". Is this a known issue or any ideas?

We are a VOIP carrier and looking to implement POTS in a box type services. Our client is looking for boxes similar to granite EPIK and Ooma boxes that have multiple POTS lines and Will accept multiple SIM cards and then do SIP connections over the Internet and output as Analog POTS lines. We can rig something up using grandstream ATAs and LTE modems, but those POTS in a Box solutions are so clean. Is anyone aware of any hardware that we can use with our service that competes with those products?
