Public status page

Overview

The Public Status Page is a feature designed to enhance customer experience by providing them with easy access to their WiFi usage statistics, active vouchers, and historical voucher information. When customers connect to the WiFi network, they will receive an SMS with a link to the status page, where they can authorize themselves and gain access to relevant information about their account and usage.
