PPSK: automated, per-user WiFi access

PPSK assigns a unique WiFi password to every user or device instead of one password everyone shares. If a key is compromised or a person leaves, you revoke just that key without disrupting anyone else. Each key can carry its own network policy, improving both security and control.

PPSK suits residents and employees who want simple, secure access without complex authentication, long-term guests who need password-based access, and headless devices like printers, IoT sensors, and smart appliances that lack a browser to log in. Each gets its own revocable key and policy.

The user selects the network SSID and enters their assigned key; Cloud4Wi authenticates it and applies the right policies. Administrators create, assign, schedule, and revoke keys centrally from the cloud platform — setting expiration dates or instantly cutting off a lost device without affecting other users.

Cisco iPSK and Aruba MPSK are powerful but tied to their own hardware — iPSK typically needs Cisco ISE, and MPSK runs on Aruba gear. Cloud4Wi PPSK is vendor-agnostic, cloud-managed across mixed networks, and adds end-user self-service, scheduling, billing, and personal-network orchestration on top.

You don't need to stand up your own RADIUS server — Cloud4Wi PPSK includes a built-in RADIUS server, so authentication is handled for you. The platform is hardware-agnostic and integrates with many WiFi brands, letting you deploy unique per-user keys across your existing access points with no rip-and-replace or extra infrastructure to manage.

In multi-tenant and student housing, every resident needs private, secure access on one shared network. PPSK gives each a unique key that segments their devices into a personal network, supports move-in-ready self-onboarding, and lets staff schedule or revoke access per unit — without touching anyone else's connection.
