XLN, a UK provider of phone, broadband, energy and card-processing services for more than 100,000 small businesses, needed a secure, scalable public Wi‑Fi solution that would let independent traders offer free Wi‑Fi without shared passwords and support rapid network growth and roaming. To meet that challenge XLN chose GlobalReach Technology’s Wi‑Fi AAA RADIUS and captive portal management platform to integrate with its existing infrastructure and deliver carrier‑grade guest access.

GlobalReach Technology implemented its centralized AAA/RADIUS and captive portal platform (with BSG Wireless roaming integration), enabling roaming, Passpoint, analytics and tiered services while providing an easy reporting interface. The solution scaled to support XLN’s rapid expansion—helping the operator pass 20,000 public hotspots and more than one million users—and is proven to handle billions of authentications, giving XLN the capacity and insights to continue growing the network.
