WeChat

"WeChat Connects Wi-Fi" is a solution that allows clients to authenticate to a wireless LAN easily using a WeChat login instead of a username/password.

The solution also allows business owners to easily serve advertisements to visitors, enabling convenient monetization of their Wi-Fi service.

The RUCKUS WeChat WLAN implementation supports the WeChat mobile app only; the desktop version is not supported, nor are smart phones without the WeChat app (web browser login is not supported).
