Abstract
Communication management hardware controls network access via generation and distribution of wireless access profiles. For example, the communication management hardware receives a network access request from first user equipment to use a network over an open SSID network. In response to detecting that the first user equipment operated by a non-subscriber is not yet authorized to use the network, such as because the first user equipment has not signed up for use of the network, the communication management hardware directs the first user equipment to a portal. The communication management hardware then communicates a wireless access profile to the first user equipment. In one arrangement, the wireless access profile is derived based on input from the first user equipment. The wireless access profile provides the first user equipment wireless access to the network via a secure SSID.
