Abstract

A number of wireless networks are established by a network device, each wireless network having an identifier. Requests are received from client devices to establish wireless network sessions via the wireless networks using the identifiers. Network privileges of the client devices are segmented into discrete security interfaces based on the identifier used to establish each wireless network session.

Claims

1. A method for providing wireless network functionality, comprising:

establishing, by a network device, a number of wireless networks, each network having an identifier;

receiving requests, at the network device, from client devices to establish wireless network sessions via the wireless networks using the identifiers; and

segmenting network privileges of the client devices into discrete interfaces based on the identifier used to establish each wireless network session.
