  • System and method for providing secure access to a wireless network
    Patent number: 9635497
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for controlling access by a portable electronic device (PED) to a wireless network. A near field communications (NFC) tag is affixed to each authorized PED. Each NFC tag is programmed to include an identification code for the associated portable electronic device. An NFC reader has an antenna that receives an information signal when the NFC tag on a PED is placed in close proximity to the antenna. The NFC reader also has an output for outputting the information contained within the information signal. An authorization module is coupled to the output of the NFC reader and to a router which controls access to the wireless network. The authorization module receives the information from the NFC reader and, if the information contains an identification code for a PED, configures the router to allow the PED having that identification code to access the wireless network.
