  • Patent number: 10630691
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques provide for implementing community wireless communications service. In some embodiments, a network gateway device might receive, from a user device via a customer gateway device, a first request for wireless access to a network. If it determines that the user device is unassociated with the customer associated with customer gateway, the network gateway might send a second request with an identifier of the user device to a WiFi server, which might generate and send a login user interface (“UI”) to the user device. The user might send a response including a unique identifier, which the WiFi server might include in an access request to an authentication server. If authenticated by the authentication server, the WiFi server might send a care-of address (“COA”) request to the network gateway, which assigns the COA to the user device and provides the user device with wireless access to the network.
