Job Title: Develop Hotel Captive Portal, RADIUS, MikroTik & PMS-Based Wi-Fi Management Software

Job Title: Develop Hotel Captive Portal, RADIUS, MikroTik & PMS-Based Wi-Fi Management Software Project Overview Infomac IT Solutions, an IT and managed Wi-Fi service provider in India, is looking for an experienced freelancer or small development team to build our own branded, commercial hotel Wi-Fi management platform. The system should offer capabilities comparable to hospitality Wi-Fi platforms such as Nomadix, 24online and ANTlabs. We need working software—not just a website, mockup or login page. The platform must be secure, scalable and modular. Submit a technical/commercial proposal with milestones. CORE FEATURES 1. Captive Portal and Guest Login - Hotel-specific branding, logo, background, terms/privacy notice and landing page; responsive on mobile, tablet and laptop. - OTP login through an SMS gateway. - Coupon/voucher login with validity controls. - Username/password login. - Hotel room number and guest surname login. - PMS-based guest authentication, subject to supported interface access. - Complimentary access and configurable login methods per property. - Session/idle timeout, logout, renewal, device limits, bandwidth limits and manual disconnection. - Walled-garden access where supported; login and failure logs. 2. Hotel PMS Integration Our first priority is IDS/IDS Next PMS, subject to official API/interface documentation, vendor authorization and any required licensing. - Validate room/surname/check-in status and associate sessions with guest/room references. - Sync check-in, checkout, room changes/extensions where supported; disconnect Wi-Fi at checkout. - Integration status, logs, retries, timeout/error alerts, secure credentials and authorized manual fallback. - Modular connectors for future PMS products. Identify vendor approvals, middleware, interface limitations and extra fees; do not assume every PMS supports every function. 3. RADIUS Server (AAA) Integrate FreeRADIUS or another suitable, proven RADIUS solution. - AAA, RADIUS client/NAS management and secure shared secrets. - User/group policies, bandwidth profiles, timeouts and simultaneous-session limits. - Accounting Start/Interim-Update/Stop, usage tracking where available, active sessions and error history. - Disconnect/CoA where supported; checkout/admin-triggered disconnection. - Health monitoring and redundancy options. Show users, session duration, available device details, policies, usage and failures. 4. MikroTik Gateway Integration MikroTik is a priority for the first release. Support must be validated against specified RouterOS versions and hardware. - HotSpot, RADIUS, user policies, bandwidth/time limits and session disconnection. - MAC/device restrictions, firewall and guest VLAN separation where supported. - Gateway status, uptime, resources and WAN monitoring. - Multi-WAN load balancing, automatic failover, health checks, configurable failback and outage alerts. - Secure configuration management and backup/restore. Features must work on the actual supported hardware, not just appear in the dashboard. Include a demonstration/test plan. 5. MAC Address, Website and Bandwidth Controls - View available MAC/IP details; block/unblock devices, disconnect sessions and keep logs/allowlists. - Website/domain block/allowlists and walled-garden rules, where technically possible. - Basic/Standard/Premium/VIP profiles; speed limits, quotas and concurrent-device limits where supported. - Different guest/staff/conference/VIP policies. Explain randomized MAC, HTTPS and encrypted-DNS limitations. Enforce policies through network components, not just the dashboard. 6. Managed Wi-Fi and OEM Support We may deploy MikroTik, Aruba, Ruckus, Cisco, TP-Link Omada, D-Link, Syrotech and other network brands. - Central gateway/AP inventory; online/offline status, uptime and client counts where supported. - SSID/VLAN/policy management, guest/internal separation, bandwidth controls and device monitoring where supported. - Alerts, diagnostics, backups and change history. Use an adapter-based design and provide an OEM compatibility matrix covering supported features, APIs/controllers, firmware limits and licence costs. Do not claim unsupported functions. 7. Central Dashboard and Reports Dashboard: hotel groups/properties, gateway/AP status, connected users and sessions, authentication statistics, bandwidth/data usage where available, hotel/date/room reports, RADIUS accounting, PMS errors, WAN/failover events, device blocks, alerts and audit logs. Include filters by hotel/date/room/user/device and CSV/Excel export plus PDF where needed. Use real collected data, not hardcoded values. 8. Multi-Hotel / Multi-Tenant Management Support a central Infomac Super Admin managing multiple hotel groups and properties, with individual hotel administrators. - Role-based access; separate branding, PMS settings, gateways, users and policies per property. - Central overview, property reports/alerts and strict tenant data isolation. - Add hotels without installing separate applications. Example hierarchy: Infomac Super Admin > Hotel Group > Property > Gateway/AP > SSID/Guest Network > Guest Sessions. 9. Security, Architecture and Deployment Use HTTPS/TLS, secure APIs/secrets, role-based access, MFA for privileged users, input validation, rate limiting, secure sessions, audit logs, backups/recovery, database protection and guest-data retention/deletion controls. Follow applicable Indian data protection requirements. Propose architecture for dashboard, portal, backend/API, database, RADIUS, PMS/OEM connectors, monitoring and reports. Specify stack, hosting, capacity, availability, backup plan and any local component needed during internet outages. 10. Development Phases Phase 1: Requirements, architecture/UI design, IDS PMS feasibility and MikroTik/RADIUS validation. Phase 2: Multi-hotel dashboard, captive portal, login methods, RADIUS AAA/accounting, MikroTik integration and basic reports. Phase 3: IDS/IDS Next connector, room authentication, checkou
