Executive Summary
The Challenge
Local network operators needed a frictionless system to monetize public Wi-Fi zones without manual voucher generation or delayed handshakes.
The Solution
We engineered a custom Next.js portal integrated with MikroTik RouterOS via API/RADIUS, automating real-time session provisioning upon successful M-Pesa payment validation.
