How Netwall Expert unites PDO access points, subscriber devices, Central Registry verification, and UPI micro-billing into one synchronized workflow.
1. User Connects: A citizen or student in a village, market, or transit center selects the open PM-WANI SSID broadcasted by the PDO's access point.
2. App or Captive Portal Authentication: The user is auto-authenticated via any certified PM-WANI App or redirected to a responsive captive portal with Mobile OTP verification.
3. Token & Central Registry Handshake: The Netwall Expert PDOA platform validates the user token against C-DOT registry standards and checks for existing active roaming packages.
4. Instant Sachet Purchase: If needed, the user scans a UPI QR code to purchase an affordable sachet (e.g., 2GB for ₹10). Payment is confirmed instantly via webhooks.
5. Bandwidth Provisioned: Netwall RADIUS instructs the hotspot router to allocate high-speed, fair-share bandwidth while logging session parameters for regulatory IPDR compliance.
