ALCASAR is positioned between the consultation network and the ISP box. It is based on about twenty free softwares in order to constitute an authenticating secure captive portal. All theses softwares are included in a standard PC. This portal is completely independant both from equipments provided by the ISP and from consultation network technologies (WIFI, PLC, Ethernet, etc.). An installation and update procedure has been created in order to be able to deploy it easily.
