ISE and Central Web Auth Guest Users with SMS Gateway providers in China

[keitwils]

I hear from my customer, global Pharma company that new laws are coming in January 2017 that require all guest wireless access to be authorised.

They intend to use ISE with APs that are FlexConnect and Mobility Express controlled.  They have ISE 2.1 at this time in a global cluster for Corporate Wireless Acces

1. Does anyone have a list of SMS gateway providers that would work in China and could be applied globally?
2. Does FlexConnect and Mobility Express work of with CWA on ISE. We dont want to put a WLC on all sites, hence FlexConnect
3. Can we use PSN centrally in a country for that countries access control.  We have regionalised PSNs, US, EMEA and APAC and sites would use the closest ones to them

Thanks in anticipation

Lots of questions here best to separate them out so you can get the correct answers in an efficient format, a laundry list of questions that aren’t relevant to each other doesn’t work well

1. Does anyone have a list of SMS gateway providers that would work in China and could be applied globally?

JAK – someone else may but again good to separate it, here is a list of ones that we have guides for

JAK – flexconnect works with CWA redirect, mobility express doesn’t support CWA or even COA currently, best to ask that team

JAK yes you can deploy clusters of PSNs
