Generally available today, AI-Powered Cloud NAC replaces shared WiFi passwords with identity-based access for employees, contractors, and visitors - the first step toward Cloud4Wi's vision of an AI-driven access layer for the billions of robots, humanoids, AI agents, and IoT devices that will define the connected future.

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 7, 2026 / Cloud4Wi, a leader in AI-powered, cloud-based WiFi, today announced the general availability of AI-Powered Cloud NAC, a network access control solution that replaces the shared WiFi password with identity-based access powered by artificial intelligence. The launch is the first step toward a broader vision: an AI-driven secure access layer for mid-market and the next wave of robots, humanoids, AI agents, and IoT devices that will increasingly need secure network access at scale.

Today, most companies are not running a real WiFi access control policy - they are running a shared password. Personal laptops, contractor devices, and visitor connections all receive the same credentials, which never change and cannot be revoked for a single person, leaving no per-user accountability, no segmentation, and no audit trail. Traditional NAC solves this but demands on-premise RADIUS infrastructure, MDM enrollment, and multi-month projects most IT teams cannot justify.

AI-Powered Cloud NAC closes that gap. Instead of a shared secret, every person connects with their own corporate identity, signing in once with an existing Microsoft Entra ID or Google Workspace account. It runs entirely from the cloud on a company's existing WiFi - built on WPA3 Enterprise, Passpoint, and built-in cloud RADIUS - and is orchestrated by Hedy, Cloud4Wi's AI engine, which brings AI-powered configuration and troubleshooting: guiding setup, detecting network issues before users notice them, and proposing precise, actionable resolutions. The result deploys in hours, not months - and keeps running with far less manual effort.

"Every growing company eventually outgrows the shared WiFi password - and solving that is where we start. But this is about something much bigger. The next decade of enterprise networking will be defined not by how well we connect people, but by how intelligently we connect everything else: robots, AI agents, and IoT at scale. AI-Powered Cloud NAC is the first step, and Cloud4Wi is building the platform that makes this future possible," said Andrea Calcagno, CEO and Co-Founder at Cloud4Wi.

The bigger shift: secure access for every entity

Cloud4Wi's launch arrives as enterprise networks undergo a fundamental change. Increasingly, it is not only people who need secure WiFi access - autonomous mobile robots, humanoid platforms, AI agents running on edge machines, and billions of IoT devices all need to connect securely and at scale. Industry analysts expect these non-traditional entities to make up a rapidly growing share of the devices seeking enterprise WiFi access. Legacy access models built on shared passwords, captive portals, and manual, per-device onboarding cannot scale to meet them.

The answer is the same one Cloud4Wi delivers today: identity-based, AI-driven secure access built on WPA3 Enterprise for cryptographic strength, Passpoint for seamless automatic onboarding, and OpenRoaming for federated identity across networks. The foundation that retires the shared password for employees now is precisely the foundation that will onboard, segment, and govern millions of autonomous entities next - automatically, and at scale.

Availability

AI-Powered Cloud NAC is generally available today. It works with a company's existing WiFi infrastructure and identity provider and can be deployed in days. Companies can start a free trial or book a demo at cloud4wi.ai/products/cloud-network-access-control
