Systems and methods are described for a mobile hotspot that can be managed from an access controller. According to an embodiment, a mobile establishes a wide area network (WAN) connection through a wireless WAN module and establishes a wireless local area network (WLAN) connection with a wireless fidelity (WiFi)-enabled device using a first wireless access point (AP) profile, wherein the first AP profile is also used for multiple APs of an enterprise that are controlled by an access controller (AC). The mobile hotspot sets up a secure tunnel with the AC through the WAN connection. After receiving WLAN traffic from the WiFi-enabled device through the WLAN connection, the WLAN traffic is transmitted to the AC through the secure tunnel.
