A network environment includes multiple wireless access points and communication management hardware. The communication management hardware controls connectivity of a mobile communication device to the first wireless access point. For example, the communication management hardware receives communications from a first wireless access point. In response to receiving the communications, the communication management hardware obtains wireless access point identity information associated with a user and/or a mobile communication device attempting to establish a wireless communication link with the wireless access point. Based on the wireless access point identity information, the communication management hardware produces a control decision associated with establishing the wireless communication link. The control decision indicates whether the first wireless access point should allow or deny establishment of the wireless communication link with the first wireless access point.
