Benefits of a Hosted Wi-Fi Hotspot Portal
The overall
benefit or goal of hosting a Wi-Fi hotspot at your location is being
able to offer high-speed wireless Internet access for your customers. In
addition to satisfying the needs of connectivity for your customers and
visitors, you and your staff can take advantage of having a powerful
media channel to reach out to your customers.
Other benefits of hosting a public Wi-Fi hotspot include:

- Create a private network for your own use
- Attract People to Your Location
Hosting
a Wi-Fi hotspot, in any type of business, should attract new people to
your location and entice them to return and stay longer. For retail
stores such as cafés and bookstores, this access helps fill empty seats.
For businesses such as hotels, having Wi-Fi Internet access available
for guests might be essential to prevent losing potential customers. If
you are in a transportation business like buses, taxis, trains or other
mobile operations having public WiFi available for you passengers is an
important part of your business.
Customers find WiFi hotspots in many ways, including these:
- Online directories
- Software directories
- Display signs
- Wi-Fi finders
- Laptop/PDAs
The
best way to attract users to your hotspot is to display signs
advertising that you have a hotspot at your location. These signs could
simply say "Wi-Fi Hotspot Here" or "Wireless Internet Access Available."
How do you control access and brand your WiFi Hotspots?
Each
WiFi Hotspot comes with a custom home page (portal) hosted in our
datacenter - which all users see when they open their web browser, and a
thank-you web page - which customers will see after they successfully
log in.
How Does it work?
When a user first
brings up their web browser they attempt to reach some particular web
page, typically their home page. The user's computer issues a DNS
("Domain Name Service") request to lookup the IP address of the
specified domain. The Access Controller "re-directs" the user's session
and returns the IP address of the login page on the our Captured Portal /
WiFi Access Portal server. No matter what domain a user tries to go to
they will be returned to the captured portal access page until the agree
to terms and setup there access account.
Why not sell advertising space on these pages to local or national businesses?
