Hotspot Free Social

While giving out free Wi-Fi, you can Promote your own Facebook Page, get new "Check-Ins" and social recommendations from your customers. This increases your business' visibility, customer engagement and sales.

New "Check-Ins" means more engaged users. According to Facebook the average user has 130 friends who can also see your business once their friend checks in. That means, depending on the number of fans you have, multiplied by the number of friends they have, your content could achieve wide viral syndication.

.

After connecting to your Wi-Fi network, customers are forwarded to your own splash page. Based on your setup, they may have to check-in to your place before they can use the internet for free. A message can also be posted on their walls in the background,like “Enjoying free internet @ Starducks Cafe, great! :)”.

There is no need to set up a password and spell it for your customers. This can save valuable time for your staff. The check-in mechanism is fully automatic and also optimized for mobile devices.

For those who don't want to use Facebook or don't have a Facebook account, you can offer alternative ways to log in. You can capture data, like e-mail, give voucher codes, or have them request a voucher code automatically via SMS.

Each Wi-Fi user can have limited bandwidth. This way you can avoid having your Wi-Fi overloaded by one massive download. You can also see the names and faces of your user and you can blacklist any user any time.

The analytics component of your Facebook Page, called Insights, provides detailed data on fan activity, as well as demographic information such as age, gender and geographic location, all of which can be important for the purposes of market research.

We support many hardware and firmware which you can use to run the client software directly. It will communicate with our web, database and radius servers and handle redirection and authentication.

You can also use your existing hardware and network if you put a hotspot gateway device behind your network. This can also be a supported router or even a PC. In this case you don't need to change your existing configuration to make it compatible with out system, you only need to add one more device.
