own splash page + vouchers = HOTSPOT FREE

CREATE A FREE HOTSPOT SYSTEM

We offer our HOTSPOT FREE™ solution for those, who would like to provide Wi-Fi Internet for free to their guests (FREE HOTSPOT).

How Does It Work?

• After installation of the router, guests can connect to the wireless network which appears as an open network in their Wi-Fi network list (as for example 'Hotspot Cafe').
• After connecting to your network, users open their favorite web browser and try to access the internet. But before they can see any websites, we forward them to your own Hotspot Start Page.




• On this page, which you can fully customize, you can show daily menus, offers, etc. Users can only continue if they enter a valid access code (Voucher).


• You will distribute Vouchers which are needed for identification (we send you the codes in advance).  With a valid access code your guest can use the internet for a given period of time to browse the web, send e-mails, make phone calls with Skype or anything else. You can determine the validity time of Vouchers.
  

HOTSPOT VOUCHERS

• Using Hotspot Vouchers to Limit Accesses.

  Though the system is free, it can only be accessed with valid access codes. This way you can prevent your neighbours from using your system unauthorized, thus making it much slower.
  
  When you subscribe to a Hotspot FREE service, we generate Voucher codes automatically. You can easily print Vouchers via the Internet using our tool which creates high quality PDF files in the Control Center. You can also export the codes in csv format and import them into the system of a hotel or cafe so you can print the codes onto the receipt.

• Tie-Up Sale.

  You can tie the access codes to consumption, give menus, orders etc. The codes are unique, and they are valid only for a given period of time e.g. 1 hour. This way you can avoid having people ordering one coffee and then using your network all day long.
  
  Also, by showing users your own personalized Start Page, you can invite people to your place. The Wi-Fi signal is broadcasted outside of the location too.

PERSONALIZED START PAGE

• Customized Captive Portal Solution

  Your Hotspot comes with built-in Start Page designs, we called it 'Skins'. You can choose from one of the built-in Skin options or you can create your own. You can customize all Skins further to include your logo, images, daily menus, etc. You can also you your customized pages to advertise your products or services, which can bring other people to your place.
  

OTHER FEATURES

• Control Center

  You can control and manage your Hotspot location from a centralized web interface. You can see which Vouchers have been activated, watch online users, login sessions with usage statistics, etc.

• Multi-Location Support

  You can add unlimited number of locations to your account (even the combination of pay-per use and free locations)







• Router Alert

  All routers send life signals to our servers hourly so we'll know whether your Hotspot is down or working correctly. We'll send you an alert email if we see something is wrong.

• Secondary Operators

  You can give limited permissions to the Staff so they can see information for a location which you grant access to. They can see the status of the routers, or check if a Voucher code has been used.
