Business drivers

Wi-Fi services are nowadays widely available to inexperienced users. Providing a Wi-Fi service to the mass market has the following obstacles:

  • Only experienced users are able to set up a Wi-Fi connection manually.
  • Hotspot landing pages are confusing and differ across the service providers.
  • Individual customer support is too expensive.
  • End users are reluctant to use the service as manual hotspot authentication is time consuming.

Wi-Fi Connection Explorer solves all the above issues and so it brings additional revenue by extending the customer base. It allows savings on customer support and increases customer loyalty. It also provides additional brand visibility as the software is customizable for specific service provider brand.
