People already expect they are going to get a WiFi service whenever they go. However, providing a WiFi internet service comes with challenges.
Guest Internet's 12-point plan offers a comprehensive approach to enhance your WiFi service, ensuring security, performance, and value for your business.
This plan is ideal for all types of businesses: hotels, motels, resorts, hostels, accommodations, campgrounds, glamping, RV parks, holiday parks, caravan parks, motorhomes but also marinas, coffee houses, restaurants, office and apartment buildings, home owner associations, libraries, events, shows and much more!
The following 12-point plan enables businesses to deliver exceptional WiFi service, while Guest Internet WiFi controllers offer the flexibility needed for hospitality business owners and different businesses to tailor their WiFi solutions to meet specific requirements.
1. Authorize access for optimal performance and control
Open access WiFi can quickly become overwhelmed, leading to slow speeds for all users, which results in complaints. Guest Internet WiFi controllers implement an authorization system to ensure only that only authorized guests with personalized WiFi access codes can access your network. This helps maintain service quality and prevents unauthorized users from hogging bandwidth, which is quite common in other types of WiFi services.
2. Set specific data speed limits and specify how long people can stay connected
Without proper management, a single high-bandwidth user can significantly degrade the experience for everyone else, preventing other people from staying connected or even logging in. Establish fair usage policies by setting data speed limits for all users. With Guest Internet WiFi controllers you can determine how each user will make use of the WiFi access codes. This ensures fair access and prevents any single user from monopolizing the connection.
3. Implement data caps for cost control
If your Internet service provider (ISP) charges based on data usage, consider implementing data limits for users with a Guest Internet WiFi controller to avoid incurring higher ISP bills for your business. The Guest Internet WIFi controllers manage costs efficiently while still providing a valuable service to your guests.
4. Block potential abuses in your WiFi Internet service
As the WiFi service provider, your business may be liable for illegal activities on your network. Guest Internet controllers offer robust content filtering and activity monitoring, allowing you to prevent access to prohibited websites and illegal file sharing. This not only protects your business legally but also optimizes bandwidth usage, ensuring a more efficient and secure WiFi experience for all users.
5. Boost speed with multiple ISP connections when connected to a Guest Internet WiFi controller
For businesses that require higher bandwidths, consider aggregating multiple ISP connections. This can be easily done with Guest Internet GIS-R6, GIS-R10, GIS-R20 and GIS-R40. This not only increases overall speed but also provides redundancy in case one connection fails, which means that if one Internet connection stops working, it will automatically connect to the one that is.
6. Protect your WiFi service against DDoS viruses
Virus-infected devices can severely degrade your network performance and disrupt WiFi service, potentially damaging customer relationships and the business reputation. To maintain a high-quality experience, businesses offering WiFi should implement robust security measures. Guest Internet controllers automatically detect and prevent devices with DDoS viruses from accessing your network. This proactive approach ensures infected devices don't compromise other users' experiences, helping to maintain customer satisfaction and protect your business reputation.
7. Isolate your business WiFi network from the public WiFi
Protect your critical business infrastructure by creating a clear separation between your public WiFi and internal networks. Guest Internet WiFi controllers prevent potential security breaches and keeps your sensitive data safe.
8. Leverage WiFi login to promote your business with Guest Internet WiFi controllers
Turn your WiFi login page into a marketing tool. Use this space to advertise your services or services from business partners, make special announcements, promote special offers and more.
9. With Guest Internet controllers, you'll receive real time alerts if any issues arise in your WiFi service.
The WiFi controllers notify you of any issues with your WiFi service about network components that fails. Proactive monitoring allows you to address problems quickly, minimizing downtime and maintaining customer satisfaction.
10. Utilize the cloud based analytics to gain more insight about your WiFi service.
Take advantage of the free cloud service Guest Internet offers to gain insights into your WiFi usage. Access this information and make changes when necessary from anywhere to make data driven decisions about your service offerings.
11. Optimize network management using VLANs
Instead of maintaining separate physical networks for guests and staff, use the Guest Internet WiFi controllers virtual LANs (VLANs) to create logical separations on a single network. This simplifies management while maintaining security.
12. Consider monetization options to offer personalized WiFi Internet access
For businesses looking to offset costs or create a new revenue stream, explore options with the Guest Internet WiFi controllers and charge for premium WiFi access. Guest Internet controllers accept credit card payments, payments via PayPal or voucher sales for tiered service levels.
