Offering WiFi to customers or clients is a great way to generate good will. If you serve clients at your premises, not offering WiFi access (especially if mobile data is poor in the area) could be the difference between a new client visiting you or your competitor down the road.
Offering Paid WiFi takes a lot of the responsibility out of your hands, the WiFi provider will take care of many of the WiFi provisions. However, provider free WiFi via your own broadband could offer more options, both in terms of capturing marketing information and of presenting your services via a logon page.
It’s so ubiquitous that being out away from your known networks, people expect to be able to get onto a WiFi connection. There are a number of companies that will supply WiFi via pay-per-go service providers, and more still that offer free WiFi access to their customers. As a business, choosing to open up your broadband internet connection to offer WiFi to your customers makes sense, it gives you the opportunity to have a landing page to advertise to your clients, the possibility to collect marketing information such as name and emails, and good will from your customers who know you offer WiFi access. But there are obvious security concerns that need taking care of, such as securing access to your business computers, making sure your business has priority access over clients, and making sure your clients are not using your network connection for illegal purposes.
As a user, accessing free WiFi is very tempting, but is it secure? You need to know that your connection is not being snooped upon or changed without your knowing.
We can assess your needs and provide you with the client WiFi access that suits your business model.
