Net Intellect, network specialists based in Worcester and a new member of Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce, has published five free guides for businesses that offer WiFi to customers and guests.
The guides answer the questions the team hears most from cafés, pubs, hotels and shops: why WiFi slows down when a venue is busy, what a captive portal (the sign-in page guests see) actually does, what a business WiFi installation costs, whether UniFi’s built-in guest portal is enough, and how UK data protection and electronic marketing rules apply when a venue collects email addresses through its WiFi.
“Joining the Chamber was about meeting the businesses on our doorstep,” said Savell Martin, founder of Net Intellect. “Plenty of them offer WiFi to customers and ask us the same few questions, so we wrote the answers down and made them free to read.”
Net Intellect designs, installs and supports business WiFi and networks on UniFi across Worcestershire, Herefordshire, the West Midlands and the Cotswolds. It also builds branded guest WiFi sign-in pages where the marketing consent box starts unticked and guests can connect without giving an email address.
