What do I need to start a hotspot business?
A reliable internet connection, hotspot routers and access points, a billing system and a location with enough potential users. We advise on all of it and set it up end to end.
How do customers pay?
Customers choose a package on your login page and pay through an M-Pesa prompt on their phone. Once payment is confirmed, they are connected automatically. Vouchers are also supported.
Can I set different packages and prices?
Yes. You can create hourly, daily, weekly or monthly packages with their own prices, speeds and device limits, and change them at any time.
How many users can one hotspot support?
It depends on your internet bandwidth and the equipment used. We size the setup to the number of users you expect and can expand as you grow.
Can I manage the hotspot remotely?
Yes. You can see active users, sales and system status from your phone or computer, and we can support you remotely.
Are there regulations I should know about?
Depending on the size and nature of your hotspot business, licensing or registration requirements may apply. We will point you to the relevant requirements during planning.
