Secure and flexible WiFi hotspots for your city, municipality & community

City WiFi: Secure and flexible WiFi hotspots for your city, municipality & local area
Our diverse WiFi offering for cities and municipalities includes the provision of high-performance WiFi infrastructure for citizens and visitors to your networked city centre as well as equipping your public facilities such as libraries, offices or town halls with reliable city WiFi via hotspots. You have the flexibility to decide whether you want to offer your public WiFi free of charge or for a fee.
For regional public transport, we also offer customised mobile solutions so that passengers can use fast passenger WiFi on buses and trains. This adds an attractive component to the mobility of your citizens.

The customised design of the WiFi login page for your city or municipality also offers numerous options for city marketing and cross-hotspot auto-login allows your residents and guests to surf the internet conveniently and securely. HOTSPLOTS offers certified solutions in the areas of security and youth protection. We are also happy to help you on the subject of state WiFi funding.
Customisation of the hotspot login page — your business card for city marketing
Draw attention to yourself and your partners and use the opportunity to design an upstream, customised landing page.
This allows you to actively integrate your hotspot into city marketing and strengthen the perception of your municipality. Use the hotspot on the landing page to provide guests and visitors with up-to-date information on the wide range of offers in the region.
Our simple and powerful login page editor in the HOTSPLOTS customer area is available for this purpose. In addition, you can present yourself as a city, region or provider in your corporate design by designing the login page around the login screen.
This includes not only the display of your logo and the integration of your images. Direct links to your website or apps and information on regional events organised by your cooperation partners can also be integrated into your login interface and can be conveniently managed using the WLAN management software. The HOTSPLOTS login page is of course available in several languages.


Comprehensive and reliable WiFi service from a single source
With more than 17,500 active hotspots, HOTSPLOTS has been active as a WiFi provider in Germany and Europe since 2004 and is always there to support you: We take over the planning of the wireless network and advise you on the design of an overall system that meets your requirements.
Our own technicians or those of one of our partner companies in your region will install the hardware on site and support the WiFi system during operation. Our customer and end user support will help you with any problems.

Professional WiFi network coverage
Professional WiFi coverage provides the basis for a high-performance WiFi network. We first determine the requirements of your WiFi network and plan the WiFi infrastructure on the basis of available building plans and other parameters (range, data throughput, etc.). The planning is then checked on site using radio field measurements, which can identify previously unknown sources of interference, for example. You will receive comprehensive documentation from us with the selection and positioning of the necessary hardware components (access points, switches, cables, power supply, etc.) for a reliable and high-performance WiFi network.
Log in to the hotspot once and surf the entire city WiFi via roaming and auto-login
Within your public WiFi, you can connect several individual hotspots to a hotspot network using our roaming function. Seamless connectivity: Visitors to the City WiFi use the same login options and surfing conditions in the public library as at the town hall, in the old town, your job centre or at the train station. Our auto-login function ensures that users do not have to re-authenticate themselves at every hotspot in the roaming group and that data flows quickly.
Flexible internet access for your citizens and visitors thanks to various registration and tariff options
With our WiFi solutions, you can offer residents and visitors to your city, municipality or local authority fast and flexible access to the internet. You decide how you want to authorise access:
- Direct login — free of charge by simply accepting the terms of use,
- User login — through registration and with a user account on hotsplots.de, free of charge or subject to a charge, or
- Ticket login — on the basis of free or chargeable tickets (vouchers).
Access to the network can be limited in time or by a maximum data volume if desired. HOTSPLOTS offers flexible solutions for all aspects of WiFi access control and comprehensive statistical analyses of hotspot usage.


Entertainment and information for your WiFi hotspot location
Expand your municipal WiFi with the entertainment and information solutions from HOTSPLOTS Media. These additional services are available locally on your hotspot.
HOTSPLOTS Tourist Info — your digital tourist guide
With HOTSPLOTS Tourist Info, you can offer your guests a high-quality tourism information portal about your region — without any additional effort or costs for you. Offers such as events, excursion tips, hiking and cycling trails or weather information are provided directly via your hotspot. You can also book individual customisations on the portal.
HOTSPLOTS Press — Digital newspapers and magazines
HOTSPLOTS Press gives your guests access to the latest digital newspapers and magazines. The digital media are downloaded directly to their own smartphone, tablet or notebook without an additional app. After downloading, your guests can take the magazines with them and continue reading them outside your hotspot area.
Funding opportunities for your public WiFi — advice and implementation as part of WiFi funding programmes
We support you in applying for funding programmes to set up public WiFi. In recent years, we have already successfully equipped numerous municipalities and communities with WiFi for citizens and visitors as part of the WiFi4EU project. We are also happy to advise you on state-specific funding programmes, which are offered by Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Hessen (‘Digitale Dorflinde — WLAN-Förderung Hessen’), among others. We offer an all-round service from the planning of your WiFi project, including coverage, installation and ongoing WiFi service through to comprehensive support. Please do not hesitate to contact us for your project.

With HOTSPLOTS and our other business partners we were able to realise our ‘min-MAX-Citynet’ smoothly, swiftly and professionally. We are satisfied and would recommend HOTSPLOTS as a partner at any time.”
