Our diverse Wi-Fi offering for cities and municipalities includes providing high-performance Wi-Fi infrastructure for citizens and visitors of your connected city center, as well as equipping your public facilities such as libraries, government offices, or town halls with reliable city Wi-Fi via hotspots. Whether you offer your public Wi-Fi for free or for a fee is entirely up to you.
For regional public transport, we additionally offer tailor-made solutions via mobile networks so that passengers on buses and trains can use fast passenger Wi-Fi. The mobility of your citizens is thus enhanced by an attractive component.
Furthermore, the customized design of the Wi-Fi login page for your city or municipality offers numerous options for city marketing, and cross-hotspot auto-login allows your residents and guests to surf the internet comfortably and securely. In terms of security and youth protection, HOTSPLOTS provides certified solutions. We are also happy to assist you with the topic of Wi-Fi funding.
Reliable Wi-Fi Service from a Single Source
With more than 19,000 active hotspots, HOTSPLOTS has been operating as a Wi-Fi provider in Germany and Europe since 2004 and is always by your side to support you: We take care of planning the wireless network and advise you on designing a complete system that fits your requirements.
Our own technicians or those of one of our partner companies in your region will handle the hardware installation on-site and maintain the Wi-Fi system during ongoing operations. In case of any issues, our customer and end-user support is here to help.
Individual Design of the Hotspot Login Page – Your Business Card for City Marketing
Draw attention to yourself and your partners by taking advantage of the opportunity to design a customized, introductory landing page.
This allows you to actively integrate your hotspot into city marketing and strengthen the perception of your municipality. You can keep guests and visitors constantly updated on the region's diverse offerings via the hotspot landing page.
To do this, you can use our user-friendly and powerful login page editor within the HOTSPLOTS customer service portal. Furthermore, your corporate design is reflected in the layout of the login page and the login mask, allowing you to present yourself as a city, region, or provider.
It includes more than just presenting your logo and inserting your images. You can also include direct links to your website or apps, as well as information about regional events from your partner cooperations, right on your login interface. These can be easily managed via the Wi-Fi management software. Of course, the HOTSPLOTS login page is available in multiple languages.
Professional Wi-Fi Site Survey
The foundation for a high-performance Wi-Fi network is a professional Wi-Fi site survey. First, we record the requirements of your Wi-Fi network and plan the Wi-Fi infrastructure based on the existing building plans and other parameters (ranges, data throughput, etc.).
Afterward, the planning is verified by a radio field measurement at the respective location. This allows, for example, previously unknown sources of interference to be detected. You will receive detailed documentation from us containing the selection and placement of the necessary hardware components (access points, switches, cables, power supply, etc.). For a high-performance and reliably functioning Wi-Fi network.
Log in Once at a Hotspot and Surf the Entire City Wi-Fi Network
Within your public Wi-Fi network, you can connect multiple individual hotspots into a single hotspot network using our roaming function. Seamless Connectivity: Visitors to the city Wi-Fi use the same login options and surfing conditions in the public library as they do at the town hall, in the old town, at their job center, or at the train station. Our auto-login function ensures that users do not have to re-authenticate at every single hotspot within the roaming group, allowing data to flow quickly.
Flexible Internet Access Through Various Login and Tariff Options
With our Wi-Fi solutions, you offer the residents and visitors of your city, town, or municipality fast and flexible access to the internet. You decide how you want to structure the access clearance:
- Direct-Login: Free of charge by simply accepting the terms of use
- User-Login: Via registration and with a user account on hotsplots.de, either free of charge or for a fee.
- Ticket-Login: Based on free or paid tickets (vouchers).
Entertainment and Information for Your Wi-Fi Hotspot Location
Expand your municipal Wi-Fi with entertainment and information solutions from HOTSPLOTS Media. These additional services are available locally on your hotspot.
Funding Opportunities for Your Public Wi-Fi – Consultation and Implementation within Wi-Fi Funding Programs
We support you in implementing funding programs for setting up public Wi-Fi. In recent years, we have already successfully equipped numerous municipalities and towns with Wi-Fi for citizens and visitors as part of the WiFi4EU project. We are also happy to advise you on state-specific funding programs, such as those offered by Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, or Hesse ("Digitale Dorflinde – WLAN-Förderung Hessen"). We offer an all-round service, from the conception of your Wi-Fi project including site surveys to installation, ongoing Wi-Fi services, and comprehensive support. Please feel free to contact us regarding your project.
