First off many customers question what is a social WiFi network? A social wifi network is a public WiFi wireless free zone that enables users to connect their smart phones and tables to the internet by logging in with their social media account (Twitter/Facebook/LinkedIn or email).
There are hardware providers such as Ruckus and Meraki that offers you built in software in their cloud based access point and controllers but they don't offer you the option to fully deploy the social WiFi media aspect. Ruckus and Cisco Meraki are great products but they work even better when you deploy a solution such as Aislelabs or purplewifi. Aislelabs a well known company in the Greater Toronto area works with a well known vendor www.connectsim.ca.
The second solution to start a social WiFi offering is to purchase the additional hardware from a technology vendor and not have to worry about additional costs of licenses and monthly fees. The only additional monthly fees you would need to maintain are the hosted monthly social WiFi fee which ranges between $25cad/month and up to $50cad/month depending on features you require. Based on our knowledge and from what the majority of restaurants and retail stores are following is that they are mostly selecting a managed service offering and not choosing the route of purchasing their own hardware. When trying to manage your own hardware a restaurant owner will have to worry about compatible hardware with the hotspot social WiFi application.
