Hey all,
So here’s an open question for conversation starting. What does everyone do
for WIFI in a public area? Specifically, I’m looking at best practice for
access. I’m going to start deploying cnPilot AP’s at some of our small
community baseball fields. Some of these communities have little to no cell
service, and when you’re at the ball park and want to share a video of your
child playing, or tell family where you are, or even in emergencies, you need
connectivity. So I’m looking at leveraging this need with opportunity for our
company and providing free service, but use it for marketing, with the
potential to upsell ‘Advanced Services’. IE; could offer streaming cameras,
higher capacity, etc. for a cost. One local park is stating they will limit
connectivity by just unplugging the equipment when they are not there, however
I find this to be some what archaic in nature. Thus, my long winded question,
what’s the best practice for allowing limited access on this network, that
prevents users from sitting and streaming movies in the parking lot, during
weeknights, but allows attendees to utilize the service as preferred. I’m not
asking for the how, I’m well versed in the capabilities of the equipment, but
more asking the which, what’s the group typically lean towards using over the
other, vouchers vs. open, time limits, bandwidth limits, and so on?
Thank you,
