Deployments

One tenant, every estate and campus you serve

  • Multi-site by default. Every estate, campus block and public hotspot runs under one control plane — per-site packages and pricing.
  • Device control. Limit devices per voucher, track MAC addresses, shut down sharing before it eats your margin.
  • Works with your gateways. MikroTik, Ubiquiti and any RADIUS-based captive portal — no forklift upgrade.
  • Revenue analytics. Peak hours, top packages and per-site revenue — the numbers you check before breakfast.
