Guest WiFi’s Old Dilemma is Over. The New Choice is Yours.
For years, providing Guest WiFi has been a balancing act of bad options. On one side, you had open networks with a shared password—easy for users, but a security nightmare riddled with legal risks for you. On the other hand, you had the captive portal: a friction-filled gateway that, despite its data-gathering benefits, created a frustrating experience for visitors, made even worse by modern privacy features like MAC address randomisation.

For over a decade, we've evolved our captive portals to be the best in the world. But now? We're leaving them behind in favour of secure and seamless connectivity, everywhere. And it all starts with one unified app: The Purple App.
