White Label Opportunities

The white label opportunities are part of Purple WiFi's aggressive expansion programme, and offers white label partners a licence to sell the social WiFi software solution under their own branding, as well as owning the customer relationship directly.

The social WiFi solution provides high-margin additional revenue, giving companies the opportunity to add to their existing product portfolio without incurring additional product development costs.

Frequently asked questions

What is white label guest WiFi and how does it work for MSPs?

White label guest WiFi is a software licensing model where Managed Service Providers (MSPs), ISPs, and network integrators rebrand Purple's cloud captive portal and analytics platform under their own brand name and custom domain. MSPs package guest WiFi, presence analytics, and automated marketing as a high-margin value-add service on top of existing connectivity and hardware contracts.

How much recurring margin can MSPs make reselling white label WiFi?

MSPs typically achieve gross profit margins between 65% and 82% on white label guest WiFi subscriptions. While wholesale access point licensing costs range from $7 to $16 per AP monthly (with tiered volume discounts), service providers commonly charge commercial clients $150 to $350+ per venue monthly, combined with upfront onboarding and custom splash page design fees of $350 to $1,200.

Which wireless hardware vendors support white label guest WiFi?

Purple is 100% hardware-agnostic and connects via cloud APIs, standard RADIUS (RFC 2865), and WISPr redirection to leading wireless controllers, including Cisco Meraki, HPE Aruba Networking, CommScope Ruckus, Juniper Mist, Ubiquiti UniFi, Fortinet FortiAP, and Extreme Networks. This allows MSPs to support mixed client hardware environments without deploying proprietary on-premise gateways.

What branding customization options are included in white label WiFi?

White label partners can customize the entire end-user and administrative experience, including custom vanity domains (e.g., wifi.yourmsp.com), branded splash page templates, custom logos, bespoke Terms of Service and privacy policies, white-labeled reporting emails, and co-branded executive analytics PDFs for client reviews.

How does multi-tenant management work for service providers?

The multi-tenant partner portal provides a hierarchical dashboard architecture. Service providers maintain a master management console to provision client organizations, assign access point licenses, manage billing, and grant clients granular role-based access control (RBAC) to view footfall reports or manage marketing campaigns for their specific venues.

How does white label guest WiFi handle GDPR, CCPA, and data privacy?

The platform delivers turnkey compliance with global privacy regulations including GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA. It includes explicit opt-in consent mechanisms, automated Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) workflows, ISO 27001 certified cloud infrastructure, and localized data residency in the UK, EU, US, and APAC regions.
