當您出門在外時,會主動尋找免費 WiFi 嗎?如果可以使用,您會去連線嗎?我們調查了多達 2,540 人,我們的結果非常有趣。

我們受訪者的客群分佈

受訪者的性別比例幾乎各占一半,男性略高於半數。大多數受訪者來自英國,但我們也收集了來自 30 多個國家的數據。

免費 WiFi 意味著更多顧客與更多營收

我們的調查結果證實,大多數顧客都喜歡在造訪的場所使用免費 WiFi,有 72% 的受訪者表示他們會在公共場所使用 WiFi。在這些人當中,有 78% 會主動尋找並更傾向於造訪提供免費 WiFi 的場所。四分之三受訪的 WiFi 使用者表示,他們在提供免費 WiFi 的場所停留的時間更長,而三分之二的人表示他們可能會在該處花費更多資金。

當您使用免費公共 WiFi 時,時間過得真快

略低於半數的公共 WiFi 使用者每週至少使用一次,18% 的人每天使用一次以上。大多數受訪者每次登入的時間長達 30 分鐘。38% 的使用者連線時間在 30 分鐘到一個半小時之間。另有 7% 的人報告使用時間超過一個半小時。

主要用途包括查看電子郵件,以及瀏覽社群媒體和網站。

信賴 WiFi?

令人擔憂的是,數據還指出有 17% 的人在未安全的公共 WiFi 上進行銀行交易。由於有 87% 的人查看電子郵件,27% 的人使用公共 WiFi 進行工作,顯然需要更安全的公共網路。

人們對公共 WiFi 有什麼期望?

簡單的登入流程是首要考量。即使是目前不使用公共 WiFi 的人,也將此列為鼓勵他們使用公共 WiFi 的首要因素。

免費 WiFi 的可用性緊隨其後。大多數受訪者表示,他們不會為公共 WiFi 的更高頻寬連線付費。

在決定連線到哪個網路時,47% 的人會尋找知名的品牌名稱。大多數受訪者也認為內容過濾應該成為法律規範。

為什麼人們不連線到公共 WiFi

主要原因在於有些人不在公共場所使用行動裝置。而在使用行動裝置的人當中,27%(占所有受訪者的 6%)擔心網路安全。其他人則不知道如何使用,或覺得註冊過程太過冗長。

當被問及連線到 WiFi 的好處時,大多數受訪者知道這通常是免費的。然而,三分之二的人不知道它可以阻擋不當內容,且將近 80% 的人不知道場所可以透過 WiFi 連線發送優惠券和優惠資訊。

大眾對於如何存取免費 WiFi 的知識仍然不足

對於如何連線上網的困惑依然存在。Purple WiFi 的研究顯示,66% 的人對如何連線上網感到困惑:54% 的人認為他們在提供 WiFi 的場所會自動連線,7% 的人認為他們需要將裝置關機並重新開機,而 5% 的人承認他們根本不知道如何使用公共 WiFi。

看來雖然許多人在出門在外時會連線到 WiFi,但仍有許多個人和企業尚未意識到公共 WiFi 的真正潛力。

Purple WiFi 很高興能解決調查中發現的許多關鍵問題,提供簡單的社群登入、安全的訪客 WiFi 網路以及最佳實踐的內容過濾。

常見問題

How does offering free public WiFi increase venue footfall and dwell time?

In Purple's survey of 2,540 consumers, 72% of respondents connect to public WiFi in commercial venues, with 78% actively looking for free access before choosing where to visit. Furthermore, 75% of connected visitors report spending more time on site, and 66% spend more money per visit when fast, reliable WiFi is available.

What opt-in conversion rate can venues expect from a branded captive portal?

Commercial venues typically achieve opt-in rates between 22% and 38% when using a streamlined, mobile-optimized captive portal. Providing frictionless social sign-on (such as Google, Apple, or Microsoft) and single-tap form options eliminates registration hurdles and captures verified first-party CRM profiles.

What are the primary reasons consumers connect to public WiFi networks?

According to our survey data, 87% of public WiFi users check email, 27% connect for remote work tasks, and 17% perform banking tasks. Because visitors perform sensitive activities on guest networks, venues must implement ISO 27001-certified security, isolated VLANs, and DNS content filtering.

How can businesses turn public WiFi connections into repeat customer visits?

When visitors authenticate on a captive portal, Purple captures first-party profile data and device visit history. Marketing teams can automate triggered SMS or email promotions - such as sending an exclusive discount voucher after 20 minutes of dwell time or sending a re-engagement offer 14 days after a visit.

Which enterprise access points support Purple's public WiFi platform?

Purple is hardware-agnostic and connects with enterprise wireless hardware including Cisco Meraki, HPE Aruba Networking, CommScope Ruckus, Juniper Mist, Ubiquiti UniFi, and Extreme Networks. Cloud RADIUS and API integrations allow deployment across multiple locations without replacing existing hardware.

Why do some consumers avoid logging into public WiFi networks?

Survey findings show that 27% of non-users avoid public WiFi due to security concerns, while others cite long, complex sign-up forms. Venues resolve this by deploying branded splash pages with clear privacy terms, content filtering, and fast one-click social authentication.
