Guide to WI-FI in Hotels : What is needed for hotel WI-FI

We will now see what is needed in order to create a WI-FI hotspot in a hotel.
First of all, you need to obtain authorization from the local authority, and then you will need professional hotspot billing software, such as Softvision Explorer. You can download a FREE trial version from the download hotspot software page on this site.

You may now proceed with the installation of the system. First of all, one of the hotel computers must be set up as a server. For convenience, it is preferable to use the same computer that is used for checking in guests in the reception. The Softvision Explorer hotspot software is installed on this computer (which must have in internet connection), and a second PCI network card is inserted. The WI-FI network that sends out the wireless signal will be linked to this card.
