Whether you run a café, retail store, hotel, or co-working space, offering WiFi to customers is no longer a luxury. It’s an expectation. But here’s the real question: is the WiFi for a business you’re currently using doing enough to protect your customers, your data, and your reputation?
Many businesses invest in fast internet, but few think about the security, traceability, and marketing potential that a robust public WiFi system can offer. That’s where Horizon Public WiFi from The Unite Group stands out. It’s more than just a connection. It’s a complete customer experience tool that focuses on safety, professionalism, and smart data use.
Why Standard WiFi Isn’t Enough
Standard routers and basic guest networks no longer cut it when it comes to WiFi for a business. Without the right controls in place, your business could be left open to misuse, legal risks, and cyber security threats. More importantly, your customers may not get the seamless, branded, and secure experience they expect when connecting.
Customers want fast and reliable access, but they also want to know their information is safe. Business owners need reassurance that inappropriate use is blocked, user activity is traceable if needed, and the network is protected. Horizon handles all of this.
Secure, Traceable, and Branded
Horizon Public WiFi is purpose-built WiFi for a business. It’s secure for both you and your customers, fully traceable to protect against misuse, and completely customisable with your branding and messaging.
1. Secure for You and Your Customers
Security is often the biggest concern when offering public WiFi, and rightly so. With Horizon, every device that connects is logged with its MAC address in the management portal. This protects you, the provider, from being held responsible for any inappropriate use. Advanced content filtering blocks access to harmful or illegal websites before your customers even see them.
Customer data is also protected. Horizon registers users to cloud-based controllers, meaning their information is secure and stored safely.
2. Traceable and Compliant
Should anything ever go wrong, Horizon keeps a secure log of who accessed your network and when. Each user logs in with their device details, allowing full traceability of activity. This is especially useful in regulated industries or if you ever need to provide activity logs for legal or compliance reasons.
With Horizon, you’re not just offering WiFi for a business. You’re offering a secure service that supports best practices in data handling and digital responsibility.
3. Branded and Professional
Horizon WiFi can be fully customised with your logo, colours, and messaging. The login page becomes a reflection of your brand, offering a professional and trustworthy first impression.
You can also use the portal to promote daily offers, events, or news. It takes minutes to update, so your messaging always stays relevant and on-brand.
Intelligent Features That Make Life Easier
Horizon remembers returning users. Once someone logs in at one of your locations, they’ll be automatically recognised across all Horizon-enabled sites. Next time, it’s just one click and they’re online.
This makes Horizon one of the most intelligent solutions available when it comes to WiFi for a business. It saves customers time and makes their experience smooth from the start.
More Than Just WiFi: A Built-In Marketing Tool
Horizon Public WiFi doesn’t just keep your customers connected. It helps you connect with them. During login, customers can provide an email address (with GDPR-compliant consent), giving you a direct channel to follow up with promotions, newsletters, or loyalty campaigns.
Want to advertise today’s lunch menu, share a discount code, or promote a new service? Horizon makes it easy. The login screen becomes an opportunity to inform, engage, and sell.
All data is stored securely and can be downloaded from the Horizon portal. It’s ideal for direct marketing and remarketing campaigns.
