Re: Hosting a WiFi hotspot?

Looks like your using Meraki hardware.

I'd be interested, We are located 1 block from the SJSU campus with tons of students during the school. Yet the signal is too poor to reach over here so having some access points setup around here would be good but I'm not sure how you would compete with metrofi here. They offer free net access but the service is slow and the banner ad sucks. I would think of using a captive banner every couple minutes because I hate seeing that iframe when browsing. Another thing that would be nice is the option to add our own ad campaigns in something like openads.

Re: Hosting a WiFi hotspot?

Yes, we're considering Meraki as a potential solution. The goal is to work together with many customers to create a large mesh, with everyone sharing the revenue upside when it's used.

How fast is the Metrofi service, and how large is their advertisement banner space?

We're thinking of less than 1Mbps service for free, with an ad bar which would be the same shape, size and location as the "pop-up blocked" or "active-x script blocked" bar that you'll see come up now and then in most browsers. The ad bar displays an ad, and also has a local search input window that does a google search with the lat/long of the nearest AP pre-loaded.

I'll get you the banner size and speed when i get in range of the signal hopefully later on today.
