Can guests still get free WiFi?

Yes. A free tier with a paid upgrade path is the most common model and usually the most profitable.

Is this available for temporary events?

Yes — portals, day passes, and sponsor branding are routinely deployed for a single event.

WiFi Revenue & Cost Recovery

Branded portals, day passes, sponsor WiFi, and guest analytics that turn the network into a revenue line.

For venues, events, and public spaces, WiFi can pay for part of itself. Branded captive portals capture guest information, tiered access sells premium or VIP bandwidth, and sponsorship placements offset the cost of the build. Cambium Solutions implements portal, billing, and analytics layers on top of the network we design.
