A Captive Portal is a specialized web page where users are "captured" by and forced to interact with before they are granted access to a public or business Wi-Fi network. It is the web page that automatically pops up when you connect to a network at a hotel, airport, or coffee shop, requiring you to interact with it before you can actually use the internet.

Roqos provides feature-rich, cloud-based captive portal and hotspot solutions for businesses seeking to offer secure Wi-Fi access to their employees and customers, while gaining extensive analytics for security and marketing purposes.

They are ideal for cafes, restaurants, hotels, trains, buses and boats, providing easy, fast, and secure internet access while capturing users' email addresses, device information, and internet usage—all of which provide valuable marketing data.

Roqos provides customized captive portals that manage high user density and signal fluctuations for the transportation industry. Custom authentication enables operators to validate internet access through API integration. By utilizing criteria such as ticket and seat numbers or email verification, businesses can create a highly secure and personalized onboarding process tailored to their specific operational needs.

Additionally, Roqos transforms Wi-Fi into a powerful marketing and operational tool. By geolocating devices, capturing passenger data, and analyzing backend usage patterns, operators can make data-driven decisions for fleet scheduling and loyalty programs—all while ensuring full compliance with regional privacy regulations.

Roqos also delivers captive portals designed to manage high guest turnover and ensure seamless connectivity across hotels and cafes. By implementing intelligent bandwidth throttling and fair-usage policies, property owners can ensure that high-speed Wi-Fi remains stable and reliable for every guest, from the casual café visitor to the business traveler in a hotel suite.

Beyond core connectivity, Roqos transforms guest Wi-Fi into a strategic marketing and revenue engine. By leveraging user data capture, management can make informed, data-driven decisions regarding staffing levels, facility usage, and loyalty initiatives. This enables hotels and cafes to push promotions directly to the guest's device, all while maintaining strict compliance with global privacy regulations.
