Case studies

Four very different jobs. One router.

Four guest WiFi case studies: a boutique hotel, a market, intercity coaches and short-term rentals. Same portal, same dashboard — and here’s what actually changed at each: logins, opt-ins, revenue, reviews.

Case 01 · Boutique hotel

The rooms, the garden, and the seamless roaming in between.

A twenty-room boutique hotel with a large outdoor space to match. Guests log in once at check-in and roam — room to terrace to the far end of the lawn — without dropping or signing in again: the indoor and outdoor units hand them off between each other. The garden is covered, not just the corridor. And it isn’t a guest network bolted onto the hotel — the cameras, the TVs and the back office run on it too, and the owner sees the whole property on one screen.

Twenty rooms is the easy part; the garden is where hotel WiFi usually falls apart. Here the login from check-in follows guests to the last table on the lawn — and the cameras, the TVs, the whole building runs on the same network.

17:30 · Gulu

Case 02 · Market WiFi

Sixty-plus access points. One front door.

Gulu Market already had WiFi — sixty-plus access points of its own, strung through the halls. Halo Core dropped into the office rack and put one branded portal, one dashboard and one set of rules in front of every one of them. The access points stayed where they were.

I expected a rip-and-replace. It was one box in the rack. Every access point we already had kept working — the difference is they all show one login now, and I can finally see all of them on one screen.

Case 03 · Bus WiFi

WiFi at 80 km/h.

Coaches and shuttles on 4G/5G backhaul, powered from the 12V line. Passengers join before the bus leaves the depot — and the operator finally knows who rides, per route, per day.

Passengers connect at the depot and stay connected the whole ride. We finally know who travels with us — and app downloads tripled from the portal banner.

Case 04 · Airbnbs & rentals

Every listing, remotely.

Routers couriered to new listings, self-installed in minutes, managed from one dashboard across the whole portfolio. The WiFi password rotates itself between stays.

Every new listing gets a router couriered over. It’s live before the cleaner leaves, and I see all nine properties from one screen.
