What makes 82nd Street's wi-fi hotspot software unique is the ability to customize both the wi-fi login page and rate plans. Login page customization applications might include branding, special promotions and a link to an email newsletter. Having the ability to customize rate plans means locations can stay one step ahead of their local competition.
Alternatively, for locations wanting to offer free wi-fi, 82nd Street offers "timed accounts" which means that locations can control the duration of guest sessions. The big problem with providing unrestricted free access is having to deal with guests who overstay their welcome. Provisioning timed accounts diplomatically solves that issue.
