Guest WiFi Captive Portal That Captures Customer Data
Your guest WiFi should be working for your business, not just giving away free internet. CaptiFi's captive portal captures every login, builds a GDPR-compliant marketing list, and automates follow-ups. Works with TP-Link Omada, UniFi, Meraki & Aruba. Plug-and-play device included.
What is guest WiFi?
Guest WiFi is a public, internet-only WiFi network a business offers to customers, separate from its private back-office network, typically secured by a captive portal that requires sign-in.
CaptiFi turns ordinary guest WiFi into a customer data and marketing channel: each branded login captures consented contact details and builds a GDPR-compliant list you can market to. See our guest WiFi definition and the related WiFi marketing page for how the follow-ups work.

UniFi, Ubiquiti, Omada, TP-Link, Meraki, Cisco, Aruba, Instant On, HPE, MikroTik, RouterOS, RUCKUS, Fortinet, FortiGate, FortiAP and DrayTek are trade marks of their respective owners. CaptiFi is an independent guest WiFi platform that runs as an external captive portal on these vendors' access points and controllers.
