Specialist in Commercial WiFi Solutions
WiFi SPARK has been providing WiFi services since 2003 and has fast become one of the leading suppliers of WiFi for the rail industry. A true WiFi innovator, WiFi SPARK offers more than just WiFi, collaborating with partners to provide the platform for digital services, information, and passenger engagement.
Much like rail, WiFi SPARK provides its end-to-end solution for buses as well, meaning that a passenger will be connected throughout their entire journey from bus station, onboard and back again, with no requirement to log into different systems/networks.
With single sign-on WiFi, when a passenger has logged in once, the innovative technology will recognise their device and allow them back online automatically for one year whenever they return to the station, day after day, with a personalised ‘Welcome Back’ message. When the term of free WiFi is finished, the passenger will be required to complete the single log in again for another period of seamless connectivity.
Get Value for you Investment
The SPARK® Platform can be deployed over existing infrastructure to save on cost whilst delivering real value. The ROI stems from advertisement opportunity, system integration and data analysis, where Bus operators can engage with passengers, link in with other services such as ticketing, signage or surveys and use the powerful analytics platform to interpret the data collected to make smarter, data-driven marketing and business decisions.
Offering the signature Continuously Connected Passenger Journey, User Experience portal, analytics and more, WiFi SPARK provides a premium service supported 24/7 by its UK-based Service Desk.
