A lot of people to connect, on very small budgets

A school, a university or a student hall is the most demanding case of all: hundreds of devices waking up at the same moment, and users who count every coin. WiNet is built for that double squeeze.

Rolling out campus WiFi in four steps

A campus is not equipped like a shop: you look at the buildings first, then move forward zone by zone. Here is the order we recommend.

Find the places where students settle in

Lecture hall, library, courtyard, canteen, halls of residence: list the spots where people sit for a long stretch with a phone or a laptop in hand. Those are the ones that deserve an access point, not the corridors.

Note where the site's Internet connection comes in as well: that is where the cabling starts.
Have a technician put up the hardware

For a first install across several buildings, a professional saves a great deal of time: choosing the spots, mounting, cabling and hooking up the MikroTik routers. WiNet lets you send a technician out to install or repair a zone; the job is settled by a debit from your balance, never by a payment inside the app.
Create one zone per area, under a single account

Each router becomes a zone in the app: “Library”, “Block B”, “Canteen”. You keep one manager account, but you see the sales and the status of each area separately. That is also how you spot the building where the signal no longer reaches.
Publish the student price list, then adjust

You create your bundles, dress the portal in the school's colours, and open. The first few weeks show which tier really sells; you can change it at any time from your phone, without touching the hardware.

What a campus demands

What WiNet takes care of

The peaks between classes

When classes let out, everyone connects at once. Long bundles stop each student from having to buy again at the same moment, and the sales history shows you exactly when the load arrives.

Several zones, one account

Library, lecture hall, hall of residence: as many separate zones inside the same app, each with its own bundles, its own balance and its own connection status.

Bandwidth kept in hand

A voucher carries a duration and, if you want one, a data cap. By setting both, you stop a handful of devices from swallowing the whole campus line.

A portal with the CAMPUS theme

The CAMPUS template gives the portal a look suited to a school, with the name and the logo of the institution. Like every template, it is free.

A technician when you need one

For the first install, for adding a building or for a breakdown, you can send a technician out from the app instead of pulling your own staff off their work.

Payment a student can actually make

The mobile money of their country — MTN, Orange, M-Pesa, Airtel, Wave — or a bank card: the student pays with what they already have on them, with no counter to visit and no middleman.

One code, one phone

This is the point that decides whether a campus pays off: one code bought by a student and passed round the whole room. With WiNet, the code locks to the first phone that uses it. Handed to a friend, it stops working.

A week that lasts a week

You give a bundle a validity in days. It starts counting from the student's first connection, and when it runs out the code stops working, without anyone having to think about it.

Three example student price lists

These three price lists are examples meant to show how a bundle line-up can be built for a student audience. They are neither official prices nor price recommendations: you set your own amounts freely in the app, based on what your connection costs you and on who your users are.

Example price list	Short bundle	Medium bundle	Long bundle	The idea
Example A — exam revision	A day	3 days	A week	Aimed at exam periods, when students work several days in a row.
Example B — student hall	A day	A week	A month	For those who sleep on site and want to pay once and be done with it.
Example C — dropping into the library	2 hours	A day	A week	Suited to a place people come to work in for a few hours without living there.

A “week” bundle sold on a Friday

Validity in days counts from the first connection, not from the purchase. A student who buys a week on Friday evening and only uses it on Monday morning still gets seven full days from Monday. That is what makes a day / week / month line-up explainable in one sentence at the counter, and it is also what lets you print vouchers ahead of the new term.

And during the holidays?

Campus traffic collapses over the school holidays. You can trim your price list then, put it back exactly as it was at the start of term, or keep one long bundle for the few residents who stay on site. None of these changes needs anyone to touch the hardware.
