Wi-Fi that checks in and checks out with your guests.

Every stay gets its own Wi-Fi code that starts at check-in, works anywhere in the hotel, and ends at check-out. Conferences get their own codes too. Reception stops being the Wi-Fi helpdesk.

Sound familiar?

Five things hotel Wi-Fi gets wrong, and what changes.

Most hotels live with at least one of these. Flip the switch to see each one fixed.

← You're looking at today. Try the switch.

The shared passwordA code per stay

One password, taped to reception since 2023.

Every stay gets its own code, and it ends at check-out.

Last month's guests still have it. So do the neighbours. You can't tell who's on your Wi-Fi or switch anyone off.

The code arrives by SMS or email at check-in and is printed on the room card. At check-out it changes by itself, and the old devices are signed off.

The conferenceEvent codes

120 delegates arrive, and the whole hotel slows to a crawl.

The conference gets its own code, its own days and its own fair share.

Everyone is on the same password, so room guests complain and nobody can see who's using what.

Each event gets a code and a QR, sent to the delegate list. It only works on the event's days and hours, with a fair limit per device, so room guests keep their speed.

The helpdeskAnswers on one screen

Reception has become the Wi-Fi helpdesk.

The answer is on screen before the guest finishes the sentence.

"I can't connect." "It's slow." Staff can only guess, restart the router and hope.

The room's card shows every device, its type and its speed. The usual answer: all four devices are already on, one of them a TV.

Only a costA small income line

Wi-Fi is a bill every month, and nothing comes back.

Guests who want more pay for it, on their room bill.

Everyone gets the same speed, so the guest who'd happily pay for faster has no way to.

Room Wi-Fi stays included. Fast Wi-Fi is an upgrade that reception adds in one click, posted to the room bill, or a guest buys it for their own device by M-Pesa.

Two systems, no linkOPERA runs the Wi-Fi

OPERA says he left at 11:00. The Wi-Fi says he's still here.

Check in, out or move a guest in OPERA, and the Wi-Fi follows by itself.

Your booking system and your Wi-Fi don't know about each other, so somebody has to remember, and usually nobody does.

Speedy Connect listens to OPERA. Check-ins, check-outs, room moves and changed departures arrive by themselves, and Fast Wi-Fi is posted to the guest's folio. No OPERA? Reception does the same in two clicks.

The network underneath

The same Speedy Connect, set up for how a hotel runs.

Every edition shares one network platform. Here's what each part does for a hotel.

01 RoutersOne router at reception, every access point watched.

Set up with one paste. You get an email if it goes quiet, and can swap it without the guests noticing.

02 AccessRoom and surname, a room code, or an event QR.

Each stay and each event gets its own way in, and each one ends on time.

03 ControlFour devices a stay. TVs slower.

Fair limits by kind of device, so a streaming TV doesn't slow a business guest's call.

04 MoneyFast Wi-Fi on the room bill.

Posted to the folio through OPERA, or paid by M-Pesa on the guest's phone.

05 GuestsCodes by SMS, email or both.

At check-in, and again whenever a guest asks, from the room's card.

06 VisibilityA monthly hotel report, as a PDF.

Stays, guests online, busy hours, and which rooms and events used the most.

Getting started

same day

Do I need new routers or access points?

No. Speedy Connect works with a MikroTik router, which most hotels in the region already have at reception. Your access points stay where they are.

We don't use OPERA. Does it still work?

Yes. Reception checks guests in and out on Speedy Connect's Rooms screen in two clicks, and everything else works the same. OPERA just makes it happen by itself.

Can a guest bring more devices?

You choose how many devices a stay gets (four is common) and which kinds go slower, like TVs. Reception can raise the limit for one room at any time.

What if a guest forgets their code?

They type their room number and surname on the Wi-Fi page instead. Or reception sends the code again by SMS or email from the room's card.
