Gwynedd Council Rolls Out Free Wi-Fi

Over 40 Wi-Fi hotspots are being installed around Gwynedd county – North Wales. The service will provide Free Wi-Fi for Council buildings, Leisure Centres, Tourist Information Centres and Art Galleries.Meraki Wi-Fi Network Installation

The Wi-Fi network is part of the council’s digital inclusion initiative – “Digital Gwynedd”, helping provide council residents with a good quality broadband connection.

Why did Gwynedd Council Choose PolkaSpots Supafly Wi-Fi?

Gwynedd needed to provide secure guest Wi-Fi alongside a private staff connection. Historically this meant installing two separate Wi-Fi networks – guest Wi-Fi and staff Wi-Fi.

Using Meraki Wi-Fi access points, PolkaSpots segregated staff access from guest access, and one platform was installed for public and private Wi-Fi access.

The council network uses our cloud-based hotspot management system to regulate internet usage.

You will be able to use the Gwynedd Wi-Fi network to do interesting things online this summer.

Professional Wireless Surveys

WiFi Hotspot Site Survey Team

Near zero degree temperatures didn’t distract two of the PolkaSpots team (and one friend) from a recent site survey in Norfolk.

Using a survey vehicle equipped high-powered 5Ghz radios mounted on a 6m mast, the team spent a day in freezing temperatures surveying a new deployment.

What’s with all the dinosaurs?

Turns out, the Internet’s pretty dull… Trying to figure out what we could use to represent such things as Wi-Fi, we realised that it’s what you do with it that counts.

We love the Internet, we love giving it away and we love the fact that you can look up really interesting things, like dinosaurs!

This is what we think a PolkaSaurus-rex might look like

Wanted – Dead or Alive

Have you seen this PolkaSpots Wi-Fi Hotspot box?

Wi-Fi hotspot provider recalls small batch of wifi hotspots

3 months of age, 20cm in height. Weight 300g. White in colouring, two pointy ears. Clearly branded: Pronto Point 802.11n.

What happened? Around 10% of the Wi-Fi Hotspots we shipped in Q1 2011 (around 40 in total) developed a fault that prevented users from getting online.

We are replacing these boxes with brand new PolkaSpots 802.11n Wi-Fi Hotspot controllers. Free of charge.

Your replacement controller will be shipped to you in a matter of days. All you need to do is send the old one back in the envelope provided.
