Challenges & fixes
Intermission creates a short, sharp spike in demand
Hundreds of patrons check phones the moment the house lights come up at intermission, all at once, for a window of just a few minutes — a spike pattern most WiFi setups aren't tuned for.
- ✓OpenX Cloud capacity monitoring is built around exactly this kind of short spike
- ✓AAA/RADIUS-as-a-Service handles the intermission login surge
- ✓Access Points positioned for lobby and house coverage together
Box office and ticketing systems share infrastructure with guest WiFi
Many independent theaters run box office ticketing on the same network as guest WiFi, risking ticketing slowdowns during exactly the busy pre-show window when sales matter most.
- ✓OpenX AAA separates box office systems from guest WiFi
- ✓OpenX Gateway prioritizes ticketing traffic automatically
- ✓Fully Managed (SaaS) deployment removes the need for in-house IT
Our solutions
OpenX Gateway is the controller underneath Wifi-Soft's guest and staff networks — hotspot management and AAA authentication in one place, whether you run one site or a few hundred.
OpenX WiFi is the OpenWiFi-based access point firmware behind every Wifi-Soft deployment — Wifi-Soft doesn't manufacture access points. Instead, OpenX WiFi runs on a growing list of supported ODM hardware, so you pick the AP that fits your budget and site instead of being locked into one vendor's box, all managed centrally through OpenX Gateway or OpenX Cloud.
