Zoos by the numbers
Challenges & fixes
Most of the grounds are outdoors, far from any wired building
Zoo exhibits are spread across acres of outdoor terrain, often nowhere near a building with power or a network drop, leaving most of the grounds without any WiFi coverage at all.
- ✓Solar / Off-Grid AP Portfolio covers exhibits far from any building
- ✓Satellite & Rural Backhaul reaches the most remote corners of large grounds
- ✓Zero-Touch Provisioning speeds up grounds-wide coverage rollouts
Attendance swings dramatically between a quiet weekday and a packed weekend
A zoo network sized for an average Tuesday gets overwhelmed on a sunny Saturday, right when app-based maps and exhibit info matter most to visiting families.
- ✓OpenX Cloud capacity monitoring adapts to seasonal and daily swings
- ✓OpenX Gateway bandwidth policy keeps access fair on peak days
- ✓WiFi Analytics & Monetization measures app engagement by exhibit zone
Our solutions
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.
OpenX Cloud is an open wireless cloud controller for Enterprise, SMB, and MDU deployments, built on an open technology stack (OpenWiFi cloud SDK and AP NOS). It runs on low-cost, low-compute AP hardware from any supported ODM — no hardware vendor lock-in — with full WiFi 6/6E support and backward compatibility for WiFi 4/5. Deploy on AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean, or your own data center, as SaaS or a licensed platform.
