Linten Technologies always at the forefront of technology

Social Wi-Fi

Linten have been installing Wi-Fi networks for businesses that want to offer free to their customers and ensuring that business owners get something back for offering the service ‘social Wi-Fi’… This includes access to customers’ social media information (Inc. email and mobile number).  Before you know it businesses don’t see this as a service to customers they see it as a valuable marketing tool.

Data can be queried to find customers patterns, average age of customers, percentage of which are male or female, how long they spend in the store, how many have been in the store, what is your busiest time of day, the  list is endless…

Authenticated Wi-Fi

They have partnered with a leading US ‘Hosted Radius’ provider, to exclusively bring this software to the UK, ‘Hosted Radius’ is basically software to authenticate people to use your Wi-Fi with a unique username and password for each user.

Examples where this could be used would be offices that want all their staff to have controllable access to the internet rather than all using the same shared password.  Another example where this system would work really efficiently would be schools and colleges so they can issue individual usernames and passwords to their students.

If you’ve got IT problems within your organization or would like an overview of your current system, Linten are our first choice and here to advise and help, please give Steven Allan a call on 0800 612 7125 via his LinkedIn profile or via their website.
