Muni Wi-Fi is big with Tomizone
A municipal Wi-Fi network gives blanket Wi-Fi coverage across towns or cities and Tomizone is an easy solution to add to any large-scale installation
In New Zealand, Tomizone is on an eight-city municipal Wi-Fi network with operator Kordia. Other city and nationwide Wi-Fi projects are in the works.
Sustainable Business
Councils, community groups and education facilities are turning to municipal Wi-Fi to offer cost-effective Internet coverage across large areas.
Tomizone makes it easy to set up a municipal Wi-Fi network by handling the billing, authentication and roaming requirements of Wi-Fi users.
Tomizone shares revenue with municipal Wi-Fi network owners, so it’s an easy business model to understand and implement quickly. Tomizone can be working within days of you switching on your municipal Wi-Fi network.
Roaming is standard
Tomizone organises interconnection agreements with other providers so that foreign “users” can log onto your municipal Wi-Fi network.
Security is key
Our Tomizone software keeps Municipal Wi-Fi users away from your internal network through use of sophisticated data traffic rules. That means you are safe from Internet threats and people who want to harm you.
The Tomizone firewall also keeps Municipal Wi-Fi users safe because Hotspot owners can’t obtain user details when they login to a Tomizone Hotspot. Certain Tomizone Enabled Routers offer Dual identifiers (SSIDs) giving you two networks in one box – a private secure network for your use and a second open public network for the Tomizone Hotspot that people pay to use.
Our robust security sets us apart from other Wi-Fi Hotspot systems.
New Zealand and municipal Wi-Fi
In 2007 Tomizone went national as part of an eight-city municipal Wi-Fi deployment with Kordia that covers around 300,000 businesses and households.
The user experience on the network is exactly the same as if you were at one of our Tomizone Hotspots.
The “Tomizone – Hotspot” SSID identifier beams out over the cities offering customer account, voucher or credit card access at the same rates as our Hotspots.
