- Are you paying too much for your WiFi Provision? - Time's are tight, there's no doubt about that. Smart businesses are taking the time to review contracts, to see where savings can be made and WiFi Provision is certainly an area where you could be paying too much. Does your WiFi Provider include broadband provision in their package? Many WiFi solution providers sell you a complete package, including broadband lines. The problem is though, very few, if any are actually telecoms companies so all they are doing is finding a provider with a reseller agreement, adding a few pounds on and then selling you...

- Bad WiFi installation can cause you all sorts of problems - Oh dear! Oh Dear! As some of you who read our blogs may know, we've been installing WiFi at 9 holiday parks over the last 3 weeks. On our epic wifi tour, we checked into a hotel in Cardiff (A BIG hotel chain) and purchased access for their wifi network. Note: We have screen shots to include in this post, but can't upload them yet due to the poor wifi installation at the hotel - we'll upload them in the next day or so. Our first criticism was the cost, its... Read full post here
- Badwell Ash Holiday Lodges switch to Candengo OpenWiFi - Badwell Ash Lodges , http://www.badwellashlodges.co.uk/ have switched to Candengo OpenWiFi for their WiF provision, monitoring, content filtering and legal compliance. Their existing equipment was re-used - we didn't even need to take down the equipment as we managed to decrypt the old Park and Marine / Leisure Technology Solutions passwords. Switch over took around 2 hours to reconfigure the network. If you've been let down by Leisure Technology Solutions why not give Candengo a call to discuss porting your system over.

- Beat the VAT man - We're dropping our prices by 2.5% - I am sure we all agree that the VAT rise, while necessary, is an unwelcome burden on our finances. Our Colocation costs have risen, broadband costs have gone up, hardware is more expensive - but we won't be raising our prices. Whilst the VAT remains at 20%, we will be dropping our prices by 2.5% to absorb the VAT increase. OK, it won't heal the UK economy but it may just reaffirm the fact that Candengo's range of Wireless HotSpot solutions are the best value for money. We would like to wish you all...

- Bed and Breakfast WiFi HotSpots and the Digitial Economy Bill - WiFi providers such as cafes, caravan parks, hotels and Bed and Breakfasts may have to register as internet service providers to conform with proposals in the Digital Economy Bill, adding thousands to their operating costs and obliging them to police their networks for illegal file sharing. Of Course, you could do that, or, you could simply sign up for a Candengo WiFi HotSpot, and let us worry about that. Our small, discrete WiFi Hotspots place a barrier between you and harm - we track your users access, websites, name and email address. We filter our undesirable P2P networking. In truth,...

- BT and Talk Talk lose file-sharing appeal - "BT and Talk Talk have lost an appeal over controversial measures to tackle copyright infringement online. The internet service providers (ISPs) had argued the UK's Digital Economy Act was incompatible with EU law. The Act will mean ISPs will have to send warning letters to alleged illegal file downloaders, as well as potentially cutting users off." from the BBC news website - see link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17270817 So, What does this mean for you?

- Candengo OpenWiFi Content Filtering - Static IP not required. - We like having people ring us up to enquire about our WiFi service, but we don't like our competitors giving out wrong information about our service. We always speak very highly about our competitors and expect the same in return. For the record, our WiFi HotSpots support full content filtering AND blocking of websites which fall outside of any content filtering category - for instance, a competitors website. You don't need a Static IP address for the content filtering to work, unlike some other providers. What you get when you purchase an OpenWiFi HotSpot is the most... Read full post here
- Candengo OpenWiFi special promotions come to an end. - Over the last year, we've heard two regular comments from our customers. One of those comments is regarding the ease of use of the service, the range of features and the exceptional, fanatical support we offer. The second is with regards to price. Whats the Catch? How can you be so cheap? We've even lost sales due to our pricing as customers can't always believe our service works as the prices we have been quoting are way under those of our competitors. The reason our pricing is such good value for money is that... Read full post here

- Free installation of your OpenWiFi HotSpots - Our OpenWiFi HotSpots are very simply to install - simply take it out of the box and plug it in - easy peasy. What's not so easy is determining how many you need to provide a good coverage over your venue. Over the last week, we've installed OpenWiFi at hotels in Heathrow and Manchester - covering in excess of 120 rooms. The hardest part is knowing where to put the units and how to get power to them. Which is why we have decided to offer free installation to venues that will require 3... Read full post here
- Free WiFi HotSpot installation - Too Good to be true? - When looking for a WiFi HotSpot partner for your site, you may be tempted by those companies that offer everything for free - after all, why pay when it can be had for nothing? The problem is though, it's not a sustainable business model, and rumors are abound today after we saw a leaked email that one of the players in this field is having a spot of bother. It's a flawed model - it's like BP or SHELL giving away free cars so they can live on the petrol and diesel revenue. More than one company... Read full post here

- High Revenue Splits and the ability to set your own tarriffs. - There's loads of WiFi HotSpot providers around, but we're not all the same. Here's how we differentiate ourselves from the other players: Set your own Tarriffs Most providers think that all venues are the same, they set the tarriffs you must charge without realising that every location is different. Some venues may be able to charge £25.00 for 1 week's WiFi access, where as some of the smaller sites may be happier to charge £15.00. We allow you to set your own tarriffs and duration, allowing you to sell more and... Read full post here

- Installing WiFi in Wooded, Forested and rural Campsites. - We've just come come back from a site visit (or maybe it was ages ago - depends when you read this). It was a special site visit though, as we had been told by the venue owner that another 'wifi' company had advised that they couldn't have wifi because of the trees. Granted, there were lots of tree's, and for your average WiFi company it was probably more than they could cope with. But Candengo are not your average WiFi company. No sir, we're not.

Which is why I am surprised to see many caravan parks going down the free hardware route, and a few providers still touting it as the way forward. The free hardware route works like this: You ring a company and they install the WiFi HotSpot network free of charge. They dictate how much WiFi access costs, and how much of the campsite they will cover for you. They then take the lions share of the revenue generated from the service, whilst... Read full post here

- What Equipment do we use for our WiFi HotSpot and WISP solutions - We're asked this quite frequently, as people assume they can just nip off and buy the same equipment themselves and have a working WiFi Hotspot solution.
