Case Study: Mi‑WiFi achieves secure, brandable guest Wi‑Fi and new revenue growth with SonicWall Clean Wireless solution

Locking down networks, gaining new business

Mi WiFi, a South African SaaS provider of wireless guest authentication for hotels, restaurants and other venues, needed a way to lock down open hotspots while offering brandable, easy-to-manage guest Wi‑Fi and analytics. To address this, Mi WiFi integrated SonicWall technology—specifically the SonicWall Clean Wireless solution, including SonicWall Next‑Generation Firewalls, SonicPoint access points and the SonicWall Comprehensive Gateway Security Suite—into its offering.

By building its service on the SonicWall Clean Wireless platform, Mi WiFi delivered authenticated, token-based and brandable guest networks with granular access controls, reporting and Reassembly‑Free Deep Packet Inspection. SonicWall’s solution strengthened security, improved connection performance, let hotels reclaim advertising revenue and marketing data, opened new reseller opportunities, and—per Mi WiFi—is on track for deployment at a couple thousand sites, driving more customer traffic and measurable revenue gains.
