The explosion of video streaming has changed the name of the game

The goal of many campsites and outdoor venues is to provide guests with a means to escape busy schedules and explore the great outdoors! But, today's holidaymakers want to remain connected, whether to catch up on work or stream a movie in the evening. There has been a huge shift in usage and expectations of outdoor WiFi being available over the past decade. 

For around 20 years, Wifirst has been a leading supplier of business WiFi and Fibre to a variety of venues across Europe with expansive outdoor areas. We embrace the challenges of providing services to the world of outdoor hospitality and would be excited to assist you with your project.

A one-stop-shop for WiFi & Fibre in your campsite

A Fibre Leased Line is essential for providing internet to high capacity campsites. As a provider of WiFi and as an Internet Service Provider (ISP), Wifirst is a single point of contact for providing both services, avoiding all of the problems that may occur from having multiple vendors involved. 

Wifirst is the only outdoor hospitality WiFi operator that is also an ISP, with direct links to the primary content providers, such as Netflix and YouTube, to provide optimised internet performance.

Truly bespoke outdoor WiFi solutions

No two campsites are the same: the capacity, the layout, the location and any external conditions, such as typical weather conditions for the region, must be a consideration while correctly planning a WiFi deployment. Therefore, a systematic and thorough on-site audit takes place to make sure your campsite receives full and robust coverage. 

Wifirst is passionate about WiFi and would recommend deploying a fibre backbone network to guarantee the very best user experience for your campsite.

Enabling multiple services within your caravan/holiday park

A reliable and fast WiFi service has become a key decision factor for potential guests when choosing where to stay. Many travel sites such as Booking.com now offer insights into the WiFi service at your venue, which could ultimately impact your revenue if the service provided isn't meeting your guests' needs. Wifirst's core business is to provide robust, fast WiFi and Fibre services to outdoor hospitality venues that your guests will love, and connectivity solutions to ensure your staff and IoT devices are seamlessly integrated.  

  • For your business requirements, Wifirst can configure a dedicated, secure and private hidden network to allow your staff to safely connect devices and remain hidden from guest traffic. 
  • We can help with the integration of any additional wireless services using WiFi technology, such as Smart TV's, broadband, connected locks, CCTV, Chromecast, etc. 
  • Does your venue cater for corporate clients? Wifirst also has a range of technical solutions to help you meet the needs of larger groups, such as dedicated bandwidth or private network facilities.

Paid WiFi or free WiFi?

Rewind to 2011 and you would find that most campsites offered WiFi services which were limited to just the bar, restaurant and lobby areas, and often paid services. More recently, we have seen a new trend in the outdoor hospitality market. It's no longer good enough to have WiFi in a select few areas as guests expect coverage throughout the premises and their private spaces. Furthermore, they also expect the service to be free of charge.

Paid vs free internet for guests can prove quite a challenge for venues who want to provide the best possible service while also being mindful of their ROI. Wifirst can help by ensuring you find the most cost-effective solution for your business and by providing the WiFi service that your guests need.
