Instant Provisioning with PlasmaCloud- A world first
In late 2019 Fydelia embarked on a rather different approach to Guest WiFi installations. It all began at the 2019 Restaurant and Bar Tech show in London when we met Marek Linder, the CEO of Plasma Cloud.

Marketing Automation is the key
No doubt you already have some kind of WiFi solution and probably spend time segmenting the marketing data you get.

A customer can nag the poor unsuspecting waiter or waitress for the latest spring deals, voucher codes, upcoming two-for-one offers and so on. But if every customer did that, food would certainly be arriving cold, if at all. Incentivising the customer to hop on to WiFi is a great way to keep that […]
