Social WiFi software to compliment WAV, Inc’s wireless AP line

Aurora, IL – WAV, Inc., (www.wavonline.com) the value-added distributor of world-class wireless networking technology and provider of best-in-class support and services, has announced that it has entered a distribution agreement with Purple WiFi, a cloud-based, guest WiFi hotspot software that enables data capture through social media.

Purple WiFi provides businesses with enterprise guest WiFi that meets legal best practice. The guests log into the secure hotspot system using social media authentication or a short registration form. The venue providing the connection gains valuable demographic and engagement information from users through its Purple Portal, which allows the business to understand who is visiting and using their hotspot, how long they are online, as well as their age, gender and any other relevant information that they offer in their social networking profile. The portal also provides a powerful engagement tool to promote relevant offers, essentially rewarding guests for visiting the venue.

“WAV is extremely excited by the opportunity to bring Purple WiFi’s solutions to our channel,” said Norm Dumbroff, President and CEO of WAV, Inc. “Purple WiFi’s solution fully integrates with our WiFi vendors to bring our customers high margin opportunities in retail, hospitality, leisure, healthcare and education.”

We are delighted to be linked to such an established and reputable brand and our relationship with WAV will enable us to expand our reach in the US and extend our integration with Ruckus, through knowledgeable distributors.”
