Student Accommodation
Applicable to: Any student house, multi-tenant apartment building or student residence.
Purpose
Hotspot solutions that allow buildings to offer students convenient, affordable Internet access options, or include the Internet in the rent.
Problem
Why does your building need proper Internet connectivity?
Internet connectivity has become a basic need, and an important consideration for students when choosing their accommodation. Student accommodation tends to either include a base Internet package in the rent, or offer the Internet connectivity as an available service that the students can make use of by simply buying prepaid data as and when required.
Solution
How does a WISH Wi-Fi Hotspot solve this problem?
Depending on the size of the building and the services required, WISH will install a combination of Fibre infrastructure and Wi-Fi Hotspot routers to offer students a range of connectivity options in their rooms. Students pay no installation or connection fee, and both prepaid and monthly data subscriptions are available. WISH manages the Internet breakout, the student Internet accounts, monitors the network, escalating issues and respond to all support queries from students directly.

Benefits: Internet connectivity options are an important consideration for people when choosing their accommodation. WISH can help the building owner, enabling them to offer Internet services to the tenants of the building, but choosing their own level of involvement.
Extras: Internet can be included in the monthly rental for each student, with data loaded on the 1st of each month, billed to the building owner at a bulk rate.
Description
How does it work?
The service varies from building to building, but in general residents have an option when they move in to simply connect to the Wi-Fi network inside the building and buy prepaid data online. No installation fee, no waiting period. Should a building also have a copper or Fibre network inside the building, residents can open an account and subscribe to a monthly Internet subscription at speeds of up to 100Mbps, OR make use of a prepaid service to buy smaller data packages as and when required.
