Wi-Fi for hotels & restaurants in Montreal

High density, branded captive portal, PCI compliance. For venues where Wi-Fi isn't a luxury — it's a baseline service your guests expect.

The hospitality challenge

High density, high expectations.

In a hotel or a restaurant, Wi-Fi is as critical as hot water. A single bad TripAdvisor comment about the connection can cost you dozens of bookings. A drop during a corporate event can cost you a client for life.

The technical challenge is unique: high density of connections concentrated on a few floors, a mix of devices (phones, tablets, laptops, IoT), varied needs (Netflix streaming in one room, video calls in another), and a PCI compliance requirement the moment transactions run over the network.

This is exactly the ground we excel on. Since 2009, we've installed and managed dozens of hospitality networks in Montreal — from the 30-seat bistro to the corporate office tower.

Our 4-step approach

  • On-site survey. We come measure coverage, walls and interference sources. No commitment.
  • Custom plan. Number of APs, exact placement, equipment type. Presented with a detailed quote.
  • Flexible installation. We can install off-hours (overnight, slow periods) to limit impact on operations.
  • Ongoing follow-up. Proactive monitoring, periodic reports and priority response — per agreement.
What we install

Built for hospitality.

Separate multi-SSID

"Guest" network (with captive portal), "Staff" (secure), "IoT" (TV, thermostats, connected locks). Everything is isolated for security.

Branded captive portal

A login page in your hotel's colours. Asks for name/email/room number — you capture the leads for your marketing.

Optimized roaming

The guest moves from the restaurant to the lobby to their room without ever losing connection. Smooth handoff between APs.

PCI compliance

If your POS systems use Wi-Fi, we document the PCI-DSS setup. Real audits, real documentation.

Automatic reports

Every month: number of users, average bandwidth, peaks, issues detected. Sent by email.

Responsive support

Long-term follow-up on your installation. Priority response when you need it.
