Saturday afternoon. Your restaurant is packed.
A guest waves you over. “Excuse me, can I get your WiFi password?”
You tell it to her. She types it in, waits for the splash page, clicks “Accept Terms,” waits again… and her face falls. Still no connection.
Meanwhile, across the room, three other guests are doing the same dance. Typing. Waiting. Refreshing. One finally gives up and walks outside to make a call. You just lost part of the experience you worked so hard to create.
Here’s what most restaurant, hotel, and venue owners don’t know: ⬇️
Those carriers — AT&T, T-Mobile, Google Fi, and others — need your WiFi to fix their indoor coverage problem. And they’re willing to pay you for it.
Why Carriers Are Turning to Businesses Like Yours
Mobile data is exploding. Every TikTok scroll, mobile payment, or “let me check Google Maps” happens indoors. But thick walls, tinted glass, and metal beams choke cellular signals.
Carriers used to solve that with six-figure Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) and small cells — expensive, complex, and unrealistic for most properties. So they looked around and realized: you already have the solution sitting in your building. Your WiFi network.
Through a process called WiFi Carrier Offloading, mobile carriers securely route subscriber data through trusted indoor WiFi networks instead of relying on outdoor towers. This improves Indoor Cellular Coverage (also known as In-Building Connectivity) for everyone inside.
That’s where LongFi Solutions comes in.
Where LongFi Fits In
LongFi Solutions partners with national carriers to enable WiFi Carrier Offloading in commercial spaces across the country. The program lets carriers use your existing Guest WiFi to deliver stronger indoor cell coverage to their subscribers at zero cost to you.
No new hardware.
No construction.
No burden on your IT team.
Here’s what you gain:
- Passive income. LongFi arranges for carriers to pay you a recurring fee for allowing offload traffic through your WiFi.
- Better guest experience. Visitors stay connected everywhere: the lobby, conference room, drive-thru, or gym floor.
- Property advantage. Strong in-building connectivity now rivals location as a top leasing and hospitality factor.
You already paid for your WiFi. You’re already maintaining it. Now the carriers will pay you to use it.
How It Works
The technology behind this is called Passpoint®, developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance.
Passpoint allows phones to automatically and securely connect to trusted WiFi networks without passwords, pop-ups, or splash pages. Think of it like TSA PreCheck for WiFi: your device already carries credentials that say, “I belong to AT&T or T-Mobile.”
When that device walks into your venue, the network recognizes it and connects instantly. No clicks, no portals, no “Accept Terms” button.
LongFi Solutions configures Passpoint and manages the carrier integration remotely — typically in under an hour. Once active, phones from participating carriers automatically hop from outdoor 5G to your secure indoor WiFi the moment they step inside.
For your guests, it feels like perfect 5G coverage everywhere.
For you, it’s effortless carrier-grade Indoor Cellular Coverage delivered over infrastructure you already own.
Why Carriers Are Eager to Partner
Carriers know that 80 percent of mobile data use happens indoors. Every dropped call, every lagging app, every “one bar in the lobby” complaint damages their brand.
Expanding indoor coverage through existing WiFi is faster and far less expensive than building more cell sites. It relieves network congestion, keeps subscribers happy, and strengthens carrier performance across the board.
That’s why they’re willing to fund these offloading programs and why they need venue partners like you.
Why It Matters for Your Business
Connectivity is now part of the guest experience.
When visitors can’t stream, pay, or post, they blame the venue, not the carrier.
Poor signal affects:
- How long guests stay
- Whether they return
- What they write in reviews
- How much they spend on-site
LongFi flips that experience on its head:
- Happier guests who stay connected anywhere in your venue.
- Fewer coverage complaints or negative reviews.
- A recurring revenue stream funded entirely by carriers.
- Better property value because connectivity is now part of your brand experience.
Everyone wins: carriers fix their indoor coverage issue, your guests get seamless connectivity, and your business earns passive monthly income.
What You Need to Participate
Most venues are already 90 percent ready. Here’s the checklist:
- Solid WiFi infrastructure. Coverage across public areas and reliable backhaul.
- Separate guest network. Keeps carrier traffic isolated from internal systems.
- Partnership with LongFi. We handle carrier coordination, security, authentication, and compliance.
That’s it. Implementation is software-based, fast, and done remotely. Your team doesn’t touch a thing.
The Bottom Line
Your WiFi network is more valuable than you think.
Carriers need it to extend Indoor Cellular Coverage.
Guests depend on it for their digital experience.
LongFi Solutions makes sure you get paid for providing it — securely, seamlessly, and without new hardware. Your network should be working for you, not just costing you money every month.
