For stadiums, outdoor events, venues and businesses
Passpoint WiFi: Strong Phone Service for Big Crowds
When thousands of people show up, cell towers choke. Calls drop, texts stall and card readers time out. Passpoint WiFi on the Helium Network moves phones onto your Wi-Fi automatically, with no login and no password, so your guests stay connected and your event keeps running.
Included at no extra cost with RETNetworks business fixed wireless plans.
How It Works
Passpoint (Hotspot 2.0) is the carrier standard that lets phones join trusted Wi-Fi the same way they join a cell tower.
1. We install the Wi-Fi
Your RETNetworks business fixed wireless plan powers Passpoint-ready access points at your venue, or we enable the equipment you already have.
2. Phones connect on their own
Carrier phones on the Helium Network roam onto your Wi-Fi automatically and securely. Guests do not search for a network or type a password.
3. Everyone stays connected
Calls, texts, social posts, ticket scans and mobile payments keep working even when the nearby towers are overloaded.
Built for Places Where Crowds Gather
Stadiums and arenas
Game day packs tens of thousands of phones into one place. Give fans signal for posting, streaming replays and mobile tickets.
Outdoor events and festivals
Fairgrounds, concerts, races and markets often have no wired internet at all. Our fixed wireless gets you online and Passpoint keeps attendees connected.
Venues and event centers
Convention halls, wedding venues and theaters can fix dead zones without new towers or costly in-building cell systems.
Hotels, campgrounds and RV parks
Guests connect without asking for the Wi-Fi password, and coverage reaches places cell signal does not.
Vendors and pop-ups
Card readers and point-of-sale systems keep processing when the crowd overwhelms the cell network.
Any busy business
Restaurants, gyms, offices and clinics with weak indoor signal can give every visitor better phone service.
