Check social WiFi plan capacity

Compare your intended usage with the actual units and limits in a provider’s plan.

First, the useful part

Start with the decision.

A plan limit is only useful when its unit is clear. Logins, contacts, locations and campaign sends describe different kinds of capacity. Read the current plan documentation and ask how the provider counts repeated activity and handles a reached limit.

Put it into practice

Three moves to make.

  1. List the units

    Record the capacity categories relevant to your venue. Use the provider’s exact definitions instead of translating every limit into “customers.”

  2. Build a range

    Estimate a low and high usage case using your own observations. Separate assumptions about visits, login participation and repeated sessions.

  3. Ask about the boundary

    Confirm what happens at the limit, whether an upgrade is required and whether any extra charges apply. Save the current written answer with your evaluation.

An illustrative example

What it could look like.

A one-location pilot and a multi-site rollout need different planning. Even if the pilot fits a free plan, the wider rollout may require a different capacity or feature set. Link the estimate to the current pricing page before making a commitment.

Before the next move

The final check.

Revisit the estimate after the pilot using observed counts and the same definitions. Update assumptions before adding locations.

The detail that matters

Do not describe a limited free plan as unlimited service or treat a free trial as free forever.

Where should I confirm VoqadoWiFi allowances?

Use the current pricing page and confirm any uncertain requirement before rollout. Capacity planning does not replace the published plan terms.
