SPARK® UNIFIED SERVICE GATEWAY
A server or Virtual Machine (VM) with advanced routing capabilities. Centralised for venues with multiple sites or integrated for a single site.

We use a responsive, mobile-first web development framework for our products which detects the visitor's screen size and orientation and automatically adapts the display accordingly.
WiFi SPARK will provide you with a list of over 50 categories to choose from. The categories can be modified at any time to suit your requirements. We also have custom blocklists and allow lists. When visitors attempt to connect to a filtered site, they’ll receive a message advising that the content has been deemed unsuitable. If they would like the website unblocked, they can submit the site to our helpdesk for review.
Our platform uses IWF (Internet Watch Foundation) compliant filtering categories. WiFi SPARK is also an approved provider of the ‘Friendly WiFi Scheme’.
Friendly WiFi is a government-initiated safe certification standard for public WiFi. The Friendly WiFi symbol tells you where the service meets minimum filtering standards — particularly in areas where children are present. Approved venues and locations worldwide displaying the Friendly WiFi symbol have proved their service blocks access to pornography, images and videos of explicit content and web pages known by the Internet Watch Foundation to host indecent images of children.
SPARK® Dashboard allows access to account management and User Experience Portal content customisation. From the Dashboard, you can also access SPARK® Analytics.
- Manage subscribers, vouchers & MAC provisioning
- View usage and revenue reports and analytics
- Manage landing page redirects
- Manage content on user experience portals and landing pages
Although the SPARK® Dashboard is very simple to use, WiFi SPARK offers training over WebEx and user guides for reference.
SPARK® Standard Analytics is included as part of the managed service and provides comprehensive insight into how your guest users behave. Standard offerings include GDPR compliant insight into:
- Portal views
- Registration and validations
- Devices
- Sessions and minutes data
- Geographic location information
