Paid wifi hotspots at locations with poor mobile signal for tourists and campsites
Mobile Starlink plus 4G/5G hotspots at mountain huts, campsites, festivals โ captive portal with pay-per-pass model.
Plug-and-play wifi hotspots with Starlink mini or 4G/5G LTE routers placed at locations with poor mobile signal โ mountain huts, campsites, parking at trekking spots, rural cafes, festival areas, food truck zones. User pays ยฃ2โ10 for 1โ24 hours internet access via captive portal with SMS verification or card payment. B2B partnership with venue (you host hardware, venue gets 30โ50 percent revenue) generates passive cashflow per hotspot. Entry investment ยฃ8 000โ16 000 for 5โ10 hotspots, seasonally intensive (AprilโSeptember), net profit ยฃ800โ4 000/month per hotspot in season.
UK and EU tourist market is growing strongly, driven by post-covid return to nature, growing caravan park capacity (Lake District, Cotswolds, Cornwall), trekking popularity (Snowdonia, Scottish Highlands) and the remote-work phenomenon (digital nomads). At the same time a meaningful share of popular mountain and rural destinations have poor or no mobile signal โ Snowdonia ridges, Cornwall cliffs, Highland trails, rural campsites far from cities. A plug-and-play wifi hotspot with a Starlink solution fills this gap and opens a passive revenue stream for venues without their own technical expertise.
๐ก30โ40 percent of popular destinations have poor mobile signal
Snowdonia ridges, Cornwall cliffs, Highland trails, rural campsites 50+ km from cities โ these are places where 30โ40 percent of visitors are frustrated by poor mobile signal. Starlink mini (ยฃ540/unit plus ยฃ40/month data plan) provides 100+ Mbps download in these locations. Structural gap in telecommunications infrastructure creates stable demand for paid wifi service.
