A uMngeni Municipality initiative

Powered by partnership. Funded by advertising.

uMngeni Wi-Fi is delivered through a partnership between Mi-WiFi, uMngeni Municipality, AtomGate and Love Howick, and funded entirely by local businesses and corporates advertising on the network. No cost to residents.

Who makes this possible

Proudly brought to you by Mi-WiFi, delivered in partnership.

uMngeni Wi-Fi is a uMngeni Municipality initiative brought to life by a partnership built to design it, deliver it, and run it on the ground.

Mi-WiFi

Solution provider: the network, captive portal and advertising platform behind every site.

uMngeni Municipality

The host municipality, bringing free public Wi-Fi to its residents.

AtomGate

Delivery partner, supporting the rollout and operation of the network.

Love Howick

How it's funded

Every login includes a moment of local visibility.

See it in action

The screen every user sees first.

Before anyone gets online, they land here. For a few seconds, your brand has their full, undivided attention. This is the exact login screen shown at every uMngeni Wi-Fi hotspot, on every device. Try it: tick the box and connect.

The panel in the middle of the screen is where your logo appears, right where every user's attention lands before they connect. It's swapped per site or per campaign, and every view, tap and connection is measurable.
