We definitely recommend Art of Wifi, was a pleasure to work together.
    Lukas Matthias Bichl, CEOITConstruction
  • Our environment falls between enterprise and small business so the big name players have big budget licensing costs. Art of Wifi was crucial in providing us with a professional captive portal and giving our Unifi environment similar functionality to our Meraki one. The support is fantastic and Erik has been very prompt in sorting out the few issues we've had.
