Fund the Global Public Wi-Fi Tracker 2026–2031

The most comprehensive Wi-Fi hotspot database on the planet — and we need your help to update it.

Why This Research Matters

Public Wi-Fi infrastructure is the invisible backbone of digital economies worldwide. Whether you're an operator planning network expansion, a vendor targeting vertical markets, or an investor sizing wireless opportunities, you need accurate, granular data. And right now, that data doesn't exist in one place.

What We're Building

The Global Public Wi-Fi Tracker 2026–2031 is a multi-year research dataset covering Wi-Fi hotspot counts, forecasts, and operator-level breakdowns across 37 countries — from the U.S. and Brazil to Japan, Nigeria, and the UAE.

Coverage includes 8 venue verticals: Hotels · Cafés & Restaurants · Retail · Shopping Centers · Healthcare · Airports · Airplanes · Trains

Deliverables include:

• Hotspot forecasts by operator, by country
• Split between homespots and public hotspots by operator
• Broadband line forecasts by operator by country
• Homespot breakdowns by vertical and by country
• Regional public hotspot forecasts (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia, MEA)
• Full methodology document explaining sources and assumptions
• Delivered as Excel data sheets + PDF explanations

Our Methodology

We don't scrape. We research.

1. Collect — Primary data from telecom service providers and venue operators
2. Build — Forecasts grounded in technology roadmaps and business trajectories
3. Cross-check — Validated against vertical-specific data sources

The result is a dataset you can trust — and cite.
