Bell introduces business Wi-Fi app in Ontario and Quebec


Bell on Wednesday announced the launch of its new Bell Business Wi-Fi App, available to small business owners in Ontario and Quebec with Bell pure fibre internet.

A cloud-based platform designed in partnership with Plume, the app is designed to empower small businesses with an enhanced Wi-Fi experience that combines improved security, customizable guest Wi-Fi, employee and customer data insights, and simplified network management, a Bell press release says.

For enhanced security, the app creates three distinct Wi-Fi zones with increased protection to keep business, employee and guest internet usage separate. The customizable guest Wi-Fi feature includes a dedicated login portal.

The app creates employee profiles and tracks productivity insights, enabling managers to understand usage patterns and optimize workplace efficiency, the press release says.

In addition, for simplified management, business owners can control user access through one-time or recurring schedules, all through the intuitive mobile or web-based app, the release adds.

“We’re excited to launch the Bell Business Wi-Fi App, a powerful tool for small businesses,” Karine Moses, senior vice president of small business at Bell, said in the release. “Powered by Canada’s fastest network, Bell pure fibre Internet, it offers innovative features to help small businesses thrive. This app reflects our commitment to investing in new areas of growth and new opportunities for our customers, as we transform from a traditional telco to a tech services leader.”

“Working with our global partners to find solutions that serve them and their customers is a top priority at Plume,” said Adrian Fitzgerald, chief revenue officer at Plume. “The Bell Business Wi-Fi App is a perfect example of the service that we provide. Small businesses need connectivity, security and intelligent insights that allow them to focus on their commercial objectives without having to worry about technology. Managed networks that provide a seamless experience are crucial for all small business owners and we are delighted to help Bell achieve this goal.”
