Do you give your visitors internet access?

Logging

Opening a guest network is easy; keeping it lawful is not

In Türkiye, venues offering public internet access fall under Law No. 5651, which requires access records to be kept, retained for a defined period and protected against tampering. A consumer router’s guest network does not meet that obligation.

  1. 01

    What is recorded

    Verified user identity, connect and disconnect times, device identifier and session details. Access records are kept — not the content of the pages visited.

  2. 02

    How it is stored

    Records are stored timestamped and signed. The point is that a record can be shown, when needed, not to have been altered afterwards.

  3. 03

    Who can access it

    The people allowed to reach the records are defined in writing at setup. Access requests are themselves logged — it is clear who viewed a record.

  4. 04

    How long it is kept

    For the period the regulation requires. The period and the retention responsibility are set out in the contract; if the regulation changes, the configuration is updated.

What you get at the end is not just working wifi but a written record of what is logged, how it is stored and who can access it. That document is exactly what an inspection asks for. For venues that want the whole network surface reviewed, a cyber security assessment is offered as a separate scope.

Process

Five steps from survey to maintenance

Each step has a defined output. When the work is done, you hold the map of your own network.

  1. 01

    Site survey and capacity plan

    Floor plans, wall structure, existing cabling and concurrent user counts are mapped. How many access points are needed, and where they go, is settled here.

  2. 02

    Network design and VLAN separation

    Guest, staff and any special device networks are split into separate segments. Which segment may reach which resource is defined in writing.

  3. 03

    Firewall and hotspot setup

    Rule sets are applied, the hotspot and captive portal go live, and bandwidth quotas and content filtering are configured. The welcome page is built to your brand.

  4. 04

    Verification and log infrastructure

    The user verification method goes live; access logging, timestamping and signed retention are tested end to end. Access rights are defined in writing.

  5. 05

    Monitoring and maintenance

    Access point health, log flow and traffic patterns are monitored and alert rules are set. Configuration changes are managed with versioning.

Sector scenarios

Same infrastructure, different design

Guest experience leads in a hotel, device isolation in a hospital, protection of corporate resources in an office. The deployment is designed around that priority.

Hotel

Room-based access with sessions limited to the length of stay. With front-desk integration, access opens at check-in and closes at check-out. The welcome page runs in the hotel’s branding and the guest’s language.

Hospital

Patient, staff and visitor networks are kept apart, and the medical device network is isolated in its own segment. Clinical systems are unreachable from the guest side, and critical traffic is prioritised.

Office and private company

Staff device policy, visitor guest access and protection of corporate resources are designed together. File servers, accounting systems and printers are invisible from the guest network; staff access is defined by role.

Businesses that want to hand over network and systems as a whole combine this deployment with the outsourced IT support package: monitoring, alert handling and hardware maintenance all run under one roof.

Commercial model

Fixed for 12 months · no surprise renewal

Legal logging compliance is not a one-off installation but an obligation that has to run without gaps, so the service is delivered on a 12-month agreement: deployment, log retention, monitoring and maintenance scope are written into the contract, and the agreed fee does not change during the year. At year end, device count, log volume and scope are reviewed together and the agreement is signed again — nothing extends automatically, and continuing is your decision.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Are the sites guests visit recorded?

No. What is kept is an access record: verified user identity, connect and disconnect times, device identifier and session details. The content of the pages visited is not recorded. Where content filtering is applied, the blocked category may also be logged; that is agreed in writing at setup.

How long are logs retained?

For the period the regulation requires, with integrity preserved. The retention period, the retention responsibility and who may access the records are defined in writing at setup. If the regulation changes, the configuration is updated accordingly.

How are users verified?

SMS, national e-government identity or social login can be used. Which one fits depends on venue type and guest profile: SMS often suits a hotel with mostly international guests, while e-government identity is more practical for organisations working with the public sector.

Is a consumer router’s guest network not enough?

It is not. Guest mode on a consumer device usually just shares a password; it does not provide verified identity, timestamped access records or tamper-evident retention. For venues offering public internet access, that is exactly what is required.

Can my existing hardware be used?

Most enterprise-grade devices are compatible. After the site survey and inventory, we report what can stay and what needs replacing due to capacity or lack of firmware support. We do not recommend hardware changes you do not need.

Will the guest network slow the corporate network?

Bandwidth quotas and traffic prioritisation keep guest traffic from affecting corporate traffic. VLAN separation also means a problem on the guest side does not spill into the corporate network.

How many users does it scale to?

From a small office to hotel and hospital deployments with hundreds of concurrent users. Access point count and placement are calculated in the capacity plan from concurrent user density.

How long does setup take?

It depends on the state of the existing infrastructure. A firm schedule follows the site survey; most office deployments finish in a single day. In multi-floor hotel and hospital installations, cabling and coverage work drive the timeline.

Hotspot and firewall management — compliant guest networks

Opening a guest network is easy; keeping it lawful is not

For hotels, hospitals, offices and other public-access venues, giving guests internet is not only technical but a legal obligation. In Türkiye, Law No. 5651 requires access logs to be kept, retained for a defined period and protected against tampering.

A consumer router's guest network does not meet that. Our hotspot service sets up user verification, log recording, timestamping and signed retention together.

Firewall, segmentation and control

The guest network is separated from the corporate network with VLANs — a guest device cannot reach the accounting machine. Firewall rule sets and config management sit with us; bandwidth quotas, content filtering and session policies are tuned to your venue.

Room-based access with stay-limited sessions in hotels, patient/staff/guest separation in hospitals, and device policy in offices. The captive portal is branded to you.
