One Network, Multiple Locations: Great Clips in Silicon Valley

Two Great Clips outlets separated by 15 miles in Silicon Valley operate a single Wi-Fi network. With CloudCommand, the franchisee, a high-tech executive, found a platform that meets his requirements for a business-grade solution and the Internet access needs of the estimated 70 percent of customers who want Wi-Fi while visiting the business.


  • Robust coverage blankets the two locations and extends beyond their walls to public-access areas, enabling the owner to reach potential new customers via customized login screens that can offer coupons and location-based promotions.

  • Visitors connect via the Instant Hotspot and employees use a separate, protected network that also supports high-speed credit card payment processing, remote video monitoring, and secure wireless access to a printer.

  • A friendly front-desk interface empowers staffers to manage visitor connectivity but prevents them from adjusting network settings.
  • Remote management empowers the owner to manage the network himself from an office 25 miles away, saving time and money. He can block former employees individually, track connecting devices, schedule network on/off times and more.

  • Total cost of ownership (TCO) is a fraction of what any comparable network would cost thanks to low-cost hardware and a consumer usability that allows the owner to manage the system himself.

  • Return on Investment (ROI) is based on attracting new customers and encouraging current customers to return to these locations where they know they can connect to the Internet if they are waiting for a haircut or a family member or friend getting a haircut.


Business-Grade Wi-Fi for Leading Real Estate Business

McGrew Real Estate, one of the largest real-estate businesses in eastern Kansas with $100 million of sold property annually, successfully operates like a SME by running a business-grade Wi-Fi network that supports nearly 90 agents and staff. With so much of its business involving confidential client information, McGrew adds extra security to its network with CloudCommand's patent Individual Device Authentication (IDA), which requires the network administrator to provision each connecting device individually.


  • 4 access points provide enough signal strength to deliver connectivity.

  • 75 authorized mobile devices are provisioned to connect any time.

  • The administrator identifies each connecting device by the owner name for easy tracking and accountability.

  • The easy-to-use interface makes it simple for an administrator with no previous networking experience to manage a business-grade system.

  • Business-grade features include plug-and-play deployment, enhanced security with Individual Device Authentication (IDA), and the ability for mobile devices to maintain a connection as their user moves throughout the building.
