Case Study: Passpoint Deployment at Chick-fil-A with Alta Labs & WayFi Wireless

Case Study: Seamless Passpoint Deployment at Chick-fil-A

Powered by WayFi Wireless + Alta Labs

Overview

WayFi Wireless partnered with Alta Labs to deploy carrier-grade Passpoint Wi-Fi at two Chick-fil-A locations in St. George, Utah. The result: automatic, secure mobile connectivity for guests, improved cellular offload for carriers, and monthly passive income for the franchise operator.

Deployment Highlights

• 2 Chick-fil-A locations:

  • Red Rock Commons

  • Auto Mall Drive (Bluff Street & Blackridge)

• 4 Alta Labs AP6-Pro indoor access points

• 3 Alta Labs AP6-Pro outdoor access points

• 2 Route10 10 Gbps routers

• 2 Alta Labs S8-POE 8-port switches

• Passpoint / Hotspot 2.0 enabled via Alta Control interface

Key Metrics

• Over 78,400 successful Passpoint authentications

• More than 15,600 unique users (excluding repeat sessions)

• $300+ monthly revenue per location from carrier offloading

• $600+ combined monthly passive income

The Challenge

Upgrading Guest Wi-Fi Without Disrupting POS Systems

• The operator relied on a secure POS Wi-Fi network and lacked a guest solution.

• Needed a secure, frictionless Wi-Fi experience for customers.

• Sought a monetization opportunity to justify the infrastructure upgrade.

The Solution

Dual-Network Design with Seamless Authentication

• A separate internet line was installed at each location for guest and offload traffic.

• Alta Labs hardware was deployed and managed using the Alta Control interface.

• WayFi Wireless enabled carrier-grade Passpoint functionality, integrating with major mobile carriers.

• Users connected automatically using SIM-based credentials—no captive portal, no app.

Why Passpoint?

Better Experience for Users, Better Data for Carriers

• Authenticates mobile devices using their SIM credentials with no user interaction.

• Supports automated cellular offloading to reduce mobile network congestion.

• Meets carrier requirements for:

  • Accurate and timely RADIUS accounting

  • Reliable, high-bandwidth network performance

  • Secure, standards-compliant authentication flow
