Welcome To Playa WiFi Network

Playa WiFi is a Secure Public WiFi Network, available to you when and where you need it most. We currently offer hotspots in Cozumel, Playa del Carmen, Chiquilá and Isla Holbox with service coming soon in Mahahual and Isla Mujeres.

AFFORDABLE:  Playa WiFi Network is secure and supported by advertisements for the top local attractions, dining, shopping and more, allowing us to offer our service for very low cost and in some cases, free.

SECURE: Always be sure you are on a secure network! Even if you are given a WEP or WPA key or password to join a network, anyone else on that network can potentially access your devices and information! Be sure you are logged through a secure system such as Playa WiFi and you only enter private information on sites that start with https:// and have a small padlock next to the website address.

Why Playa WiFi Network?

Playa WiFi Network uses licensed software provided by Spotngo and Aradial AAA Hotspot Radius Server Secure Technology to protect you.  Aradial Hotspot Server for wireless includes state of the art superior technology which provides all security and authentication requirements for a wireless based network to protect its customers’ activities in real time. When you log in at Playa WiFi Network, it is through secure SSL connections (the same security used by banks and financial institutions.) This security measure encrypts your login and payment data while connected to our secure server. You can verify the safety of your data by checking for the “lock” symbol on the web browser while connected to a secure server. The “lock” assures you that the data is encrypted and the web site is who they claim they are.  You can also ensure you are on a secure site by checking that you see “https” rather than just “http” before the URL (or website address – the “s” indicates a secure site.)
In addition to the high speed Internet circuits to which Playa WiFi Network hardware and software connects, built in bandwidth management (Fair Gain Technology) and policy control allows our end users to have fast service and a pleasant experience. Bandwidth management prevents certain users from absorbing more of their fair share of the bandwidth which has a direct affect on all other users.  This is a frequent issue on free public WiFi networks, where one person downloading music, movies or other large files slows down the other users.  With Fair Gain Technology, the bandwidth is divided equally among the users.
Playa WiFi Network coverage zones are seamless…regardless of where you move around physically under the same blanket, you will stay connected to the network, not an individual access point.   Login with the same account at any Playa WiFi Network location.

About Us

Our History

Playa WiFi Network was founded by cruise industry professionals with more than 50 years traveling throughout Mexico, the Caribbean and Alaska, offering a secure, roaming WiFi network for passengers and crew to connect to the Internet in the ports of call with one account.  The unique advertising-based concept benefits everyone; visitors, passengers, crew and locals register once and enjoy the convenience of high-speed, secure Internet access in multiple locations and local businesses attract customers by advertising themselves and special promotions.  We implemented state of the art licenses, billing systems and network servers to serve our customers with a menu of options. 

Our Mission

Our mission is to expand by serving our customers with safe, reliable and fast Internet service, offering a pleasant experience while connected on the go with excellent customer service and support. Our immediate plans are to finish already-close-to-completion WiFi coverage zones in Cozumel, Playa del Carmen, Cancun, Chiquila, Holbox and Isla Mujeres with service coming soon on ferries. Then, our network will continue growing throughout Quintana Roo with Mahahual as our next goal. Playa WiFi Network is using state-of-the-art, off-the-shelf technology but has also developed its own software.  Playa WiFi Network aims to become the WiFi you’ll hear about before you even knew you wanted to visit one of our destinations. It is also our pleasure to be the #1 choice for business owners looking to provide coverage within their locations, for users and with the FASTEST speeds available on our secure network. If you want our own WiFi Hotspot, nothing makes us happier than to offer truly “instant WiFi” as a pleasantly “plug and play” solution.

Leadership Team

Our Playa WiFi Network team is a combination of unique individuals with a large spectrum of knowledge covering mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering, graphic design, data programming, accounting and merchant acquisition – speaking many different languages.
