❓ Frequently Asked Questions
2nd Element Wireless – Turn Your Internet Into Passive Income
🧠 What exactly does 2nd Element Wireless do?
We install a carrier-grade Wi-Fi 6 access point at your business. It enables mobile phones to connect automatically through Passpoint, a technology designed for seamless, secure connectivity.
When customers walk into your business, their phones connect instantly — and their mobile provider pays you for handling the traffic.
📡 Why do carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile want this?
Carriers are constantly looking for ways to improve coverage and reduce load on traditional cell towers, which are:
- Expensive to build and maintain
- Limited in capacity
- Poor at penetrating buildings
- Restricted by zoning laws
Offloading to Passpoint-enabled Wi-Fi gives them better coverage and lower costs. They’d rather pay you than deploy another tower.
💰 How does my business earn money?
When mobile users offload their traffic through your new Wi-Fi Hotspot, carriers compensate us, and we pay you.
The more foot traffic and activity, the higher the earning potential.
You’re essentially renting out unused internet capacity you already pay for.
🔐 Is it secure?
The Hotspot’s carrier‑grade transmissions use WPA3 encryption and certificate‑based authentication —no passwords to steal— and strictly isolates devices to block cross‑device attacks. It also prevents internet traffic from reaching your internal network, and its public captive‑portal access (optional and off by default) is fully segmented with client isolation. In short, it delivers far stronger security than a typical ISP router.
🚀 What is Passpoint?
Passpoint (also known as Hotspot 2.0) is a carrier-backed standard for secure, automatic Wi-Fi connection.
It was designed by the Wi-Fi Alliance with input from major telcos like AT&T and T-Mobile.
Think of it as Wi-Fi that works like a cellular signal — users don’t have to log in or enter passwords.
