Connectivity Services Offered by Speed Touch
MikroTik-Powered Deployments

Integrated with Powerlynx, these devices become fully managed, remotely monitored nodes with centralized control over authentication, session management, and bandwidth policies across every location.
Where Speed Touch Deploys Wi-Fi Hotspots in Egypt
Current Coverage – active across 12 cafes, public streets, and the first mall Wi-Fi deployment in Egypt's Delta region.
Near-Term Expansion – the hotspot network is set to double, with new commercial and hospitality venues actively onboarding.
National Expansion – Speed Touch is extending coverage to additional Egyptian governorates, working toward a nationwide hotspot network.
How Powerlynx Helped Speed Touch Win the Damietta Entepreneurs Award
In December 2024, Speed Touch received the Damietta Entrepreneurs Award for business innovation and operational excellence. Powerlynx was central to that achievement, enabling the compliance infrastructure required to obtain government licenses and strengthening Speed Touch's competitive position among Egyptian ISPs enough to qualify for the recognition.
How Speed Touch Monetizes Wi-Fi Hotspots
Unlimited internet packages sold at a recurring monthly price, giving customers seamless access and Speed Touch predictable revenue.

Why Speed Touch Chose Powerlynx Over Other Hotspot Platforms
Speed Touch previously used Ubiquiti before switching to Powerlynx. The deciding factor was Powerlynx's native Splynx integration. The integration was smooth and rapid, allowing Speed Touch to launch and scale without rebuilding their existing tech stack.
Our experience with Powerlynx has led us to innovation and creativity in technology, as we were able to create a single solution with you everywhere and issue the first new global system for providing ISP & WISP & Wi-Fi hotspot services to serve universities, hotels, schools, clubs, cafes and public places.

Page Customization
Speed Touch can modify their splash pages directly through Powerlynx, adjusting them per location or campaign as needed.
