Why it matters
People leave. The password doesn't.
Secure every connection.Understand every space.
A shared WiFi password is a security risk. Every member, team and business in the building uses the same one, so you can't control who's on your network.
It gets passed on. People leave and keep it. The only way to take it back is to change it for everyone. So who's on your network right now?
For corporate security teams, shared credentials are a red flag.
essensys Platform Activate makes access individual. Every member gets their own secure login, tied to their membership. Revoke one person, not everyone.
And once every connection belongs to a person, every connection becomes a signal.

FAQ
essensys Platform Activate, answered.
When does billing start?
Your 30-day free trial starts when you activate your first site and covers up to 100 users. After 30 days, or if you exceed 100 users, it's $149 per month. Additional sites are billed when they're active. No long-term commitment. Cancel anytime. You activate a site by pressing Go live once its WiFi is set up, not when you sign up. Members on an existing site get their WiFi invitations then, and on a new site you can start adding members.
What happens if I add more sites?
The free trial covers your first site. Additional sites are billed at $149 per site per month when they're active. No long-term commitment. Cancel anytime.
What if my site has more than 100 users?
The free trial covers up to 100 users. If you exceed 100 users before the 30 days are up, billing starts then, at $149 per month. No long-term commitment. Cancel anytime.
Is there a limit on users or access points?
No. After your free trial, every site includes unlimited users and access points. You pay per site, so adding users or access points never changes your price. Some providers charge more once you pass a set number of access points. We don't.
Why do you need my card for a free trial?
Saving your card at sign-up means billing can start when your trial ends, without interrupting your WiFi. It also lets you add sites without stopping to set up billing.
Can I cancel?
Yes. There's no long-term commitment. You can cancel anytime, during your trial or after it.
How long does setup take?
New buildings are live in minutes once your WiFi controller is connected. Buildings with members already on the WiFi get a guided migration inside the product, so nobody drops off while you switch.
What do I need before I start?
Your site's name, address, size and capacity, the public IP address your internet provider delivers to the site (two if you have a backup line), the make of your WiFi access points and an admin login for your WiFi controller. Don't have something to hand? Skip it and come back to it later.
Do I need my IT team?
Only if you don't have admin access to your WiFi controller. Whoever manages your WiFi can connect it for you. Once you've signed up, we give you a ready-written email to send them, listing everything they need to prepare.
Does it work on my hardware?
essensys Platform Activate supports Meraki, Ruckus, Aruba, Cambium, Arista and Ubiquiti. Using another vendor? Follow our standard onboarding instructions.
Do I need to replace anything?
No. essensys Platform Activate runs on your existing WiFi hardware. You keep your own hardware, internet connection and network management.
What happens to members already on my WiFi?
Buildings with members already connected get a guided migration inside the product, so nobody drops off while you switch.
Where is my data hosted?
You choose when you sign up: UK and Europe, North America or Asia Pacific. The terms for your region set out where your data is hosted.
Can I see who's on site right now?
Yes. Utilisation intelligence shows how many people are on each site right now, and who they are, alongside the busy days and hours over time. It works at site level, not by floor or zone.
What's the difference between essensys Platform Activate and essensys Platform?
essensys Platform Activate covers secure WiFi authentication, guest WiFi and Device WiFi for shared devices on your own hardware. It runs on a focused version of Command for member management and Signal for utilisation intelligence, with the Ask JEFF knowledge base. essensys Platform adds private member networks, bandwidth control and bandwidth products, public IPs, full network monitoring and SLAs, the DX Score, the full Command and Signal, and JEFF's autonomous operations.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes. You can upgrade any essensys Platform Activate site to essensys Platform without replacing anything. Talk to sales when you're ready.
