If you are a Skyrover (aka Hotspot Provider), you can now add your Hotspot location to the Skyrove Maps service yourself! No need to figure out your GPS coordinates and send it to us anymore. Here’s a screenshot showing where you can find Arnold’s Cafe.

To see it looks like after adding it, head down to Arnold’s for some Wi-Fi and the best Bacon & Banana Burger on the planet. Once you’re there, log into the Skyrove hotspot and send an email to info(at)skyrove.com. We’ll send 500 Skyrove credits to the first 5 respondents!

Skyrove has entered a partnership with the Pinelands Accommodation Network (PAN). The organization that grades and organizes accommodations in Pinelands, Cape Town (SA) has realized that wireless internet access is not a service that should be exclusive to hotels. Most of the over 30 B&Bs and guesthouses are now offering wireless internet through Skyrove’s fully managed solution as a contemporary and value adding service to their guests.

Nicola Morris, owner of Pine Cottage B&B and member of Pinelands Accommodation Network raves: “Skyrove has proved a huge benefit to my business, allowing my guests internet access in the comfort of their rooms. It has also proved an asset to Pinelands Accommodation Network as guests can use Skyrove at lots of different establishments within our network keeping their remaining credit from one visit to use at their next.

Our brand spanking new website will also be launching soon!

We’ve made some updates to the Hotspot Manager (the page where you set up new hotspots, set their pricing etc). The most exciting thing is that you can now add your own Skyrove Hotspots to Skyrove Maps simply by clicking on your location!
