The platform
Everything a WiFi advertising network needs, in one cloud
From the moment a guest taps “Connect” to the moment an advertiser reads their report, the whole journey runs on Grandeur Connect.
Branded captive portal
Guests unlock free WiFi through a venue-branded gateway — multi-language, mobile-first and fully configurable.
Precision ad targeting
Serve promotions by venue type, city, age band, gender, visitor type and interest, with live pacing on budget.
Guest intelligence
Footfall, dwell time, peak hours and repeat-visit analytics for every venue in one live dashboard.
Venue & advertiser portals
Owners track their earnings, advertisers track their campaigns — each in a secure portal of their own.
Digital signage & TV OS
Extend campaigns to screens with Grandeur TV playlists, scheduling and remote fleet control.
Consent & compliance
Explicit guest consent, content filtering, encryption at rest and retention rules baked into every session.
Every feature, explained

Guests sign in
Visitors accept the terms, share a verified profile and watch a short branded promotion to unlock free WiFi.
03
Ads are targeted live
The ad engine matches each guest to the highest-value active campaign for that venue, city and audience.
04
Everyone gets paid & reported
Venues see their revenue share, advertisers see performance, and reports land in inboxes automatically.
The details
Every question, answered properly
No vague promises. All 30 questions we get asked — installation, the guest session, how a promotion is chosen, portals and permissions, data protection, support and commercials.

7About the company
A guest intelligence and WiFi advertising company built for African venues
Grandeur Connect builds and operates the captive-portal layer that sits in front of public WiFi. A guest connects at a partner venue, is greeted by a branded welcome screen, engages with a sponsored message, gives consent, and goes online — while the venue earns a share of the advertising revenue.
Everything runs on one cloud platform: campaign planning and creative approval for advertisers, live router and gateway health for engineers, guest analytics and earnings for venue owners, and an internal ERP covering finance, HR, procurement and field service.
Our field team installs and maintains the hardware, our operations centre watches every gateway around the clock, and our data team turns raw sessions into audiences advertisers can target by venue type, city, age band, language and visit frequency.

Our mission
Turn every guest WiFi login into measurable value — for the venue that owns the network and the brand that wants to be seen on it.
Our vision
One connected advertising network across Africa: malls, hotels, taxis, buses and public offices from a single cloud console.
Our promise
Consent-first data, transparent revenue sharing with venue owners, and field engineers on the ground when hardware needs attention.
Our journey
Phase 01
Founded in Addis Ababa
Built the first captive-portal gateway for a single hotel and proved guests will watch a sponsored message for free WiFi.
Phase 02
Venue network formed
Expanded across malls, restaurants and cafés with a standard hardware kit and a repeatable installation playbook.
Phase 03
One cloud platform
Unified campaigns, guest analytics, router health, signage and finance into a single console with role-based portals.
Phase 04
Mobility & public sector
Extended the network into taxi and bus fleets, universities, airports and government service centres.
Phase 05
Intelligence at scale
Added forecasting, A/B testing and automated reporting so advertisers optimise spend without lifting a finger.
What we operate
Six disciplines under one roof
Hardware, portal software, media sales, analytics, compliance and field service are all delivered in-house — so nothing about your network depends on a third party.
Managed guest WiFi
Carrier-grade gateways, branded captive portals and five-language onboarding installed and monitored by our own engineers.
Advertising network
One buy reaches malls, hotels, cafés, campuses, airports, taxis and buses with video, banner and QR creatives.
Guest intelligence
Consent-based profiles, RFM segments, dwell time and visit frequency turned into audiences brands can target.
Compliance & safety
Content filtering, safe search, encrypted guest data and configurable retention on every venue network.
Field operations
Dispatch, SLA tracking and spare-part logistics so a fault is diagnosed and fixed, not just logged.
Venue economics
Transparent revenue share, monthly statements and an owner portal showing guests, impressions and earnings.
Why partners stay
Commitments we hold ourselves to
Consent-first data
Guests opt in before any detail is stored, and every record is encrypted at rest.

Our operations centre monitors every gateway and raises a job before venues notice a fault.

Ownership & leadership
The people behind Grandeur Connect
Grandeur Connect is driven by entrepreneurial leadership and technology expertise. The company's leadership is responsible for establishing the strategic, commercial, technological, and operational direction of the organization.
Founder & General Manager — all Grandeur companies
MESAFINT ABRHAM KEFLEGN
Mesafint is a young Ethiopian entrepreneur and serial founder. He leads the overall strategic direction of Grandeur Connect and its long-term development. His vision is to build technology companies and digital platforms that create real commercial and social impact across Ethiopia and East Africa.
Under his leadership Grandeur Connect is built as an ecosystem rather than a single product — connecting venues, advertisers, transport, malls and public services on one platform. He brings together marketing, technology and logistics experience from the group of companies he founded.
He is the Founder and General Manager of all four Grandeur companies. In each one he is responsible for day-to-day management, financial performance, hiring key leaders and making sure the companies work together — marketing, delivery and IT services all support the Grandeur Connect ecosystem.
