What are the benefits?
Earn Extra Revenue
By deploying a WiFi hotspot, you can create an additional revenue source at very little cost, selling casual Internet access to customers who use a wireless notebook computer or handheld PDA.
If you are a cafe, restaurant, bar, have a shop in a foodcourt or even a car-wash, your customers can surf the Internet, send email or access their corporate network while having a drink, enjoying a meal, doing the shopping or sitting just about anywhere. NetComm's Hotspot is a wireless gateway that comes with built-in accounting, authentication and access. The hotspot connects to a modem and to your broadband connection, and will broadcast a wireless signal that provides Internet connection for up to 100 users at a time from a single location.
The NetComm hardware solution is purchased by you, so you own it and you can decide how much you want to charge your customers to access the internet and you keep all of the revenue. This is the revenue from customers paying you for internet access, as well as the revenue from that extra coffee your customer bought because they weren't quite finished yet, or the group who to your venue specifically because you had Internet access. If you are a hotel or motel, you may be surprised by the extra bookings that you get because you now have Internet access. Many travelers now select properties to stay at because they have internet access.
Advertise to customers when online
The NetComm hotspot also allows you to list web-page advertisement links and have them appear as pop-ups on your customer's screen while they are online. To maximise its full potential, you can advertise your specials or deals of the day, or even charge other businesses advertising fees for promoting their products online. You can also allow users to see up to 10 websites without having to pay. This is a great way to advertise your own property or even to sell those spots to local businesses around you and to make additional money!
