ABOUT WHOTSPOT
WHOTSPOT™ was born out of a growing
need...to easily access the Internet.
An increasingly computer-enabled society is driving the
demand for access to information. Nielsen NetRatings reports
that 457 million people worldwide have Internet access at
home. Of these, 21 million have high-speed access compared
to only 11 million one year ago.
Forecasts estimated that just the
mobile workforce in the United States alone exceeded 47
million employees in 2003. To stay competitive, small and
medium businesses are attempting to adopt computing
solutions but lack the technical and economic resources to
implement an effective Internet access solution. People who
will never be able to afford a PC have been introduced to
the power of the Internet and e-mail through their work or
their school, and once hooked, they are determined to stay
connected. WHOTSPOT will amply fill that
void.
The majority of small and
medium Business owners need to find quality vendors and
professional services to provide turn key Internet access
services to their clients. Whotspot provides the equipment
and services to satisfy their customer’s basic desire for
internet access and to generate a revenue from this service.
Whotspot provides
Public Internet access services through a combination of
Hardware, Software, authentication server and a local ISP.
The Whotspot solution provides a secure connection to the
Internet, prevents unauthorized tampering of the computer
and operating system, and restores the system into a default
state on each end user logout. The combination of these
technologies eliminates the expense and expertise needed to
custom configure an online authentication solution. WHOTSPOT
has developed a Prepaid Card system consisting of Pin Codes
printed on Scratch-off Whotspot SurfCards. Each code is
allocated a fixed amount of online access. Control is
provided by our online authentication server.
Physical access can
be provided over T1, DSL or cable modems resulting in an
Internet hosted terminal that offers functionality similar
to an home based workstation but with higher security levels
and business reporting capabilities.
Even though high
speed Cable or DSL were available in many office and home
environments, both planned and impromptu meetings in
off-site locations made connecting to the valuable Internet
resources difficult, or downright impossible.
To meet these market demands, we put our knowledge of wired
and wireless technologies, billing systems, networks
and servers to the task. WHOTSPOT developed a simple,
affordable set of solutions to bring FAST, DEDICATED
INTERNET ACCESS to a broad range of Cafes, coffee shops,
pubs, restaurants, hotels, sports bars, service stations and
other venues.
Whotspot leverages
its technical expertise to implement complex business
systems that reduce time and risk for our customers. We
recommend only best-of-breed equipment and provide
unparalleled services to maintain them. In this regards,
Whotspot can serve as business consultants to help you
establish your own WiFi Hotspot Cafe business.
30 years after the
invention of the Internet, 20 years after it's roll-out, 10
years after WWW browsers took off, WHOTSPOT™ brings the joy
of high-speed surfing to everyone, everywhere!
