New Installation Kits

We are preparing a wide range of installation kits that have all the components you will need to install an Internet Hotspot. The kits will save you money as they offer a discount over buying all items separately. The only other item you will need is Cat-5/6 cable to run between the PoE switch and the wireless access point. The cable requirements will depend on your installation. We plan to offer kits for the following installations.

# Motel/Hotel Hotspot  (already available, see the menu)
# Bar/Restaurant Hotspot
# Internet Café Hotspot
# Office reception Hotspot
# Small business Hotspot
# Outdoor Hotspot
# Public building Hotspot
# Community Hotspot
# Education Hotspot
# Entertainment Hotspot
# Transportation Hotspot

If you would like to see a kit added to this list then please send us an email.

New Guest Internet Products

The Guest Internet product range has been amplified with the addition of new high performance products. The new products include the functionality provided by the popular GIS-R2, and add new features like dual WAN and peer to peer file blocking.

Starting a Low Budget WISP

Are you trying to start a WISP on a low budget? Until recently it was necessary to purchase expensive equipment that could be integrated with a Radius server for authentication, an SNMP server for device monitoring and management, and use captive portal features to install a splash page. Carrier grade products from firms like Colubris have all these features but they cost a lot of money. Now there is very low cost long range equipment (less then $100) from Ubiquiti (Nanostation), Senao (EOC-3220, EOC-2610) and Compex (WPP-54). These low cost products can be transformed into carrier grade products by installing Avansu 3rd party firmware. The firmware is free and the billing and management system is low cost and paid as a service: you don’t pay if you don’t make money. Please read a presentation prepared by a technical author who has worked for many years providing public Internet access on a tight budget. You can download the presentation here in PDF format. If you want to ask the author questions then contact us and we will pass it on.

Make Money by Giving Free Internet to your Customers

Many owners and managers of hospitality businesses (hotels, resorts houseboat rentals, etc) ask us the same question: “I give free Internet to my customers right now, is there any way I can make money out of that”. Surprisingly there is a way to make money by providing free Internet to your customers. We spoke with one of our customers who does that and he told us his approach. Based on what he told us we prepared a PDF presentation that you can download here. We are sure that this will be helpful to you and hopefully help you cover your operating expenses at least.

How to Start Providing Internet for your Customers

Do you run a business that provides a service to the public, like a hotel, marina, library or conference center. If you are not providing Internet access then it is certain that your guests are asking for it. Customers who call us have a lot of questions: where to start?, what is the cost?, how is it installed?. We asked a seasoned hot spot installer to help us explain this and the result is a PDF presentation that you can download here. The author of this presentation will also be writing on our new blog (see details about launch date below) so you can contact us with questions and they will get answered on our blog.
