Compex HotSpot Solutions increase revenue for cafe/shop owners 

In the Internet era, we demand fast connection to the Internet at any place and at any time. Mobile business professionals need to gain access to the Internet to be updated, communicate with colleagues, interact with customers, and work online. Everyday users of the Internet communicate to loved ones through emails and instant messaging programs. Internet cafes have identified this growing market and set up shops to provide Internet access for a fee. These setups traditionally provide a desktop PC and an Internet connection as a service. However, the increasing mobility of people and the rising popularity of portable computing devices such as notebooks and personal digital assistants (PDA) have created a new segment of users who require only a fast Internet connection. Portable devices already come incorporated with wireless networking capabilities such as Intel Centrino enabled notebooks and radio chips on PDAs.

Internet cafes can provide another channel for their mobile customers to access the Internet by building a wireless network and deploying it as a public hotspot service. Mobile customers who enter their cafes with wireless enabled notebooks or PDAs can quickly gain access to the Internet by paying a service fee to the providers. They will then be given an access key and details to log in. A wireless network allows the most flexibility and true mobility as customers do not have to be tied down to a seat. The Internet cafe can extend its services to outside its premises to cater to an outdoor crowd.  

Compex range of wireless products provides you with the most comprehensive solution to building a wireless hotspot network. Bundled with our Hotspot application is a simple billing and authorization gateway to manage users and user access. In addition, Internet cafes can gain extra revenue by renting out wireless adapters (WL54G, WLU54G) to mobile users who still do not have wireless enabled devices. Compex wireless adapters makes it quick and painless to connect a notebook to a wireless network.
