Business Class Services

You probably already recognize the importance of offering high-speed Internet access to guests visiting your business. Whether you offer wireless, wired, or both types of connectivity, there is no doubt that offering such a service can differentiate your business from competitors, generate additional revenue, and increase overall customer satisfaction. It is for these other reasons that the growth in hotspots are expecting to triple over the next 12-18 months and users of hotspots, according to Gartner, are projected to increase from 4.2 Million in 2003 to 31 Million in 2007! 
 
These numbers are crucial to understanding the importance of offering a Business Class Hotspot Service to your customers. Feedback from customers and industry analysts indicate that potential users of this service are already planning their business or personal travel around locations which offer wired or wireless (Wi-Fi) services. It is very likely that if your business doesn't offer this service, your customers will find one that does. 
 
At WISPGulf, we value your business. Our goal is to deliver quality products and services required for your business to survive in the ever changing marketplace. Your business requires a service that is affordable, available, and most importantly, easy to use. 
 

Hotspot Overview
 

What you may not know ?

The IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), who is a leading authority in many of the worlds technical areas, created a standard for wireless local area networking products called 802.11 or Wi-Fi. This standard, which has connection speeds of 2-54Mbps (depending on the specific 802.11 technology used), allows manufacturers of wireless products to develop solutions that interoperate with one another, plowing the way for faster development of easy to use wireless technology. 
 
As wireless continues to grow, the ability to acquire the equipment is becoming easier. Major network manufacturers and retail chains now offer wireless networking components at low prices and with the features to enable business employees and home users to extend their network connection beyond the office walls. The wireless "revolution" is now making it possible for users to get connected in public locations as companies like WISPGulf and its Hotspot Solutions Partners (HSP) deliver their services to the marketplace. 
 

How does it work?

The Access Point (AP) is the device that generates the wireless signal and usually supports standard networking features, making it a powerful solution for connecting to DSL, Cable, or other internet connections. There are many networking manufactures that distribute these products and before you buy, make sure it follows the open Wi-Fi standards created by the IEEE. 
 
Radio cards are the network interface cards that connect the device(s) to the wireless network. Radio cards come in many form factors, the most common are those used in mobile laptops or hand held devices. In general, as long as your radio cards are built on Wi-Fi technology, they too will work with most AP's on the market today. 
 

Private and public wireless connections

The need for users to become mobile and have access to the internet is reaching new heights. Employees with access to network resources away from their desk can be more productive and home users are looking to leave the confines of their office or house to gain WEB access. The solution is private and public wireless connections.
 
Private networks are just that, private. They allow access to those who are authorized to use them. Businesses today want their employees to have access to the network but want to protect their company assets by selecting the users they want connected. Protecting a wireless network from unauthorized users is a hot topic in the industry today. Using protocols such as 802.1x, EAP, IPsec, or simply hiding the SSID (wireless network name) can provide layers of security to limit access to only those who should have it.
 
WISPGulf brings the experience to integrate both public and private networks together without compromising neither the ease of use nor the security that each demand.
  
Public wireless networking (hotspots) is the way of the future. These locations will become easier to find as hotspot integrators such as WISPGulf, help to add this unique service to businesses around the globe. Imagine being at your favorite coffee shop, a ski resort, a hotel, or even the laundry mat, and being able to quickly and easily surf the Internet.
 

How We Help You Succeed

WISPGulf provides the most powerful, flexible, and comprehensive hotspot plans for businesses. Our willingness to understand your requirements and attention to detail is what sets WISPGulf apart from the rest.  
Our "turnkey" solutions deliver all the pieces needed to implement a Business Class Hotspot:

Full consultation to understand your business and technical requirements

Customer Access Portal (CAP)

The Customer Access Portal (CAP) is the direct interface for your customers accessing the Internet. The CAP provides you with the opportunity to tell customers about your business, local news and weather, or make them aware of local businesses they may be interested in.
 
The CAP is also the method your guests are provided to enter their user credentials to gain access to the Internet. All users connected to the service are redirected to this page and can not gain access to the service unless they have successfully authenticated. Guests who have not been given access to your service will also be redirected to this portal should they connect to your network. This will allow them to view the content you have provided on your portal, even if they are not interested in paying (if you choose to charge for your service) for Internet access. 
  
Lastly, the CAP allows us to jointly offer web advertising. This can provide a unique and valuable method for local businesses nearby to reach your guests and is yet another method of revenue for your own business. Because we service a broad range of businesses, we work with you and your staff to customize each solution that is deployed.
 

Business Access Portal (BAP) 

The Business Access Portal (BAP) is also included with all of our services.

The BAP is accessed over a secure SSL connection to the ASPGulf Data Centre. Because it is WEB based, data stored in the BAP can be accessed anywhere there is an Internet connection.
