Operate your own Wi-Fi hot spot

More and more Filipinos are getting on the Wi-Fi bandwagon, what with obvious benefits of being able to go online while on the go.

In the last two years, Wi-Fi users have taken advantage of high-speed wireless broadband connections at majority of the country’s popular cafés, restaurants and malls, not to mention the airport as well.

This Wi-Fi trend has given commercial establishments another opportunity to attract new customers while keeping regular ones via an affordable, value-added service.

With users continuously on the hunt for more Wi-Fi hot spots, there’s a vast opportunity for businesses to gain traffic, recognition, and affluent customers, not to mention keep up with the competition.

Wi-Fi is not just an amenity in many types of locations – it’s expected now in schools, airports, hotels, tourist resorts, and many cafés and shopping malls.

If you don’t have it, people will go elsewhere. Keeping up with e-mail is a 24/7 proposition for many workers, and Wi-Fi hot spots help them integrate Web access into their daily routines.

Fortunately, the risks and costs of starting up a hot spot are quite low compared to the possibility of attracting new customers or increasing the loyalty (and spending) of your current habitues.

Airborne Access, the country’s largest Wi-Fi hot spot network, now makes it easier and more affordable for businesses to operate a Wi-Fi hot spot in their premises.

Airborne’s LaunchPad Hotspot-in-a-Box is a turnkey solution that’s easy to set up and install.

Just plug in the LaunchPad Hotspot Device loaded with the Airborne Access authentication system to your DSL modem and you’re good to go. It’s perfect for small locations that don’t require special site surveys and multiple access points.

For establishments that don’t have any idea how to do it themselves, the LaunchPad package comes with on-site installation and configuration within Metro Manila.

Airborne will also throw in 30 free Wingspan wireless Internet prepaid cards and six Horizon starter and reload packs as part of the deal.

On top of this, Airborne will provide marketing collaterals and include the location in its marketing campaigns as a wireless hot spot.

A location’s global accreditation and exposure as a Wi-Fi Zone will also be posted in the Airborne website and in scores of hot spot lists all over the Internet.

The LaunchPad Hotspot-in-a-Box is available for only P9,900. For more information on LaunchPad, visit www.airborneaccess.net, e-mail at [email protected], or call 687-3163.
