Wireless hotspots are on the increase, the UK currently has over 12,000 wireless locations across the UK ranging from the larger areas such as canary wharf to the smaller public areas such as caravan sites and coffee shops. Most importantly the popularity of hotspots is growing at an immense rate, not only in the cosmopolitan cities such as London with 1,608 but also in smaller cities such as Stoke-on-Trent which now hosts 85

A wireless hotspot can be integrated into any area, inside or out, that is used by the public and will allow internet access from wireless enabled devices such as laptops, hand-held consoles and mobile phone. Letting users connect at speeds over 108 megabytes per second.

What is it used for?
The uses for a wireless hotspot are as varied as the people who use them, from students in coffee shops accessing seminar notes to business people reading downloading reports. But the internet does not have to be restricted to work use, if users wish to just pass the time whilst waiting for that haircut or MOT users will be able to browse the internet, chat and play games on-line.

How does it work?
On site all you require is one piece of equipment connected directly to your office computer. Your wireless transmitter will then emit a digital signal through your entire complex as far as you like whether this is a small shop space or a leisure complex a mile in radius.

For the end user it's simplicity itself just two clicks and the customer will be taken to the “landing page” where the choice of payments are presented. Charged by the hour on a pay-as-you-go basis users can choose to pay either by SMS from their mobile phone by simply sending a text message, entering debit or credit card details, or for those who have already have internet accounts, just simply type in the username and password. Once this is completed, the world is at your fingertips. Users are now in familiar territory and can then simply click on their internet explorer, email or games and use as normal way.

Generating revenue
In addition to increased consumption of your products services, your business will receive a substantial percentage of every user's payment.

The costs for you to host a hotspot are never what you expect, but the best part is that the hotspot will pay for itself and more so. It takes one user per day to pay for the hotspot and generate over 100% profit.
