What is a Wireless HotSpot? 

"Hotspot" is the "cool" term for public spaces equipped with wireless Internet access. Or in other words, a place where you can connect to the Internet with your own Wi-Fi, or wireless-equipped device, such as a notebook computer, without cables. Of the estimated 150 million laptops, 14 million PDAs, and other emerging Wi-Fi devices sold per year, most now include the Wi-Fi feature as standard.

A Wireless HotSpot is a wireless network that connects you to the internet.  That is a Local Area Network (LAN) that replaces wires and cables with radio frequency (RF) connections. Wireless networks have a relatively small coverage area, between zero and 100 metres per radio transceiver depending upon the surrounding building structure.

HotSpots are often found at restaurants, train stations, airports, libraries, coffee shops, bookstores, fuel stations, department stores, supermarkets and other public places. Many universities and schools have wireless networks in their campus.

For venues that already have a broadband internet connection, offering wireless access is as simple as purchasing one of our wireless access point devices. It is an easy way to turn an existing expense into profit.

Accept cash payments or give free access

You can take cash payments from your customers and automatically generate user accounts using the included Account Generator Docket Printer.  The customer simply comes to your counter, requests a certain amount of time, and you take their payment.  Then you simply press one of the buttons on the account printer and it automatically issues the customer with a username and password.

Typical customer process for a Wireless HotSpot

Up to 3 different plans can be assigned to the account printer.  You can have multiple printers throughout your premises, however they must be connected back to the HotSpot device.

Who uses Internet HotSpots?

Our wireless internet hotspots are being used around the country in hotels, resorts, caravan parks, cafes, shopping centres, cinemas, and a variety of other public places and businesses.

Wireless Internet access is in high demand by backpackers, travellers, families, students, and business people on the move who rely on the Internet as a vital line of communication and entertainment.

Is it easy to setup?

Yes.  And when you buy a HotSpot from Arinda we configure it for you, and ship it to you ready for immediate operation.  All you need to do is plug it into your internet connection.

What about the internet connection?

If you already have a broadband internet connection at your site then you can simply setup the Internet Terminal to securely use your existing connection. However, you must check with your current ISP to ensure that they allow you to onsell and share the internet connection.  Most ISPs either do not allow you to resell the internet, or they require you to pay additional charges.  If your current ISP does not allow you to onsell the connection then you should consider our internet plans.

If your site does not already have an internet connection then we can provide the connection for you - we are a full-service Internet provider, providing broadband ADSL internet connections! For a basic site we recommend a broadband internet connection of at least 256kbs downstream bandwidth, with at least 3GB of monthly downloads. However, the faster your connection, the more likely customers are to return time and time again, and the higher the price they will be willing to pay.
