 GCS-HotSpot and Ticket Manager

The GCS-Hotspot and Ticket Manager Systems work together to allow you to control who has access to the internet on your premises and for how long

 Increase Traffic

 Add a unique service for your customers and guests. Differentiate yourself from competitors

 Add Revenue

 Simple Setup All GCS-HotSpot and Ticket Manager Systems are configured and ready to go out-of-the-box. Unpack, connect to power, plug into your internet connection & you are ready to go! We do not need servers and other expensive network equipment so there are no monthly maintenance costs. Simple to Manage Using the web browser on your computer (Windows, Mac, Linux...) you access Ticket Manager to create user tickets that contain an access code.

 You can create different categories of tickets; for example you can offer free 30 minutes of access, good only today with the purchase of each meal, and sell 1 hour of access for $1, or an all month pass for $10. All parameters of the ticket are up to you; the price, the expiration and the amount of time allowed online. With the optional credit card software module, your users can also pay on-line directly with a credit card - ideal for areas without an attendant on duty at all times, such as marinas, campgrounds or campuses. Print the tickets on your printer and distribute to your customers and guests. Your customers and guest then connect to the network, wirelessly, through wired ports you provide, or at PC's that you provide. Using any web browser the guest will automatically be redirected to a logon page that prompts them for their access code. This logon page can feature your graphic, company logo and any messages you want to express to your customers and guests. Upon entering a valid access code, users will then see a message confirming their access, again featuring your graphics, logo or message, and then they are free to connect to the internet. After their time has elapsed they are automatically returned to the login page, where the must enter a new ticket number if they wish to continue. You determine what to charge and how long to allow access. You keep 100% of the revenue (no per user licensing fees or host fees). No Annual Licensing Fees or Maintenance Contracts required. Works with Cable, DSL, Satellite or Dial-Up

All Yours Unlike systems from large regional or national providers like T-Mobile, SBC and others, users do not have to pre-subscribe to a monthly plan - they can purchase access on an impulse. And these providers keep the lion's share of the revenue, and allow users to roam across locations, including to competitors locations. GCS-HotSpot lets you keep the revenue, and the customers.
