Frequently Asked Questions - PayKiosks Wi-Fi Internet Terminals

1. What is Wi-Fi?
Wi-Fi is a generic term for a wireless communication protocol that allows users with wireless enabled laptops or wireless enable PDA’s to access the Internet without physically “plugging in” to the a network connection.

2. How large a WiFi network will the terminal create?
A stock terminal will create a wireless network in an approximate 200 – 300ft radius around the Internet terminal. However, by employing PayKiosks Powerline and CableLAN devices allow the wireless network to be easily and inexpensively expanded by installing multiple access points each connected back to the terminal using either the building’s electrical wires or coaxial (TV) cable. Our CableLAN products are capable of creating complete wireless coverage in even the largest hotels.

3. How many users can use the wireless network at one time?
Up to 100 concurrent users may use the wireless network at any one time.

4. How much would it cost to Wi-Fi an entire hotel?
The cost depends on the size, layout and structure of the hotel. Typically the hardware required to create a wireless network that will provide coverage for a 200 – 300 room hotel will cost $3,000 to $4,000 in addition to the price of the Internet terminal. Because our Wi-Fi systems are scalable it is possible to begin with partial hotel coverage and expand the size of network gradually.

5. If I purchase an Internet terminal am I obligated to purchase additional wireless gear?
Absolutely not. However, most customers prefer to purchase additional access points in order to increase the size of their wireless network and thereby increase their revenue potential.

6. Do I need to be a computer wiz to operate a terminal?
No. Although some of our customers do have a technical background it is absolutely not necessary.

7. Will PayKiosks help provide advertisers for my terminal?
Our designers can provide assistance creating advertising content and loading the completed advertisement onto the terminal but it is up to the purchaser to source and secure their own advertisers.

8. How are my locations chosen?
It is the responsibility of the purchaser to secure their own locations. Our Product Advisors and support staff are available to provide advice and education in order to enable the purchaser to secure their own locations.

9. How much money will a terminal produce?
The amount of money that a terminal will produce depends completely on the viability of location in which the terminal is placed and on the purchaser's ability to operate their business.

10. Do I need to open a merchant account to accept credit cards?
No, credit cards are processed through the software without the need for the terminal owner to setup a merchant account. This greatly reduces the Internet terminal expenses as maintaining a merchant account can cost upwards of $50/month.
