Wi-Fi has become standard technology for
connecting to the internet and Wi-Fi
hotspots can be found across the country.
This technology has become even more
important with the surging growth of Smart
Phones. Skyboard as the 100% owner of
FatPort
the largest independent provider of Wi-Fi
hotspots in Western Canada is uniquely
positioned to take advantage of the
explosion in Wi-Fi.
Currently
FatPort has a large number of hotspots
including hotels, restaurants and coffee
shops in Canada and sophisticated software
for managing the Wi-Fi network. High
Potential Expansion targets include:
-
Retirement Homes – FatPort has a pilot
in three buildings of the largest
retirement home building landlord in
North America.
-
IT Servicing Companies – FatPort is
working with IT servicing companies to
augment their offerings to incumbent
hospitality, food & beverage, retail
clients.
-
Targeted Direct Sales to hospitals,
campuses and convenience stores.
Hospitals have
selected the option to install a Service
Gateway that enables public Internet
services across an existing WLAN
network. Hospital IT staff prefer this
model as it leaves their existing
network infrastructure intact while
adding only one network element that
enables the following services:
-
Captive portal with location
branding
-
Customer
self-provisioning and registration
-
Secure
authentication
-
Quality of
service
-
Customer billing
and credit card processing
-
Customer service and end user 24x7
