Helpful TRACKOS Tips:

• If you want to navigate quickly to a specific unit in TRACKOS, type the System ID in the field in the bottom left of the TRACKOS screen.
• A new wireless report is available that allows you to see how a specific location is doing. It is called the RAP Revenue Report. This is a very useful tool to calculate commissions to locations and to keep an eye on your location ROI.

Helpful Marketing Tips:

Some ideas to rapidly increase your hotspot revenues:

1. Develop Point of Sale materials at checkout and cash registers that includes instructions as to how to connect, pricing, etc.
2. Supply a regular customer or associate with a free account on the stipulation that he/she actively promote wireless and help customers set up wireless on their machines.
3. Give away a free wireless networking card if customer signs up for a 12 month contract.
4. Set up wireless terminals using NNU Runtime Engine for Wi-Fi in the location. These terminals consist of low cost PCs that have a wireless networking card included. These PCs can be set up anywhere in the location (do not have to be physically plugged into a network connection) and will access the internet via the same logon screen that wireless laptop/PDA users see. Runtime Engine for Wi-Fi allows the terminals to be “locked down” meaning users can only access the browser and restricts the Internet sites users can visit.
5. Rent Wireless cards for laptop users
6. Develop promotions and bundles for wireless access and products. Examples are: Buy an Ex Large coffee, get 2 hours of free access, or Buy 2 hours access, get free coffee.
