BELLEVUE, Wash. – Nov. 3, 2004 – ACJ Technology Solutions Inc, a Bellevue-based provider of wireless networking solutions, is growing the number of businesses offering free wireless Internet access.
"More businesses are recognizing the value of offering free managed wireless Internet access versus fee-based service," says Greg Skinner, President of ACJ. "Paying for access at one location that doesn't work at another location can get expensive. While there's a cost to offering access for free, if used in conjunction with a purchase, this service can pay for itself in addition to growing a loyal customer base. Customers tend to appreciate this amenity."
ACJ offers a variety of managed access solutions for any size business and it works just like those offered by fee-based providers including, secure username and password access, client isolation which prevents a user from snooping files on other laptops, user access support, and user access times.
For small businesses, ACJ offers a low monthly fee for equipment and support. ACJ also includes web design of the login web page as part of the service. "This is a great tool for businesses to promote specials to a captive audience," says Skinner.
So why not buy a $50 access point and offer the service? "We hear this a lot," says Skinner "When people do this, they have no control of who accesses the network. A neighboring business or hacker can use the signal. In addition, they lose an opportunity to promote their business on the login page."
Locations ACJ has worked with for free wireless Internet access includes Overlake Golf & Country Club (members), Half Note Music, and CXO Golf (formerly Studio Fore Golf).
