14 June 2004
MANCHESTER, N.H.--June 14, 2004--Single Digits, Inc., the preeminent provider of business-class hotspot management software today announced that their new hotspot model -- business-class wireless public Internet access -- is widely accepted by resellers as a business stimulator. (Please see today's related Single Digits' announcement entitled: New Wi-Fi Company's Hotspot Software Shatters Image of Ineffectual Hotspots with Business-Class Wireless Solution).
Single Digits' business-class breed of hotspot management software leverages existing hosting services and is marketed to businesses via global resellers, keeping costs low and profit margins high for their customers. The company's business model empowers individual organizations to become the hotspot owner and administrator, showcasing their specific brand on their terms with the flexibility to change the pricing structure to virtually any scenario -- accurately reflecting their specific market demands.
Resellers Underscore the Value of Single Digits' Business-Class Hotspots
Value-added reseller, Netrisen, Inc. quickly began to realize increased margins and attract new customers by adding Single Digits' hotspot management solution to its product portfolio. Jason Taillie, Netrisen's president, highlights early success stories.
"Comprehensive wireless hotspot solutions are an attractive offering to position with potential customers. However, most of our clients were hesitant to adopt them due to difficult billing and authentication procedures and having to work with several vendors to assemble a complete solution. By adding Single Digits' fully automated hotspot solution to our product portfolio, we were able to quickly eliminate these customer concerns and solidify new business such as the Marina International Hotel and Bungalows in Marina del Rey, California."
The introduction of Single Digits' unique hotspot managed software positions future, potential business for resellers by forming a solution sales approach in a new wireless industry. The public high-speed wireless Internet service acts as a forerunner to other technologies such as Voice over IP (VoIP). Manager of Business Development, George Reichenberg at DataBit, Inc. expands upon new business realized due to Single Digits' offering.
"DataBit, Inc. services customers by delivering wireless (Wi-Fi) and wired Business Class Hotspot Solutions. Our end-to-end solution includes consulting, installation, security, management, support, and marketing. We are unique, in that we provide a turnkey managed service to organizations that wish to provide their own brand of Internet access. This enables our customers to boost revenue, increase customer loyalty, and promote their core values. Leveraging Single Digits' hotspot solution, we continue to break into new markets that were not easily available to us in the past. From truck stops to hotels, we continue to realize 30 to 40 percent margins and predict a very strong pipeline," Reichenberg said.
The benefits of Single Digits' business-class hotspot solution is rapidly catching on worldwide as Garreth Scott, general manager of WiSPGulf located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates illustrates.
"Single Digits' business-class hotspot solution is an ideal value-added service for our portfolio. One of its premier attributes is its flexibility that enables us to offer a turnkey hotspot solution, tailor made for specific customer environments such as Emaar Properties, the largest property group in Dubai and the Marina Mall's food courts and coffee shop areas. Moving forward, we will leverage Single Digits' hotspots to position additional services such as email, Microsoft Office and financial applications to our Wi-Fi customers," Scott said.
