Top quality Internet service

Independent of the reasoning and motivation behind the strategy to offer access to Internet, it is important that the service is functional and professional.

Unfortunately bandwidth is still expensive and a scarce resource that need to be shared among users in a controlled fashion. In our networks the traffic control features, makes sure that you can define the service levels and priorities that suit your needs.

We will illustrate how this improves the quality of your service, and how it can easily become a source of revenue or just make sure you don't gain badwill from offering bad internet services.

Finally, quality is not only related to bandwidth and latency, it is also dependent on things like - how often do you have to login or how easy to use are the diffreent functions?

Quality of service....what does it mean?

Let us explain what we mean by qouting a joke heard in the bar of a five star hotel in Amsterdam (not using Amazingports):

noQoS

- Do you know why paying for dial-up is better than free Broadband?
- No ?!
- Because it is faster!

This joke illustrates a problem that the hotel experienced having a 4Mbps connection.

Needless to say even the German autobahn gets clogged up when too many cars come along.

Solving this problem requires control over quality of service, something that Amazingports makes simple and easy to manage, actually even turning it into a source of revenue having smart pricing strategies

How many times does your guest have to login before it is bad service?

Another hotel chain we know of uses a competing solution that turns your stay at the hotel into a login frenzie: As the reception can not provide the guests with an internet access voucher adapted to the length of the stay, they are obliged to sell a "bunch" of day/night and week-end vouchers to provide access for a week. Unfortuantely their system also forces the user to login every 6 hours with a 16 charachter long random code....

Using Amazingports, a local reception, a cafeteria or an internet cafe can provide the customer with an offering adapted to the customers needs.

We are also proud of a number of other features that simplify life for the average network user:

For end-users with small screens like PDA's - the system detects the small screen and serves the user pages specially adapted for small screens.
Not all users prefer english, our system automatically detects the users language preference and if possible provides pages in that language. (If the system is wrong - the user can choose his own favorite)
Entering a voucher code, numbers are grouped to make it easier to read and write them. For the users convenience the system automatically removes any white space when entering codes.
Buying with a credit card, the user does not have to remember his voucher code - it as automatically used. Compare this to some of our competitors where the user have to remember a long an complicated user name and password to be able to use the service, and additionally enter it several times...
Remembering weird 16 character alfa-numeric usernames and passwords is hard. In AmazingPorts systems, the user can choose his own login name and password, thus making it significantly easier to login/logout.
One time users does not have to use username and password at all! Pay and go in a nutshell!
In any location the local retailer can sell vouchers and access products ranging from 1 minute to 1000 years. This significantly improves customer service as the user only has to enter one voucher once - the rest is automatic!
If you have several hotspots the user does not have to login when moving between these networks - but you can still easily apply different QoS regimes on each one of your networks. Some people call this seamless roaming, as special toping on the cake we do not base our roaming solely on the client MAC (hardware ID) as most of our competitors do, this significantly improves security.
All functions in AmazingPorts systems are based on the idea that they should work for all, that is why no software has to be installed. Users using Windows, Linux and Mac can all connect and profit from the same easy to use service.
