Retail Centers
In the retail industry, the consumer is king. Offering a public wireless Internet service is very useful in capturing their attention as well as directing their buying habits.
However, retail managers are also learning that the wireless network can be leveraged in other ways, including:
- Video surveillance
- Security access and reporting via wirelessly-enabled handheld devices
- RFID for personnel and equipment location
- Offering broadband to kiosk vendors
In order to exploit these advantages, it is critical that the wireless network be flexible, scalable, and secure.
Unlike many competitive offerings, the Single Digits Wi-Fi solution was designed from the ground up and with the needs of the retail industry in mind. Our extensive industry expertise has resulted in a broad portfolio of highly flexible product and service offerings for wireless network design/deployment, management, and technical support.
We firmly believe that deploying a Guest Internet service should not require you to give up a stake in your business.
The Single Digits offering is based on fixed fee pricing – after all it is Your Business, it should be Your Internet.
A Wi-Fi solution from Single Digits provides the following features and benefits for shopping malls and other retail centers:
- Flexible Rate Models – Single Digits Wi-Fi solution allows you to decide whether or not to charge for the service, who to charge, how to charge, and where to charge. For example, you could offer a free low-speed service for shoppers and a fee-based high-speed service for tenants and kiosks.
- 24x7x365 End User Support – With Single Digits Wi-Fi solution, no IT knowledge or resources are required as 100% of user support calls are handled by our technicians – freeing up you and your staff to concentrate on other priorities.
- Real-Time Network Monitoring – Single Digits Technical Support Services also provides 24x7 network monitoring to ensure that your service runs smoothly. Our engineers keep a vigilant eye on the health of the network through redundant NOCs (Network Operating Centers).
- Scalability – The flexibility of the Single Digits service gives you the option of starting small and expanding only when it makes sense. Scalable and phased deployments are easy using our network design and deployment service, allowing you to determine the ROI and feasibility of future expansions.
- Security - Single Digits utilizes industrial grade security features to protect consumer’s private information. In addition, advanced peer-to-peer security and authentication tools ensure that public Internet traffic is kept completely separate from your private internal network.
- Additional Value Opportunities – The Single Digits Business Access Portal can also generate additional value for your retail center. For instance, you can collect valuable consumer demographic data, create brand awareness, generate revenue by selling gift cards or merchant advertising, and much more.
- Service Control – Single Digits Business Access Portal solution provides you with the necessary tools to drive the service at your retail center. This includes the ability to make changes to the CAP (Customer Access Portal or landing page), adjust rates and bandwidth, review reports on activity or revenue, and many other valuable functions.
