"In addition to giving our customers free access to popular Internet content, it provides us with a great opportunity to connect with our customers in a new way"

Bob Mendes, McDonalds restaurant franchisee

The Web Station™ allows users to simply walk up to the Web in banks, shopping malls, retail locations, transit hubs, cafes and places of interest and uses a customised browser to ensure secure access to the Internet, email, eBanking and eGovernment services, among others.

The Web Station™s availability in places of interest to engage users at the point they are most likely to conduct retail transactions, book tickets, or make purchase queries, allows it to deliver online services that can be personalized to users based on their queries and location in high traffic areas.

The Web Station™'s popularity with users led the company to design and develop a compelling technology for businesses to capture unique profiles and browsing history of visitors to their websites. The Web Station™s unique matching technology then allows businesses to filter customer needs and deliver targeted location based ads to users.

The Web Station™ connects to the Internet using multiple WiFi, Ethernet and EDGE interfaces. Customers can remotely manage the Web Station™s via the StreetPartner™ network manager to monitor usage patterns, user behaviour and measure results to ensure deployment objectives are measurable.

Unique Design

The Web Station™ was designed by IDEO, the world's leading industrial design house, to be compact, inviting, and fit cleanly into a wide variety of environments. This clearly distinguishes it from conventional pay-per-use "Internet terminal". Its rugged build is optimised to provide maximum uptime in high traffic user frequency environment and is especially suited for retail environment and public spaces with high-foot traffic.
