I am trying to set up an internet kiosk and hotspot for my uncles caravan park so far I have managed to findwhat I need to get me started but have so many questions. But to make a start it would be good to get an appraisal of some choices I have made or indeed a different viewpoint.
For the hotspot I have opted to use
www.hotspotsystem.com and extend the hotspot around the park with repeaters, what are your views on hotspotsystem?
For the kiosk I'm in a quandry as we need a purpose built desk with secured coin mech and pc hardware, but importantly the software that sits on the PC. There are many products on the market namely that offer an all in one software package with bandwidth monitor pc, browser lockdown and filter, pc uptime monitoring and so on such as netstop or
www.antamedia.com but the licensing costs a lot.
Alternatively we get a service provider such as
www.cyberd.co.uk,
www.paynsurf.co.uk,
www.e-box-uk.com,
www.commsport.com or
www.polkaspots.com but here I feel we may lose out on some revenue!
Also is it possible to go down the linux route and use
www.linutop.com.
As you can see Im in a quandry whilst we need the kiosk to be cost effective it must also look good and be secure both from a pc application view and revenue collection point of view.
Mnay thanks in advance for your help its greatly appreciated
