Cybera believes that a hot spot is a natural extension of a wide area networking solution. Cybera’s new SmartSpot^SM offers customer-facing wireless Internet access with maximum flexibility to complement various revenue, security and business objectives. SmartSpot also provides the following features that are not typically available in many hot spot product offerings such as:

• A single connection for both data communications and secure customer-facing Internet access
• Ability to secure and prioritize business data traffic from public Internet traffic
• Full management of a professional installation process, Wi-Fi functionality, and Internet access
• Flexible access features tailored to a retailer’s business objectives
• Support for a retailer’s brand including a branded splash page and courtesy redirect to company Web site

Affordable, Secure and Managed
A hot spot should not be an additional liability. The Cybera SmartSpot solution is a smart technology investment that can be easily integrated into a retailer’s existing infrastructure. SmartSpot integrates seamlessly at any remote location on an existing Cybera SmartNetwork^SM . Because it is an extension of a SmartNetwork solution, SmartSpot does not require a separate connection. Cybera’s unique network architecture helps create a secure environment that separates and prioritizes data traffic while minimizing monthly service fees. Just like SmartNetwork, Cybera’s customers benefit from professional service delivery, proactive management, and industry-leading SLAs.

Flexible Access to Support a Retailer's Business Requirements
Hot spots should be an extension of a retailer’s brand and business model. Cybera’s SmartSpot can be customized to a company’s marketing and customer service strategy.  Key features include:

• Support of free and unlimited open access
• Branded splash pages promoting your business or a redirect to the corporate Web site
• Customized policies and reporting

Ability to Create a Family Friendly Surfing Environment
Despite customer demand, many retailers have hesitated to install hot spots for fear that customers will access inappropriate material which is potentially offensive to other store customers. Extending the robust security of the existing SmartNetwork solution, SmartSpot customers can set content controls consistent with internal company policies. This sophisticated content filtering mechanism blocks more than eight separate site categories, including pornography and violent content, eliminating millions of offensive URLs from a SmartSpot user’s view. This added level of security reduces the concern of providing the benefit of wireless hotspots to store customers.
