NetNearU Announces Innovative Software Company's History
Developing Kiosk Applications COLLEGE STATION, Texas, Dec. 2,
2002 - NetNearU (NNU), an industry
leader in management software solutions for the public Internet access market,
announced today an innovative software product to dramatically increase Wi-Fi
hotspot revenues. Available immediately, the Company is now offering an
enhanced version of NNU Runtime Engine, called NNU Runtime Engine for Wi-Fi.
This software allows hotspot operators to deploy low-cost wireless kiosks in
their locations.
"We recognize that many people may not have their laptops or required
Wi-Fi technology when visiting a hotspot such as a cafe," said Larry James,
chairman and CEO of NetNearU. "Installing a wireless kiosk based on NNU
Runtime Engine for Wi-Fi opens a hotspot's available market to virtually 100%
of customers. Most wireless locations achieve immediate profitability after
installing this solution."
This is a unique solution that only NetNearU, with its extensive research
and development investment in kiosk platforms, can offer. Many competing
solutions provide a stationary kiosk, but these will not operate on a wireless
connection, seamlessly integrate into a Wi-Fi hotspot, nor have the cost-
saving features of NNU Runtime Engine for Wi-Fi. The software allows the
kiosk to be "locked down" meaning unacceptable content or unauthorized system
file access is eliminated. This greatly reduces content liability and system
management costs. By installing NNU Runtime Engine, the location operator can
also upload and rotate advertising content.
Advertising content can be managed through NetNearU's ADTRACKOS(TM)
system. The use of interactive advertising content opens yet another source
of hotspot revenues. ADTRACKOS allows advertising across an unlimited number
of locations, and advertising campaigns can be localized and categorized based
on a virtually unlimited number of parameters. Displaying advertising content
is completely flexible. It can appear in windows around the browser, on the
screen saver when the terminal is idle, or both.
WiSE Technologies is a leading provider of wireless environments based on
the Wi-Fi standard and a NetNearU partner. "WiSE Technologies is consistently
searching for the best technology alliances to further improve functionality
and ease of use," said Gary Murray II, CEO of WiSE Technologies. "We
therefore look forward to the addition of NNU Runtime Engine for Wi-Fi within
all of our locations to lower administrative costs and create additional
revenue streams through interactive advertising."
Previously, installing a kiosk with this functionality was very capital
intensive, with many wired kiosks costing more than $5000 per unit. With a
wireless kiosk based on NNU Runtime Engine, virtually any Windows(TM) based
personal computer, costing as little as $500 is now a full-featured kiosk.
The software is available immediately and costs $100 per wireless
terminal. However, if the customer subscribes to the ADTRACKOS solution to
manage their advertising content, NNU Runtime Engine for Wi-Fi is free.
NetNearU's roster of blue chip clients includes: TCG Public
Communications Inc, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AT&T Corporation; Verizon
Communications Inc.; Federated Systems Group Inc., a subsidiary of Federated
Department Stores, Inc.; Cable & Wireless; Sprint Pay Phone Services
Corporation; and British Petroleum Oil UK Limited.
For a live demonstration of the NNU Runtime Engine for Wi-Fi solution,
visit the NetNearU booth (#401) at the 802.11 Planet show in San Jose, CA,
December 4 & 5, 2002.
