Modern
marinas provide boat owners with almost all of the services that
are required for life today, with the exception of high speed
Internet access. In today's "Plugged In" world the need
to access email, the Internet and corporate networks now extends
dockside. As a result, marinas are now adding wireless Internet
hotspots to their package of services for boat owners.
In addition,
computers are now an important tool for charting and navigation
systems. Without access to the Internet, the boat is not operating
at its full potential. A recent boaters survey stated that 1 in
4 boat owners feel that they would benefit dockside Internet access.
By offering high-speed wireless hotspots, marina owners can add
a whole new income stream. MAS HOTSPOTS can install a system to
bring high speed Internet to your boat captains and their guests.
A Typical Boaters Marina Wifi Hotspot Experience Would Be As
Follows:
Relaxing on
his vessel dockside, a boat owner is spending a few days on the
water. He has chosen your marina because your web site or yellow
page advertisement listed a wireless Internet hotspot as one of
its benefits. When he first rented his slip he was given a login
access code to connect to the wireless hotspot. Your marina could
have provided this connection as a free value added service or
charged him a small up charge for the access. He opens his wireless
enabled laptop (most are these days) and hits the browser button
and logs on. That's it. He's online!
On your marina's
login page you could also be promoting additional services at
your facility such as boat repairs, fuel, supplies, charts, etc.
If you like you can also sell advertising space to local businesses
who want to promote to your customers.
If you have
read carefully you noticed that your staff has not been involved,
you are seeing more slip rentals and are possibly getting an upcharge
for the Internet access. Your business is making more revenue
with a minimal investment and your boating clients are thrilled!
After the
install we will maintain and upkeep the system.

A MAS HOTSPOT system can:
Improve customer satisfaction while increasing revenue and profit.
In the past providing high-speed, Internet access for boaters
has always been an expensive proposition. Historically, owners
had to make significant capital outlays for cabling, computers,
space and custom software. Now an owner can give access to every
slip in their marina without drilling a single hole! In fact MAS
HOTSPOTS can roll out the infrastructure in a just a few days.
Your customers can check email from their boat, conduct impromptu
meetings on the bridge or review a web site while relaxing in
the galley. You can even have custom applications and web pages
that are only available in your property!
After installation, your guests and staff will be able to connect
to the Internet at high speed without any wires! Using their laptops
or wireless handhelds, they can all have full speed Internet connection
while on your premises.
You business will also benefit from high speed Internet.
It's fast. It's easy, and It's profitable!
