AeONsafe Grows Retail Communities

Business managers understand the 80/20 rule - 80% of revenues from 20% of customers. The challenge is to build loyalty with this core community. AeONsafe delivers unique, managed services for venue community growth.

Wireless Services at Retail Venues

Nationally, 50 million laptop users visit public venues at least once a month. The trend to work, play, meet, and relax in public venues is growing. Millions of cell phones use Wi-Fi for faster downloads. Wireless access is a necessary part of the venue ambiance.

A new breed of retail owners and operators have discovered the attraction of wireless technology. By providing wireless access in their coffee, food, drink, or dessert venues - they gain loyal customers who eat, drink, meet, and work at their favorite venue. This core community - directly or indirectly by inviting friends, family, and associates - account for the majority of a venue's revenues.

Installing Wireless

Adding wireless services is simple. Order broadband like DSL or cable and install a WiFi access point. Most home owners have already installed WiFi and it is as simple to install at a retail venue.

Operating issues are no more complex. At worst, providers reset the power on the WiFi access point once a month. Over 50 million households have already installed and operate their own wireless network.

Wireless is as simple as installing and operating phones.

AeON Managed Services

Un-managed, un-restrained wireless services has prevented the majority of venues from deploying services. For example, when 80% of customers are served in the one-hour lunch period, un-managed wireless use could crowd limited tables during these peak hours.

AeON delivers unique services that solve problems - while growing the core community for each venue.

• Venue Portal - Users at venues are greeted by a venue portal page that contains the local news; venue pages such as specials, coupons, regular menu, take-out menu, and other announcements; and sponsorship ads. The service is free to venue owners. (See sample venue portal)
• Secured Wireless - Existing technology provides unsecured wireless at public venues. Users share naked text - which is a risk. AeONsafe^TM is the only secured service for public venues. Venues choose AeONsafe for their customers to show respect for their privacy concerns. The patented, private-key service from AeONsafe is free. (Learn more)
• Access Control - Users register once. Email is not required to respect user privacy. Sign-in at AeONsafe venues is automatic. Venue operators have an automatic database of their best customers. This database service is free.
• Peak Hour Control - The venue operator can choose to set policies that restrain or restrict wireless use during peak business hours. The policies are set once, can be easily changed, and automatically managed by the unique AeONsafe technology. This service is free.  (See sample alert)
• CamelBlock^TM - Wireless is shared among users. Access performance depends on the "slowest camel in the caravan." A user who is 5 shops away could slow the network for in-store users by 98%. AeONsafe's CamelBlock stops these remote users. It's unique and it's free.
• WallBlock^TM - Wireless penetrates walls. Users in the competing venue next door could access the wireless network. The unique AeONsafe service detects users next door and invites them to your venue - if they wish to continue using the wireless. The service is patented, unique, and free. (See sample alert)
• JavaBreak^TM - The AeONsafe service offers an optional timer that invites users to take a commercial break on a 15, 30, or 60 minute intervals. It's free.
