Netopia and Verifone Partner on Merchant Wi-Fi Hot Spots

Netopia has integrated its Wi-Fi Hot Spots with VeriFone payment systems to provide merchants with a flexible hot spot solution. The solution allows merchants to determine who can access the wireless network, how long they can stay connected, and whether Wi-Fi access is free of charge or available for a fee. And they can change the parameters of access to support marketing initiatives or respond to usage patterns. Merchants generate a receipt on their VeriFone payment system with a unique access code for each patron. Netopia Hot Spots are also the only hot spots to offer family-friendly surfing, which enables merchants to prohibit patrons from accessing Web sites with objectionable content to maintain a retail environment appropriate for all ages.
