MERAKI New Feature Alert – Prepaid cards for billing SSIDs http://www.solutionshouse.ltd.uk/2013/03/meraki-new-feature-alert-prepaid-cards-for-billing-ssids/ http://www.solutionshouse.ltd.uk/2013/03/meraki-new-feature-alert-prepaid-cards-for-billing-ssids/#comments Fri, 08 Mar 2013 15:30:40 +0000 tina http://www.solutionshouse.ltd.uk/?p=3238 NEW FEATURE ALERT – Prepaid cards for billing SSIDs

With Meraki you can easily setup a billing SSID and charge users for wifi internet access. This currently requires a major credit card, with Meraki doing the payment processing and payout.

With prepaid cards, you can create a batch of PIN codes with a user-defined value and time that can be sold to customers, or given away for short term internet access.

You can configure your billing SSIDs to accept prepaid cards, credit cards, or both. If you want to take the list of prepaid cards #’s and actually print physical cards, or stickers, you can do a Microsoft Word mail merge, using the prepaid card csv file.

You can create prepaid card’s under Configure->Prepaid Cards.

Switch On to Extricom – the Wireless LAN for Logistics http://www.solutionshouse.ltd.uk/2012/02/switch-on-to-extricom-%e2%80%93-the-wireless-lan-for-logistics/ http://www.solutionshouse.ltd.uk/2012/02/switch-on-to-extricom-%e2%80%93-the-wireless-lan-for-logistics/#comments Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:50:33 +0000 tina http://www.solutionshouse.ltd.uk/?p=3055 Extricom LogisticsThere is no doubt that wireless technology has revolutionized the warehousing and logistics operations environment in the past two decades. The advent of pervasive WLAN promised to accelerate productivity and profitability gains even further. The challenge now is to identify the right solution that can truly optimize your supply chain operations and make this promise a reality.

The warehouse environment creates serious challenges for traditional WLAN deployments. Though warehouses are typically open spaces that would seem suited to wireless signal propagation, their construction and layout can be problematic, with metal structures and corridors making coverage difficult to achieve. Other obstacles include a changing RF landscape due to the movement of goods and roaming and re-authentication issues that can impact productivity of a highly mobile workforce.

The Halliwell Jones Stadium chooses Extricom http://www.solutionshouse.ltd.uk/2011/11/the-halliwell-jones-stadium-%e2%80%93-home-of-%e2%80%98warrington-wolves%e2%80%99-chooses-extricom-to-enhance-their-fan-experience-and-generate-revenue-growth/ http://www.solutionshouse.ltd.uk/2011/11/the-halliwell-jones-stadium-%e2%80%93-home-of-%e2%80%98warrington-wolves%e2%80%99-chooses-extricom-to-enhance-their-fan-experience-and-generate-revenue-growth/#comments Fri, 25 Nov 2011 15:15:22 +0000 tina http://www.solutionshouse.ltd.uk/?p=2813 Halliwell StadiumThe Halliwell Jones Stadium – home of ‘Warrington Wolves’ – chooses Extricom to Enhance their Fan Experience and Generate Revenue Growth.

Sporting venues often bring thousands or tens of thousands of people together to enjoy a single event. These days, passionate fans are expecting more than ever to enjoy a reliable and consistent mobility experience and to use their personal devices as they would anywhere else. At the same time, stadium and team owners are looking for ways to make money, to regain revenue from their initial investment.

 Whilst traditional wireless infrastructure providers have inherently struggled with performance issues within stadium constructions or have had to develop venue-specific additional technologies, the standard Extricom solution with its patented Channel Blanket™ architecture will simply deliver interference-free connectivity and much more, as The Halliwell Jones Stadium discovered.

This stadium is not only an iconic local sports venue but in recent years has been the hub for many community events and provides a model that other leading sports clubs throughout the world have studied. Following the stadium’s re-development, Andy Topham, Marketing and CRM Manager at the stadium was looking to deploy an effective wireless LAN solution in both the North Stand at 65m x 12m and the East Stand at 100m x 15m. The East Stand also houses the club’s health and education facilities and their banqueting and conference facilities.

At the end of the current season we knew we were going to build a further new stand to complete the stadium set-up. We needed a wireless solution that was flexible, easily scalable and would remain unaffected by environmental changes. Extricom fitted the bill.”
Mr Andy Topham Marketing & CRM Manager Halliwell Jones Stadium

The cell-based units that they had been using were totally unreliable, and a permanent installation that would work anywhere in the school was urgently required. Turning to their local county council for advice on where best to find a solution, Upton High School was immediately pointed in the direction of the Extricom WLAN.  Enjoying a solid reputation for delivering reliable IT solutions in educational settings, Solutions House is one of just a few companies in the country that supplies and fits Extricom’s award-winning Interference-Free™ WLAN system.
