CPDI's NetControl at Fiji's Nadi Airport Lets Internet Access Take Off
VANCOUVER, Wash., 20 March 2006
Vancouver, WA USA, 20 March 2006 -- Waiting for their plane to arrive or depart, vacationers and business travelers need to connect to other parts of the globe. Now, with prepaid Internet accounts distributed by TransTel Limited, and using the new sleek, high tech kiosks in the Nadi airport, travelers can leave the Fiji surf outside to surf the Internet inside.
Users can purchase TransTel Limited prepaid cards from retail stores in the Nadi airport. Using their prepaid account number, they can access email, check the weather report for their travel destination, or just surf the Internet from one of many kiosk terminals in the airport. By simply touching any key on the keyboard, a secure login window replaces TransTel's customized screen saver. With successful login, users receive a confirmation message with their remaining balance. NetControl rating features support prepaid increments based on minutes-of-use, and include settings for time of day and day of week, surcharges, and minimum charges. Warning messages display when the user's balance is nearly depleted. (It's up to the users to make sure they do not miss their plane while exploring the Net.)
Additionally, TransTel's active Internet dial-up customers can use their existing prepaid account number to access the Internet from the kiosks at the Nadi airport.
"The functionality is delivered off a robust and 'modular development' platform," commented Radrodro Tabualevu, TransTel's Chief Executive Officer. "The project is a pilot for the rollout of public access Internet in Fiji, which makes the robustness of the system very important."
