"AirTight's Cloud Services allow restaurants, hospitality venues and retailers to expand their relationship with customers with Wi-Fi based, value-added services such as customized content and e-coupon special deals," said Jack Torgow, Vice President of Sales for AirTight. "The captive portal and walled garden capabilities give merchants a way to expand their interaction with guests by providing opt-in localized content, creating loyalty programs and garnering in-store customer feedback, all of which are incentives to keep the customer coming back and in the store for longer periods of time."

Recent studies have shown that 80.5% of respondents prefer retail stores with Wi-Fi versus those without it, 65% would take advantage of Wi-Fi for various reasons and 53% are willing to share their location to receive more relevant content and promotions.(1)

"The combination of simplicity of deployment, ease of use, and a price point that is unmatched in the industry, combined with the best wireless security, makes Cloud Services the right choice for organizations who wish to deploy wireless now or in the future. The services offer a radically less expensive alternative to any competitive solution available today," continued Torgow.
