Bundled Wireless Broadband Services

KIOSK Information Systems announces new bundled wireless broadband services offered with Sprint and Teranova.

LOUISVILLE, Colo., Nov. 6 PRNewswire -- Together with TeraNova Consulting Group and leading Nationwide CDMA Wireless Providers, Kiosk Information Systems (KIOSK) is providing a much simplified, bundled approach to wireless kiosk deployments. KIOSK is partnering with TeraNova, Kiosk Connectivity Specialists, to manage the full lifecycle requirements including testing, staging, and full on-going support and management of the wireless solution.

Mobile Deployment support services via the KIOSK / TeraNova relationship include:

Site Survey for Connectivity

Network & equipment sourcing, activations management and J.I.T. fulfillment

Router configuration (3G, 4G)

Mobile broadband card activation & provisioning

Carrier contract and order management

"By partnering with TeraNova, a best-in-class hardware and communications expert for the self service sector, KIOSK enables their clients to offload 100% of the communications logistics and back-end support requirements. Removing the barriers of in-building network deployment provides significant competitive advantage in overall cost and speed to market," said Tom Weaver, VP of Sales and Marketing for KIOSK.

The fundamental benefit of deploying kiosks with integrated wireless capability is position flexibility. Kiosk placement is an essential element in customer adoption and solution ROI, but ideal pilot positioning can be somewhat elusive. Without the commitment and expense of hard-wiring equipment, clients can experiment to find the ideal "sweet spots" that provide maximum traffic and return.

Weaver added, "With wireless functionality becoming a common requirement in the communications roadmap of KIOSK's client base, we wanted to be proactive in bundling all the necessary services to significantly simplify the process. Ease of integration for our customers has always been a cornerstone of KIOSK's solution design philosophy, and is exemplified well in this wireless product / service bundle."

Natasha Royer Coons, Managing Director of TeraNova notes "kiosk clients are able to return to focusing on their core business when the complexities of telecommunications design, deployment, and management are outsourced to industry experts. By leveraging this turn-key solution approach with KIOSK and TeraNova, customers can efficiently bridge both wireless and wireline environments and rest assured that consistent uptime and connection reliability are solidly in place."

Bill Pay Kiosk

New Wireless Bill Pay Service launched at DIA

IN THE NEWS: Info Touch Technologies launches wireless bill pay service at Denver International Airport

Burnaby, BC, August 24, 2004 - Info Touch Technologies Corp (www.infotouch.net) (IFT: TSX Venture Exchange) announced a new distribution point for its automated self-serve bill pay services at 32 Shibby-Branded kiosks at the Denver International Airport. The kiosks are co-owned and operated by RHMES Communications of Denver, CO and KIOSK InformationSystems of Louisville CO.

Powered by Info-Touch's industry leading Surfnet Premiere software, the kiosks will enable airport employees and air travelers to pay their Cricket wireless bills in cash and/or credit card as well as other post paid bill payment and financial services applications. Payments by check are expected to follow soon afterwards.

The stakeholders of the project expect to derive revenues from the convenience fees paid by consumers in order to pay their Cricket or other bills of their choice. All applications will be available in Spanish and English.

"We're always looking for new ways to enhance our customers' experience", said Tom Williams, area general manager for Cricket. "With self-serve bill pay, we're providing another easy and convenient payment option. We look forward to being part of this growing technology focused on serving our customers".

President and CEO Rick Malone said, "The Denver Airport is the fifth busiest airport in the US and is an ideal location for this sort of application due to its approximately 23,000 employees. Also, new low-cost carriers have changed the demographic of air travel and we believe that the Shibby terminals at DIA are a compelling opportunity for bill payment services".

"There is a growing demand for alternative modes of payment amongst approximately 30% of America.s population who fall within the unbanked or underbanked demographic, as they may not have a bank / credit card account or prefer cash to other methods of payment," said Hamed Shahbazi, CEO of Info Touch Technologies Corp. "Shibby is a great example of the Company's indirect distribution model where IFT can leverage its software application and monetization program without funding new kiosk infrastructure".
