Wi-Fi vending machine, a self-service internet hotspot

Listen to article

Vending machines can dispense chips, chocolates, sodas, water, coffee, and many more. We even had charging kiosk at malls and convenient stores plus piso-internet machines for cheap PC rental. This time around, why don’t we aim higher. I’m talking about this Wi-Fi vending machine we saw online.

This Wi-Fi enabled machine can give you instant Wi-Fi hotspot for as low as Php 1. It uses an IEE802.11 b/g/n compatible router at 2.4Ghz band.

We also found a demo on how to use the machine:

The process is simple. You insert a coin to the machine and it will issue a receipt containing your username and password for the login portal.

Wi-Fi rates are as follows:
Php 1 = 5 minutes
Php 5 = 25 minutes
Php 10 = 50 minutes

The business costs Php24,999 to start and has the tagline “Isang hulog, log-in agad sa Internet. Kada hulog, ang kita mo – kabog!”. The said Wi-Fi vending machine is distributed by AGN Solutions.

Thanks Lloyd Lopez for the tip!

Consumable po ba itong piso-wifi?

JO
joms · 9 years ago

Hindi sya consumable..for example 1hr use ka then 15mins palang nagagamit mo then need muna umalis..logout ka lang sa wifi then pwede mo i continue yung 45mins some other time na free ka ulit.

How does this work? Dependent din ba ito sa location? Sa province sana ilalagay. Gusto ko sana subukan. Pero yung paglalagyan naming place, hirap siya kumuha ng signal sa smart & globe (I haven’t tried sun, yet).

dapat siguro wired dsl gamit mo dito. feasible to kung may magandang location ka like canteen, coffee shop, food court or any place na matao.

PH
Phillip · 12 years ago

The actually justifies it. PERO crucial ang location mo nito, dapat sa madameng potential mag-avail. Advantage nito (kung negosyante ka) vs pisonet, dito pwede ang multiple customers at a time. Imagine 10 people connected for 1 hour simultaneously, edi 100 na agad yun sa isang oras. PERO ulit, crucial din internet connection mo. Best internet plan siguro dito 5mbps pataas, again, considering na madameng potential customers that would justify the monthly cost of your ISP.

Let’s just say na nawala ang connection mo from the isp. Paano magrerefund ang mga customer samantalang walang internet pero may wifi so tumatakbo ang timer na walang internet.

tama ka. sa pisonet kahit ako mismo naiinis minsan sobra bagal ng net nasasayang pera kakahintay ng load ng pages so kung magdagdag pa ako nyan baka puro mura abutin ko sa customers ko… ang mahal pa 25k, bili na lang ako malakas na pisonet unit mas masisiyahan pa yung customer kesa maki-wifi… ok lang yang mga idea na yan sa mga tambayan ex nagkakape o naglalasing pero most establishments give free wifi…

Melbert D. Salamat · 12 years ago

yup, too much expensive. ako less than 11K lang ginastos ko. same concept lang din, pero not hulog piso, i owned ka comp shop, so if gusto mo bumili ng load, pay 15 pesos sa counter for 2 hrs, then mag generate ng code ang PC ko, then i print nya, then login mo na, consumable pa, if 30 mins lang nagamit mo sa 2 hrs, you can use the code parin on the next day or next month as long na hindi pa ubos :) available code is 15 = 2 hrs, 25 = 5 hrs, 100 = 5 days, 300 = 30 days, 500 good for 2 devices for 1 month

. malaki pag kakaiba nito sa unlisurf mga peeps, ur using wifi syempre. mas mabilis kesa gumamit ka ng signal ng simcard mo. sa akin ang max bandwidth na pwede mo makuha is 3mbps so i compare mo yan sa unlisurf na super bagal. additional to this. ang radius ng wifi ko is 300 meters, sakop nya 2 streets sa area ko :). and pwede ako mag wifi hosting meaning pwede ako mag supply ng internet via repeater sa mga bahay na sakop ng 300 meters. no need for the code, mac address lang kailangan ko, after 30 days, disconnected ka sa system ko. so need mo ulit mag bayad sakin and re-activate yang mac address ng pc mo or devices mo :)

The only downside that I think is that they’re still dependent on our local ISPs which sometimes randomly drops the connection. Kaya pag na chempuhan mong wlang internet tapos nag hulog ka ng 10 pesos mo eh bye bye k nlng. Hahahaha
