What is TravelNetCon (TNC)?

TNC is a GLOBAL NETWORK of WiFi Hotspots where TNC clients (customer) can connect to the internet with any WiFi notebook, or other properly equipped mobile device. The TNC client is expected to purchase through a secure bank transaction a certain value of TNC CREDITS and these can be used anywhere within the TNC network until all CREDITS are used up.

What is the price of Internet connection in the TNC Global Network?

The price of Internet connection is determined by the market, although TNC will recommend a maximum rate for connectivity at 2 EUR/hour. In spite of TNC recommended maximum price for connectivity, the specific TNCspot operator will determine the hourly price of connectivity and this information will be provided on the map of TNCspot operators with the connectivity price and quality indicators. Using this information, the TNC client will determine which TNCspot he will use to connect to the Internet and how much he will pay for the time he is connected.

How do I find a TNCspot?

There are thousands of TNCspots world wide in hotels, cafes, train, bus and gas stations, sea ports and air ports, at most usual as well as unusual locations. The simplest way to find a TNCspot is to look up the country and the city you plan to visit on the TNC Map. There you will see not only the available TNC locations, but the site will provide also the quality and pricing information at the specific location.

Can I access the TNC Network internationally?

Yes. The pre purchased TNC credits enable you to access the TNC Global Network at all TNCspot locations world wide. You pay no additional roaming, or administrative fees, only the portion of TNC credits stated by the specific TNCspot operator on the TNC Map.

Does the TNC network support streaming video, video conferences or VoIP?

Yes. The TNC Global is a modern, state of the art, stable, safe, secure and robust network of wireless Internet locations which provide a convenient and high quality Internet service to all TNC clients (customers) worldwide.

How will the TNC client be informed about the incurred costs?

• TNC will issue upon use a monthly statement for every TNC client personal account.
• The monthly statement will appear upon client’s registration on the TNC Internet site.
• Should the TNC client require an official invoice, this will be mailed upon request in electronic form signed with electronic signature for official use.
• An official paper invoice will be sent to the client upon request at extra charge, which will be subtracted from the TNC client’s credit.
  Should the remaining credit of the TNC client be insufficient to cover the postage costs, the TNC administrator will inform the client via email.

Who can become a TNC licensed dealer, or a TNC licensed technician?

Anyone in the world who is in possession of a Cisco Networking Academy (CNAP) certificate, or any other comparable networking certificate, or is an authorized MikroTik dealer, or lecturer and is willing to talk to potential TNCspot Operators listed on our TNCspot Operator Site List can become a TNC licensed dealer/technician.

HotSpot System TravelNetCon.pdf 

What is the average income of a TNC licensed dealer/technician?

The TNC dealer/technician income consists of two parts:

1. A one time income for installation and instruction.
2. A 16% commission during a three year period from the income generated through a TNC Hotspots installed by the TNC licensed dealer/technician.

In the example of a TNCspot Operator’s income described above we came to a TNCspot generated average, gross monthly income of 500 EUR. The TNC licensed dealer/technician’s commission in this case would be 80 EUR. In three years the total commission of the TNC licensed dealer/technician’s income from one average TNC Hotspot consists of 2880 EUR. To this he can add the one time installation and instruction fee of approximately 200 EUR per Hotspot (see calculation of the TNC Licensed dealer/technician’s possible income in Table 2.).

Table 2, where it is presumed that the TNC Licensed dealer/technician will install on average one TNC Hotspot every week (4 Hotspots/month).

No. of Months	Installation Fee + 16% Commission	Monthly Income	No. of Hotspots
1>	800 EUR + 0	800	4
2	800 EUR + 320	1120	8
3	800 EUR + 640	1440	12
4	800 EUR + 960	1760	16
5	800 EUR + 1280	2080	20
6	800 EUR + 1600	2400	24
7	800 EUR + 1920	2720	28
8	800 EUR + 2240	3040	32
9	800 EUR + 2560	3360	36
10	800 EUR + 2880	3680	40
11	800 EUR + 3200	4000	44
12	800 EUR + 3520	4320	48

As we can see in Table 2, 32 TNCspots will generate to the TNC licensed dealer/technician on average a monthly income of more than 2000 EUR in the duration of three years. In addition, every TNC licensed dealer/technician has the opportunity to benefit from the installation of additional access points in larger operations (hotels, resorts, airports, etc…) and services.

What are the rights and duties of the TNC Licensed dealer/technician?

1. Search and contact potential TNCspot Operators using the Potential TNC Hotspot Operators List included in the TNC Licensed Dealer/Technician Manual.
2. Explain to the potential TNCspot Operator the benefits of the TNC Global Network using the TNC Licensed Dealer/Technician Manual.
3. Install and test the installed MikroTik Routerboard at the new TNCspot site.
4. Sign a TNCspot Operator’s Contract with the new operator.
5. Inform the TNC Global Center and send the signed contract from the new TNCspot Operator.
6. Keep the installation and instruction fees and start collecting the 6% commission of all TNC credits spent at the site for a three year period.

New Quick Install Manual.

QUICK INSTALL MANUAL.PDF

 

How can you become a TNCspot OPERATOR?

• You will need a broad band Internet connection and a MikroTik Routerboard, which will be provided and installed by the local TNC licensed dealer, or technician. The list of TNC certified dealers/technicians is published on www.travelnetcon.com.
• TNC will provide a standard software package enabling connection to the TNC GLOBAL network. Furthermore, in the package we include a complete accounting solution for your hotspot, a firewall and a secure environment for TNC clients, shaper, etc….
• Upon installation, testing by a licensed TNC technician and signing the contract, you will become an official TNCspot operator.
• The operation of the MikroTik Routerboard equipped with the TNC software package is fully automated and does not require human involvement.

Table 1. Depending upon the anticipated volume of Internet users (clients) at specific hotspot site, TNC offers three types of MikroTik Routerboards.

Type	No. of users	Type of operation	Price in EUR * ** (device+installation)
MikroTik RB133 Routerboard	Max 15 – 20 Internet users connected at the same time	Cafes, Fast food, Restaurants, Bed & Breakfast, etc….	90 + 100 = 190
MikroTik RB333,RB532 Routerboard	Max 40 - 50 Internet users connected at the same time	Small Hotels, Shopping Malls, Conference Rooms, etc…..	160 + 100 = 260
MikroTik RB600,RB1000 Routerboard	Max 100 Internet users connected at the same time	Large Hotels, Resorts, Convention Centers, etc…	200 + 100 = 300

* The one time costs incurred upon the installation of a specific MikroTik Routerboard include the price of the equipment, the TNC licensed technician’s fee and a simple instruction for TNCspot operators.

** The prices of MikroTik equipment might slightly vary in specific regions of the world.

What is the approximate monthly income of a TNCspot operator?

The TNCspot operator’s income depends on several variables, where the most relevant ones are the following two:

1. The nature the service provided at the actual TNCspot site.
2. The anticipated traffic of customers willing to connect to the Internet.

In a small or a medium size café, for instance, you might anticipate 150 to 250 guests coming in on daily basis in average.
Currently, there are 500 million portable computer owners world wide and another 200 million handheld devise owners. In 2007, mobile phone manufacturers will release 150 – 180 million skype mobile phones, which also require Internet support. The overall volume of wireless portable equipment is expected to grow by 25 to 30% annually world wide. Consequently, based on the results of the 2007 “Trustive Corporate Report on Wireless Communication,” (http://corporate.trustive.com) we can calculate with a reasonable accuracy that if only 16 café guests will spend on the internet 1 hour every day on average, in total it will add up to 480 hours of internet time per month. By the average hourly rate of 1 EUR (mobile operators charge on average 6 EUR per hour for a comparable service) this means 500 EUR gross monthly income for the small to medium size TNC hotspot operator. Subtracting the monthly costs for a broad band internet connection, approximately 30 EUR and the 40% administration charge for TNC the net monthly income of the hotspot operator will be 300 EUR before taxes.
The fact that most comparable service operators charge on average 6 EUR for an hour of Internet connection and the fact that the use of portable WiFi devices grows by 27% annually, we can anticipate a massive growth generated through this type of business worldwide.

What is the income distribution rate between the TNC and the TNCspot Operator?

In final analysis the income distribution is the following:

1. The TNC Hotspot Operator will receive 60% of TNC Credits spent at his site.
2. The TNC GLOBAL will receive 40% of TNC Credits.

Why the 40% administrative charge?

1. The TNC prepares your monthly statement/invoice for accounting purposes.
2. The TNC provides to every TNC Hotspot operator an operating software package free of charge.
3. Your accumulated income from the TNC hotspot is transferred to you either once every month, or every time it reaches 200 EUR (what ever happens sooner) on your account by a secured bank transfer which involves a fee we need to cover.
4. TNC covers the bank transfer fees involved in the purchase of TNC Credits by TNC Clients.
5. Your TNC hotspot site is advertised free of charge on our web page including a picture and a web address in exchange for putting the TNC web link and logo on your web page.
6. TNC clients will find your site on the TNC world map and could become your clients.
7. TNC pays a 16% commission to the licensed TNC dealers/technicians.
8. TNC pays for the technical support, upgrade, administration and customer care of the global network.

How Can your Clients Get on the Internet?

 

Your clients have two possibilities:

Step 3. The client will register as a user by giving his Username and Password (password 2x) and his email address.

Step 4. The client will enter the code printed on the TNC Voucher, the security code from the web site and he will click on the Agree with the Terms of Use box confirming his registration.

 

By providing the code from the TNC Voucher the client will actually charge his TNC Credit.

 

After the first registration the client does not have to register anymore. He can recharge his TNC Credit by purchasing a new voucher, or by using his credit card.

 

Once registered, the client can use the purchased TNC Credits at any TNCspot world wide simply using his Username and Password.

TNC Credits never expire. You can use them at any TNCspot world wide until they are all used up.

Why are we using the MikroTik Routerboard equipment?

1. During the testing period it demonstrated the best results in the development of a robust, homogeneous, secure and reliable global wireless network.
2. It is inexpensive when price and performance is compared with other devices.
3. It enables a simple on-line access for programming, upgrade and service.
4. It minimizes the involvement of the TNC hotspot operator in programming and technical matters.
5. Enables active monitoring of each TNCspot 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the highest reliability.
6. It has a standardized shaping option, which distributes evenly internet access to the connected end users and prevents jamming and bottlenecks in internet traffic.
7. It enables central implementation and management of targeted advertising strategies.
8. All TNC Hotspots can be operated through a central radius server. This technology provides reliable and secure solution for registration and authentication of TNC clients.

HotSpot-System-TNC.pdf

What is the approximate radius of a TNCspot?

The coverage radius of a standard MikroTik powered hotspot is approximately 50 meters (60 yards). Should you require the coverage of a wider area (large hotels, resorts, convention centers, etc…) you should consult with a licensed TNC technician and he will offer you the most appropriate and most feasible solution. We recommend in most cases the installation of wireless access points (repeaters).

Do I need to purchase more than one MikroTik Routerboard?

In most cases you will need only one MikroTik Routerborad to be installed at a single site. Moreover, you can use the existing wiring or wireless devices (for instance in a larger hotel complex, shopping mall, airport, etc…) and Local Area Networks. The local licensed TNC technician will assist you in finding the most appropriate solution for this problem.

Do I need to purchase a MikroTik Routerboard even if I already have one?

No, you will pay only for installation and instructions to the local licensed TNC technician.

Do I need a MikroTik Routerboard if I have another brand of router?

Yes. We would like to ensure this way the highest possible level of stability and reliability of the network.

Which operating system do I need to use TNCspots?

Most conventional operating systems can be used to connect to the Internet at a TNCspot.
