Mobile Data Internet Cafes
NCSolutions in partnership with Microsoft has introduced MicroCafe, a mobile Internet Cafe all-in-one solution built on NComputing’s X300 multi-user technology that delivers the functionality of up to seven virtualised PCs using a single PC.
The MicroCafe all-in-one solution, which also includes Microsoft’s iCafe software and broadband connectivity with a cellular provider, provides a business opportunity to entrepreneurs while also possibly providing online connectivity to the under-serviced areas of the country.
The MicroCafe is available as two options: an undercover Internet kiosk for shopping centres, conferencing venues, business parks, public areas and so forth; and a fully mobile and weatherproof trailer that can be easily transported anywhere, from outdoor sporting events to rural areas.
Both MicroCafe options feature NComputings X300 terminals for multiple users and Microsoft’s iCafe software that includes the Windows XP operating system (OS) Office 2007 Professional (PowerPoint, Word, Excel and Publisher) as well as the development software Visual Studio. This software delivers a licensing option that makes the MicroCafé affordable for entrepreneurs and small businesses.
Additionally, Microsoft is bundling an eLearning solution which offers basic to advanced learning as well as basic certification which can be printed out at any MicroCafe.
Furthermore, the monitors of each terminal can also accept TV broadcasts.
NCSolutions’ MicroCafe is costs R950 per month or it can be leased via financial partner RentWorx.
