What is an e-Box?

The e-box has been designed to be a totally free standing, coin-operated Public Access Internet Terminal. It is a valuable tool for your customer and allows the user to send and receive e-mails, surf the web, send e-photos, e-videos, play games and a lot, lot more.

How is access charged?

The e-Box is fitted with a multi-coin acceptor and charges a fixed rate per minute. The rate can be set and changed by the operator.

Is it really 'plug and play'?

Every computer needs some specific configuration before being connected to the Internet. The e-Box is factory-configured prior to shipping to known locations (with known connection characteristics). Upon arrival, all that is needed is a 13amp power supply and telecoms connection.

What Internet connectivity is required?

The e-Box is designed to connect to the Internet through a conventional telephone line equipped with an 'always on' ISP, a standard Broadband link or, in remote areas without Broadband, a satellite link. We recommend a Broadband connection.

What about support?

Each installation is supported by a qualified regional distributor who will carry out the initial installation and training as well as giving on-going support. All e-Box products are supplied with a fully comprehensive two year warranty.

Can I change the content?

The e-Box is extremely versatile. The operator can set up favourite sites such as local attractions or sites of regional interest, screen savers, off-line web sites, local advertising and in-house promotional information within seconds.

How much will I make?

At a standard charge rate of £1 for twelve minutes use, an e-box will generate over £7,200 a year turnover based upon 4 hours utilisation each day. Premium locations will generate much higher returns.

Can I use the e-Box for advertising?

When not being used by the public the e-Box can promote either in-house or paid advertising. If 10 advertisers each take a 10 second slot their entry is displayed every 90 seconds when the machine is not in use. That’s approximately 3,360 individual showings a week based on a 12 hour day. With a charge of £10 per entry per week this works out at under 1p for 3 showings and could produce an additional revenue for the operator in excess of £5,200p.a.

Why use an e-Box rather than a standard computer and charge for time?
