3C
Communications and KubiWireless:
Partners and pioneers of Wireless Internet Access in Spain.
Under
the support of companies like Intel, HP and Cisco, wireless
communications is gaining popularity, especially among the
professionals that previously were sitting in the hotels and
airports losing their valuable time.
KubiWireless
is deploying the first wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) network in Spain,
to provide business travellers hotspots with high speed internet
access in hotels, airport lounges and convention centres.
Today, KubiWireless has over 100 operational hotspots and
plans to have over 150 before the end of the year.
The
KubiWireless customers have different ways of paying for the
Internet access service, but the preferred method is introducing
a credit card number in a welcome page. The credit card payments
need to be fully integrated with the web page but also be
fast, reliable and, of course, highly secure.
3CWiFi
from 3C Communications provides KubiWireless all the features
mentioned above and, together with the acquiring bank, a very
competitive fee to process the credit card transactions and
local service all over Europe facilitating the international
expansion of KubiWireless.
If
you travel through out Spain and need wireless access or just
want to take a look at a successful company, we invite you
to visit: http://www.kubiwireless.com

New
banking interface established with CartaSi, Italy.
For
many years CartaSi has been a leader in the market of credit
cards issued by banks. In 2002 the number of active credit
cards has reached 7,5 milion, equal to a 37% of the total.
Today, CartaSi is the most widely used credit card in Italy
(over 880 member banks) and is accepted all over the world,
thanks to its connection with international networks such
as Visa and MasterCard.
Based on such leadership position of the Italian Company,
3C Communications has recently established a payment interface
with CartaSi which will enable 3C to break into the Italian
market with a greater impact.
In fact the large number of institutions present within the
network will lead to many advantages and contacts with just
a single agreement.
Actually through CartaSi, you can carry out transactions not
only with the above mentioned MasterCard and Visa, but also
with other cards such as JCB and, starting from September
2003, also with American Express.
This latest agreement will enable 3C to process in Italy about
80% of the total transactions and to become the protagonist
within the market of integrated payments.
