Public Internet WIFI and kiosks

BRHIA is among the first airports in the Middle-East and in the world to provide such a service. The service provides 15 kiosks with Internet access distributed throughout the different departure gates of the airport, and a HOT SPOT access that covers the departure and arrival hall as well as the VIP lounges.

Hot Spot or Wireless computing has made unprecedented deployment progress in recent years. Increasingly, wireless-enabled laptops have become the end-user computing platform of choice, particularly among people who travel frequently for work. Wireless computing and mobilization simplify the tasks and virtually create more hours in the day, which is especially important for the business and the leisure traveler. Airports are ideal hotspot locations: as travelers wait for their plane to depart, they find it convenient to be wirelessly connected to their company intranet or to the Internet. For travelers with laptops not equipped with the WIFI features, 15 Internet kiosks have been strategically located at the departure gates.

This service will consist on buying Internet cards, available at the airport duty-free zone, at 5$ for 30 minutes of access and 10$ for 75 minutes of access. The Internet cards can be entered in the traveler's personal laptop as well as in the computers available in any of the 15 kiosks implemented by IDM. The card is valid for 1 year. The traveler also has the possibility to pay by Credit Card through an online authorization, or to use a HOT SPOT Roaming account.
