How it Works

System Details

Hardware/Software

Each Hearing HotSpot system consists of a software license and hardware specifically configured for each customer venue, based on how the system will be used. This approach allows Williams Sound to scale the system from small to very large venues, with customers paying only for the components they need.

Pricing

Hearing HotSpot system pricing is based on the following factors:

Number of audio sources/channels (up to 32 per server box)
Wi-Fi coverage (physical space and number of expected users)
Installation requirements (centrally located AV or dispersed)

Portal Access/Software Maintenance

A modest, annual fee for software updates will ensure portal access for venues to manage their own in-app content and smart device compatibility. This is a flat fee (not based on system size), and will be first charged at the beginning of Year Two.

Content Portal

Not only does the Hearing HotSpot provide a revolutionary listening experience to customers, it offers the participating venue an extraordinary opportunity to improve customer retention, grow engagement and drive revenue.

Connect with customers like never before. Take advantage of the truly unique software portal that is part of each Hearing HotSpot package. This easy-to-use interface provides each venue with the creative power to customize in-app messaging and advertising for its target audience.
