What is a value added service?

According to investopedia.com, a value added service refers to an enhancement a company gives its product or service before offering the product to customers.

An ideal value added service for a home internet service is thus one that will go towards complimenting that service, while offering convenience coupled with the same reliability and stability of the internet service.

This service must compliment the user’s lifestyle while enhancing it. ZOL Zimbabwe continues to introduce value added services for their users with the aim of allowing the ZOL Fibroniks user to enjoy the benefits of internet in every aspect of their lifestyle.

Fibroniks on the Go is one such value added service that offers convenience while presenting its user with an unrivalled service which continues to make ZOL Fibroniks the most valuable internet service on the Zimbabwean market.

It offers the user a means to enjoy their home internet service (Fibroniks) away from home at no extra cost.

The user is also able to utilise the full features that come with the home internet service as long as they are at a ZOLspot or ZOLsecure location and with over 200 access points, we are looking at being truly at home away from your home.

Think of the times when you use internet on the go?

At a restaurant while enjoying a meal with family, friends or business colleagues; or when you are at an airport, be it outbound or on return, these are some few major instances when you may require internet access.

In most cases, you may rely on your mobile data which is costly (to put it politely) and unreliable when you need to access large files.

In other instances, you may carry a dongle. The same type of problems may also occur.

With the re-launch of ZOLspot last week, Fibroniks on the Go users can make use of the ZOLsecure Network which is broadcasted alongside ZOLspot.

So if you are a ZOL customer with an active fibroniks connection you can register a certain number of devices for free unlimited access to ZOLspots nationwide, the number of devices you can register depends on the package you are on but the registration is simple and fast.

Connecting to ZOLsecure allows the user to enjoy a secure connection which allows for data encryption between your device and the access point so you can have peace of mind that your data is safe.

This means that online transactions such as paying using your credit card or checking private e-mail messages can be done with Fibroniks on the Go while connected to ZOLsecure.

ZOL customers can login to their MYZOL portal and they will see an option for My ZOLspot where you can manage your registered devices and add new devices.

If a customer is not registered for MYZOL then you can easily register yourself, all you need is your ZOL ID and access to the billing email address associated with your account and follow the steps laid out.

So applied to a user with a Family Entertainment Package:

This user has the pleasure of unlimited traffic with a downloading speed of up to 20Mbps at home.

So having already paid for their Fibroniks account and having linked their devices using myZOL.co.zw, they are able to take their devices to any ZOLspot and start browsing without having to pay.

With this convenience, the user is able to access their home speeds and use the internet from their package specifications with no hindrances.

If you are a businessman wanting to work at your favourite leisure spot away from the office or entertain a few clients over a meal, there is that added convenience from being on Fibroniks.

You can catch up on the latest business news or research on your linked device while it is connected to a ZOLspot.

What of security?

Fibroniks on the Go is adequately protected by enabling password protection and data encryption.

New ZOLspot solutions brings higher security — it’s no secret that Open Wi-Fi hotspots are a hornets nest for people that might want to maliciously capture data they shouldn’t be — but there hasn’t really been a solution to the problem at scale especially in the Zimbabwe Market, well now there is, ZOL runs a parallel Wi-Fi SSID alongside ZOLspot called ZOLsecure.

ZOLsecure uses industry standard WPA2-Enterprise/802.1x encryption to secure the connection from the moment it leaves your laptop to the moment it is inside the access point meaning that those malicious types won’t be able to see what you are doing on the internet at a public hotspot.

Just another reason to use a ZOLspot and further to that; Fibroniks on the Go.

The older WEP Wi-Fi encryption standard is practically worthless at keeping knowledgeable hackers out, but the WPA and WPA2 standards will keep even sophisticated hackers out of a network.

Because Fibroniks on the Go allows for multiple devices, the same convenience can be enjoyed by the family once they have linked devices by registering on myZOL.co.zw.

Being able to enjoy your home internet connection while you are away from home means you can make the most use of your subscription.

With ZOL Restaurant week coming up, ZOL On! and use your Fibroniks on the Go, experience the best way to live work and play through our products.

Fibroniks on the Go is available on all Fibroniks packages, from the Basic Essentials Package (where you can link up to 5 devices) to the Turbo Pack (up to 10 linked devices). You deserve to live like this. – ZOL
