Convention Center in Tennessee
Atlanta, GA, September 16, 2003 --  StayOnline, the nation�s only 100% wireless high-speed Internet access provider for the hospitality industry, has added the new Franklin Marriott Cool Springs in Franklin, Tennessee to its portfolio of fully wireless hotels.  The company has completed installations at the 300-room hotel in its guest rooms, common areas and meeting rooms.  The Franklin Marriott Cool Springs is adjacent to the Cool Springs Convention Center, a popular new meeting space located just 15 minutes from downtown Nashville, Tennessee.

The hotel has 150 rooms specifically designed and outfitted for the business traveler. �We call these rooms �The Rooms that WorkT�,� said, Roy Croop, General Manager of the Franklin Marriott.   �Many of the guests who stay with us are attending conferences at the Cool Springs Conference Center and, during their off hours, they need in-room, wireless access to the Internet.  This is a distinction that sets us apart from other hotels in the area.�

The Franklin Marriott Cool Springs is owned and managed by Noble Investment Group of Atlanta, which has also selected and installed StayOnline�s fully wireless High-Speed Internet Access for other properties it manages.

�We come back to StayOnline�s solution because it is flexible, cost-effective and reliable,� said Steven Nicholas, Vice President and Chief Quality Officer. 

Guests of the Cool Springs hotel will find StayOnline�s �plug and play� capabilities simple to use, enabling them to bypass wires and local area access numbers for their ISPs.  StayOnline also provides added layers of encryption (128 bit WEP) through its EZAir(sm) device, and enterprise level VLAN switching, enabling a more secure connection for even the casual user.

�StayOnline is the leader in �unwiring� hotel guest rooms,� said Antonio DiMilia, President and CEO of StayOnline. �We�re taking a lot of the hassle out of business travel, which is far more complex than ever before.  The Noble Investment Group  Company is smart to recognize that the savvy business traveler prefers the ease of a fully wireless experience.�
