High-Speed Internet Access |
HSIA network chainwide�thus adding another highly sought amenity MILWAUKEE, WIS. � (FEBRUARY 6, 2004) � Guests at Woodfield Suites hotels can now get on-line faster than ever. The Milwaukee-based all-suite chain has rolled out EthoStream LLC�s Wireless High Speed Internet Access (HSIA) system for use by guests at its seven hotels from Wisconsin to Texas. This will give Woodfield Suites yet another unique amenity�wireless
high-speed Internet access in guestrooms, meeting rooms, lobbies and other
public spaces.
There are seven Woodfield Suites locations, in Colorado, Illinois, Ohio, Texas and Wisconsin. The one- and two-room suites have separate sleeping and living areas, and are equipped with refrigerators and microwaves. Focusing on top-quality services, meeting rooms and a full array of amenities�such as complimentary breakfast and evening cocktails, a fitness center and swimming pool�Woodfield Suites offers guests a relaxing, comfortable experience for business and leisure travelers alike. Also based in Milwaukee, EthoStream is a leading provider of wireless HSIA to hospitality and other markets. The company has nearly 50 hotel clients representing a dozen national brands. EthoStream provides secure wireless HSIA via its proprietary EthoStream Gateway ServerTM (EGS-110), and gives hotels and management companies complimentary access to online, in-depth, real-time reports on bandwidth, usage and tech support call resolution. �Industry experts have said wireless high-speed Internet access is now the new �must-have� guestroom amenity,� said Trent. �Our transition to HSIA is now a reality. Offering free HSIA in all guestrooms at all Woodfield Suites will be a major competitive differentiator in the mid-market segment.� EthoStream President Jason L. Tienor said the Marcus Corp. pilot project, using the company�s wireless HSIA, drew guests and kept them returning over the past few months. �Management reports from other installations that have deployed our
EthoStream wireless High Speed Internet Access product show double-digit
usage rates that continue to rise,� Tienor said. �We strongly believe that
our solutions for wireless HSIA technology will be the standard for which
all others will be judged.�
