 Atlanta,
GA � Sept. 14, 2004 � StayOnline�s portfolio of wirelessly enabled hotel
properties is expanding to Hawaii � to the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort
and Spa to be exact. The newly renovated resort, which offers 1,310
rooms in two towers and 40,000 square feet of meeting space, is StayOnline�s
largest installation to date.
�We�ve proven with a number of physically diverse
and architecturally spread-out properties that we can completely cover
a property very seamlessly,� said Antonio DiMilia, President and CEO of
StayOnline. �We have all heard the horror stories of people who visit
vacation or resort areas who might find one spot in the bathroom or on
the deck or in a closet that enables them to connect to the Internet.
While this property will offer some challenges, there aren�t any we haven�t
met successfully before.�
The Waikiki property, which is managed by Marriott,
has chosen to go with a combination of wired and wireless HSIA connectivity
to best serve its guests.
�The Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort and Spa has
always aimed at providing deluxe accommodations for both the leisure and
business traveler. After reviewing numerous companies, the resort
decided to go with StayOnline because of its fast and reliable product
and credible reputation in the industry,� said John Limper, Director of
Marketing for the Resort.� StayOnline has installations in over 125
Marriott branded properties throughout the United States.
