Network with Automated Business Centers or Lobby PCs San Francisco, CA � June 21, 2007 � Most hotels have by now deployed hotel-wide HSIA for those guests traveling with a laptop, and many are rolling out Automated Business Centers and Lobby PCs to provide connectivity for all other guests. While Automated Business Centers and Lobby PCs may come bundled with a printer guests using the hotel�s HSIA frequently need to ask hotel staff for assistance with printing even the simplest documents. As the need for printing applications grows, particularly by the increasing demand for boarding pass printing, hotels need to make the printers in their Automated Business Centers or small-footprint Lobby PCs available to their HSIA users. A new partnership between Walkwire, a leading provider of automated internet solutions, and PrintMe, the leader in web-based guest printing, now seamlessly integrates PrintMe remote printing with any Walkwire Automated Business Center or Lobby PC. PrintMe allows guests to send their print jobs from anywhere on the hotel�s HSIA network to any Walkwire printer in the hotel, and then to securely retrieve their print job by entering a pre-assigned code. Previously this required dedicated hardware attached to the printer; now guests can enter their personal code to retrieve a print job directly on any Walkwire Internet station connected to a printer. This significantly lowers cost, provides redundancy, increases availability for the Guest, and allows Walkwire to seamlessly support all hardware required for the PrintMe remote printing solution � the hotel now has a single point of contact for all business center equipment. Walkwire provides comprehensive support for its Automated Business Centers, Lobby PCs and Boarding Pass PCs, including a 24/7 toll-free Guest Help Desk, remote monitoring and management, and on-site hardware support. �The whole point of automation is to give Hotel Managers and staff an effortless turnkey solution�they�re in the business of running a hotel, not a business center,� says Gregor Gomory, Director of Sales and Strategic Partnerships at Walkwire. �Integrating PrintMe remote printing into our automated internet solutions allows us to extend our comprehensive services and provide complete support and care for all aspects of Guest Public PC access�. The new partnership between Walkwire and PrintMe is the first time that Automated Business Centers and Lobby PCs come bundled with PrintMe, the top of the line Remote Printing Solution for hotels. �It just makes sense,� says Gomory, �by adding PrintMe to the office applications we are currently offering hotel guests can truly have full functionality while on the road.� About Walkwire, LLC
