INTxx Launches Cyberoom, an Internet Hotel Amenity
 
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 1, 1998 -  Integrated Network Technologies, Inc. (INTxx(R)), an Internet technologies company, launched Cyberoom, the first hotel in-room computer-based high-speed Internet connection in Minnesota. 

Cyberoom is a customized Internet Web service that integrates high-speed Internet access with applications running on computer terminals placed in guestrooms. Cyberoom includes features designed to provide the guest with the ability to quickly locate information from the Web including sending e-mail, reviewing investments, finding local entertainment, checking on flight times or surfing the Web.

Within the privacy of their hotel room, guests can use Cyberoom to connect to the Internet at T1 speeds that are up to 45 times faster than dial-up from a laptop without having the continual disconnect problems associated with modems and slow specialized software. The hotel itself also benefits as Cyberoom frees up expensive phone lines within the hotel. Cyberoom has been installed at The Marquette Hotel located in downtown Minneapolis.

"At The Marquette, we are very excited to be the very first hotel to offer Internet Access directly from some of our rooms," said Jean-Marie Grouard, General Manager of The Marquette Hotel. "The initial interest by The Marquette guests far exceeds our most optimistic forecast. As the best business hotel in Minneapolis, The Marquette is very focused on providing the best communication and information tools to our guests. The Cyberoom computers will reinforce our position as the premier hotel in the Twin Cities." Cyberoom will become an essential amenity in hotels that want to gain competitive advantage in an industry where the guest's needs come first.
