StayOnline signed the contract with Pineapple following its super-successful showing at HITEC in New Orleans this summer, where the company announced marketing agreements with AT&T Wireless, Historic Hotels of America and Boingo.  StayOnline has already completed installation of another Pineapple property, the Coral Bridge Best Western in Fort Myers, Florida.

�Because of our previous experience with StayOnline at our Fort Myers property, their completely wireless access was very attractive to us. It�s the right solution for us because of the cost, its ready availability to our guests, its security features and the fact that StayOnline is an approved Marriott vendor,� said Glenn Pedersen, President of Pineapple Management Services.

StayOnline�s solution will be installed at the following Pineapple locations: 

• Atlanta Six Flags Fairfield Inn by Marriott
• Atlanta Suwanee Fairfield Inn by Marriott
• Lafayette, Louisiana Fairfield Inn by Marriott
• Hattiesburg, Mississippi Fairfield Inn by Marriott
• Gulfport, Mississippi Fairfield Inn by Marriott
• Houma, Louisiana Fairfield Inn by Marriott
• Jackson, Mississippi Fairfield Inn by Marriott
• Lake Charles, Louisiana Fairfield Inn by Marriott
• Beaumont, Texas Fairfield Inn by Marriott
• Beaumont, Texas Courtyard by Marriott and the
• Nashville, Tennessee Airport Fairfield Inn by Marriott.

�In addition, we are under contract to purchase four additional Marriott properties with a total of nearly 300 rooms, and we definitely plan to have StayOnline install their wireless solution in those hotels as well,� said Pedersen.

�Pineapple has an excellent reputation and is an award-winning developer and management company.  We are extremely pleased that they have chosen our 100% wireless solution for this group of highly desirable Marriott properties, � said Antonio DiMilia, President and CEO of StayOnline.

Each of the hotels offers amenities specifically geared to business travelers, many of whom are growing more and more dependent upon a fast, accessible connection to the Internet while on the road.

Guests of any of the Pineapple properties 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.

�The best thing about our agreement with Pineapple is that many of their hotel guests are repeat customers of the Fairfield and Courtyard brands within the region.  By offering StayOnline at all these hotels, the guests are given a consistent and reliable way to access the Internet across state lines, from Florida all the way to Texas.  It�s a win-win for everybody,� said DiMilia.
