STSN Completes New HSIA Installations In 10 Hotel Properties
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - STSN, Inc., the leading provider of wired and wireless high-speed data communications to hotels and conference centers worldwide, today announced that in November 2002, 10 hotel properties in the US, Canada and the UK were deployed with STSN's high-speed Internet access (HSIA) solution. Deployments delivered high-speed connectivity to guest rooms and meeting space in hotel properties including the Hilton North Raleigh Hotel, Marriott Toronto Eaton Centre and the Marriott London Park Lane.
"Our attempt to manage a HSIA system on our own was frustrating at best," said Philip Clausen, chief maintenance engineer of the Hilton North Raleigh Hotel. "The STSN install process was completely painless and with STSN managing the system, my staff and I can focus on what we do best. We're pleased to be partnering with STSN to offer a secure, reliable solution that meets the needs of our guests."
The STSN solution provides a secure tunnel from the hotel guest room and meeting rooms into business travelers' corporate Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), and allows hotel guests and meeting attendees to send and receive e-mail and surf the Internet, all at speeds up to 50 times faster than standard dial-up connections. As a conferencing solution, STSN's technology supports applications such as webcasting and video conferencing, allowing meeting planners to interact—with complete security—in real time with facilitators, attendees and remote meeting participants.
"With our number of guest purchases growing to over 200,000 per month, it is clear that business travelers appreciate and rely on the secure high-speed connectivity that STSN provides," said David Garrison, CEO and president of STSN. "STSN is committed to supplying a solution with a lower total cost of operation and zero risk to the hotel property's bottom line. The success of our commitment is reflected in the number of new hotel properties choosing and installing the STSN solution every month."
The Company previously announced record sales to new properties for the third quarter 2002, and reported record usage in both guest and conference rooms during the same period.
