TeleAdapt Launches DeskPointTM
LONDON, UK, June 22, 2006. TeleAdapt, a leading provider of HSIA guest connection point solutions for the hospitality market worldwide, is pleased to announce its premier installation of the DeskPointTM on board the exclusive Sunborn Yacht Hotel, in London.
The DeskPointTM, TeleAdapt's latest HSIA guestroom solution, creates a simultaneous wired and wireless in-room access point. With its modern and sleek design, the DeskPointTM is the perfect solution for conventionally wired properties who want to fully maximise usage of their existing Ethernet network by providing localised simultaneous Wi-Fi Internet access points.
The DeskPointTM gives users the added benefit of wireless connectivity allowing them to lay back in their luxurious suite instead of being 'moored' to the desk, whilst non Wi-Fi equipped users can connect at the desk with the 1.8m long CAT5 compatible retractable cable.
Gordon Brown, TeleAdapt's MD, states: 'We are delighted to announce the first installation of the DeskPointTM on board the Sunborn Yacht Hotel. We believe the DeskPointTM is the solution of the future, responding to guest requirements for a simple and reliable connectivity. The launch of the DeskPointTM affirms TeleAdapt's leadership position in the delivery of HSIA access points - over 1 million hotel guestrooms are now equipped with TeleAdapt products - and builds on our 6 years of hospitality expertise. Integration with Western Telecom's broadband service has been a great success, ensuring a straightforward HSIA connection whilst enhancing guest satisfaction.'
Kory Thompson, General Manager at the Sunborn Yacht Hotel, adds: "The installation of the DeskPointTM at the Sunborn Yacht Hotel has proven to be a great success. Feedback from guests has been very positive, as they can now easily connect to the Internet whether they are Wi-Fi equipped or not. This has resulted in a noticeable increase in Internet usage. Western Telecom and TeleAdapt's partnership has enabled us to enhance our guests' experience, with a reliable and guest-friendly HSIA connection'.
