SAN DIEGO, June 16, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Superclick, Inc. (OTCBB:SPCK) today announced that it has signed a reseller agreement with Allen Technologies -- the leader in On-Demand Patient and Staff Education Networks for hospitals. Allen Technologies currently has installed equipment at more than 40,000 beds throughout Australia, Canada, Puerto Rico and the United States.
Under the agreement, Allen technologies will now offer the Superclick Internet Protocol (IP) wired and wireless networks in addition to its Scheduled Education, On-Demand Education, Spiritual and Relaxation Programming delivered right to the patient bedside.
"Hospitals have demanding communication system requirements for patient care, education and entertainment," says Derek Forman, President and CEO of Allen Technologies. "With Superclick we can now offer a natural extension to our bedside TV-based services to include the growing number of IP network applications enhancing patient care and facilitating patients communicating with family and friends.
Superclick wired and wireless IP networks are capable of supporting both public and private applications over the same network infrastructure. Public applications include fee-based plug-and-play Internet access for patients and visitors, or authorized access for doctors to check email and research on the web. These must be logically and securely separated from the private applications such as staff voice-over-WiFi calling or 'pillcart' communications which are enhancing patient care.
"We are excited about the opportunity of working with a veteran organization, Allen Technologies, to enter the burgeoning hospital IP network market. IP network diagrams may look similar, but each must be tailored to properly support the applications in use," says Sandro Natale, Superclick co-founder and interim President. "In hospitals the challenge of mixing public and private network applications is more than establishing the correct IP addresses and firewall policies. Effective Internet access must seamlessly support user plug-and-play access without changing settings on their PC; block adult and violent web sites; provide isolated connections so users can't "see" each other or spread viruses; properly redirect email traffic; and support a mix of fee-based users that access a log-in page with previously authorized devices who reside on the network. Superclick's systems do all this for public Internet access and facilitate private network applications while continuously monitoring the network and IP devices integrity to assure reliable and efficient communications."
