WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., Nov. 3, 2003 -- Nomadix, Inc. (www.nomadix.com), the leading supplier of Public-access solutions, today announced that its Nomadix Service Engine(tm) (NSE) software running on the HotSpot Gateway(tm) has been installed in the Wi-Fi(tm) network at Coppid Beech, a four-star alpine-style hotel in Bracknell, England. With 204 guest rooms, spacious conference rooms, several restaurants and leisure amenities, this is the largest complete hotel installation of its kind in the UK to date, allowing guests with appropriate Wi-Fi-enabled equipment to access the Internet without a wired connection.
The Coppid Beech system was designed and installed by Wireless Workplace Limited (www.wirelessworkplace.biz). The installation encompasses 24 Wi-Fi access points placed at strategic locations throughout the venue that connect to the Nomadix HSG, a dedicated network appliance running the NSE software. The NSE provides critical functionality allowing the guest to seamlessly connect to the Wi-Fi network while enabling a two-tiered billing system for the service.
"Nomadix continues to expand its Public-access footprint on a global scale and remains the leader in supplying solutions for the hotel industry," said John DiGiovanni, director of marketing for Nomadix. "The Coppid Beech deployment capitalizes on the hotel's convenient location for business travelers and fulfills the growing desire of mobile professionals to stay connected using a Wi-Fi network."
The network provides hotel visitors with complete Wi-Fi coverage at any location on the property. This kind of coverage is ambitious and expansive compared to hotel installations in the UK to date, which have been limited to the lobby or bar areas. There are two levels of pricing for Wi-Fi usage at Coppid Beech, depending on the user's preference. Hotel guests can connect by purchasing a voucher from the lobby reception desk with the option to pay 5.99 Pounds per hour or 12.99 Pounds for 24 hours of uninterrupted usage.
