WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., March 22, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Nomadix, Inc. (www.nomadix.com), the leading supplier of Public-access solutions, today announced that HotSpot International(tm) (HSI), the leading hospitality HotSpot provider in Latin America, deployed the Nomadix HotSpot Gateway(tm) (HSG) at Las Ventanas al Paraiso Resort in Los Cabos, Mexico, enabling a hybrid Public-access network that offers hotel guests both high-speed Internet access (HSIA) and Wi-Fi(tm) service throughout the property. This deployment, at one of Mexico's most prestigious hotels, is Nomadix' first installation in Baja California Sur.
"In our search for a HSIA and Wi-Fi supplier, we were very interested in the ease of use, authentication for measurement and the ability to integrate Nomadix' technology with our existing infrastructure," said Eduardo Garcia, MIS manager at Las Ventanas al Paraiso. "The Nomadix HSG allowed us to upgrade and maintain state-of-the-art technology and provide a secure, reliable and easy to use service to our clientele."
HSI leveraged Eleven Wireless' administration and user authentication services with Nomadix' high performance gateway to offer the most efficient and technologically advanced HSIA solution for Las Ventanas al Paraiso. The property provides the new HSIA and Wi-Fi services to its guests free of charge.
"Offering the best in Wi-Fi solutions requires equipment that has the ability to interface with backend software to provide for user authentication and payment plans and track roaming and usage," said Susana Semblantes-Miller, president of HotSpot International. "We saw the Nomadix HSG as a cost-effective platform that provides a problem-free service to the end user, enables a variety of billing models and perfectly interfaces with Las Ventanas al Paraiso's infrastructure."
"Recognizing that service is key in the hospitality industry, Nomadix understands and caters to the needs and requirements of individual hotels and resorts. Las Ventanas al Paraiso's guests now have the ability to stay connected to friends and family while on vacation and business executives can quickly and easily stay connected to corporate headquarters," said Kurt Bauer, senior vice president of field operations for Nomadix. "We look forward to growing our relationship with HotSpot International and see it as an opportunity to reinforce our position as a world leader in providing Public-access gateways for the hospitality space."
Nomadix' HSG is a turnkey, cost-effective platform designed for small to medium-sized Public-access HotSpots. The gateway is transport agnostic and enables the deployment of wired, wireless or hybrid networks supporting up to 150 simultaneous users.
