SAN DIEGO, Dec. 15, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Superclick announced today that it has completed a significant installation in partnership with Locatel of its private-label branded LIHSA (Locatel Internet High Speed Access) high speed Internet solution in Bucharest (Romania) at the Crown Plaza, an Intercontinental hotel. Through its OEM partnership with Superclick, Inc., Locatel intends to aggressively roll out the LIHSA product throughout Europe and the entrance into the Romanian market. "This is the first step in our renewed efforts to add market share," commented Guillaume Deguerry, Export Director for Locatel. Both wired and WIFI solutions were installed at the property.
Mr. Franz Rattenstetter, manager of the hotel stated, "We chose LHISA for the great references given by other hotels as well as the competitive prices and financing offered by Locatel. The local representative and the 24/7 helpdesk also helped us reach our decision. The installation was completed in time within the promised deadline. We have now been running LHISA for a couple of months and have already noticed the positive addition of this new revenue stream. Our guests are very happy of the quality of the service and its ease of use."
Mr. Larry Calaghan, for Intercontinental in London added, "LOCATEL, thanks to its coverage and the Lihsa platform it supplied us with, enabled us to install efficient and reliable Internet services and reach the highest level of our guest's satisfaction."
Mr. Deguerry commented further, "The hotel sector in Europe is seeing major changes and high speed Internet service is catching on rapidly. We are aggressively pursuing our marketing campaign leveraging our North American relationships through Superclick as well as Locatel's LIHSA brand."
According to European-based research firm EHLITE, Europe retains by far the greatest hotel capacity of the six worldwide tourism regions, as defined by the WTO, with about 6.2 million rooms (an estimated 38% of the total).
