Intel Wi-Fi Collaboration

HOTSPOTZZ teamed with Intel Corporation to promote its service in conjunction with the Intel® Centrinotm mobile technology for notebook PCs. HOTSPOTZZ and Intel are working together to drive awareness of Wi-Fi (802.11) hotspots -- areas where notebook users can connect to the Internet and corporate networks wirelessly. Intel's new Centrino mobile technology includes a new mobile processor, chipset and built-in Wi-Fi capability that have been designed to work together to enable the best possible wireless notebook experience. The Intel Centrino certified signage placed at all HOTSPOTZZ locations will help laptop users identify HOTSPOTZZ locations with ease.

IKANO's relationship with Intel means that all HOTSPOTZZ locations will be tested and pre-certified to work with all Intel Centrino mobile technology computer laptops. Intel will promote HOTSPOTZZ as a partner in its national advertising campaign.

SPOTZZ Communications

SPOTZZ Communications™ is pioneering Unified Wireless Access, enabling users to use laptop computers to connect to the Internet at high speeds when you are on the move. SPOTZZ is dedicated to making wireless Internet access simple and widely available - working with leading Service Providers and equipment vendors to ensure connecting to the Internet becomes a routine part of your travel itinerary or daily schedule.

SPOTZZ believes that connecting to the Internet, when you are away from your office or home, shouldn't involve the inconvenience and glitches associated with hooking up to a telephone line or LAN network. Mobile technology standards, such as 802.11b (Wi-Fi) Wireless Ethernet, are popularizing affordable add-on wireless cards for laptop computers; and airports, hotels - even your local coffee shop - are installing wireless Internet base-stations. Today people can access the Internet from their wireless-enabled laptops while they wait on their plane or sip their latte. As the number of wireless-enabled locations grows, accessing the web this way will become a routine part of everyone's Internet experience.
