Tut Systems' 'No New Wires' Connectivity Solution to Be Deployed to
All Eight
Milenium Hotels Throughout Texas and Mexico
PLEASANT HILL, Calif., March 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Tut Systems Inc.
(Nasdaq: TUTS), today announced that the Milenium Hotel Group has
selected Tut's Systems as the provider of high-speed Internet access
systems for all eight of its business and luxury hotels. Based in
Monterrey, Mexico, the Milenium Hotel Group has purchased Tut's
Expresso MDU system to provide guests with in-room, "plug and play"
access to the Internet at speeds of up to 1 megabit per second
utilizing the hotel's existing phone lines. The Milenium Hotel Group
owns, manages and operates eight hotel facilities including the Holiday
Inn Parque Fundidora, the Holiday Inn Express, the Country Inn and
Suites Hotel in McAllen, Texas and the Crowne Plaza Hotel and Resort in
Monterrey, Mexico.
Catering to business travelers and located in one of the major business
destinations in Texas and Mexico, Milenium Hotels has initially
deployed Tut's Expresso MDU high speed Internet access to 168 rooms in
the Holiday Inn Express and to 124 rooms of the Crowne Plaza Hotel and
Resort. Current plans call for Tut's Expresso MDU to be installed in
all eight of the Milenium Hotels by the end of the second quarter,
1999.
Tut's Expresso MDU is the first "single box" access concentrator
solution to enable the cost-effective provisioning of high-speed
Internet access and data services for hotels, as well as apartment
buildings, dormitories and other multi-dwelling units (MDUs). Expresso
MDU incorporates Tut's popular HomeRun(TM) home networking and LongRun
technology to deliver data at a speed of 1 megabit per second over
existing telephone wires without interruption of voice services.
"Milenium is committed to providing state-of-the-art technologies that
allow our guests to properly manage their affairs while they are on the
road," said Enrique Sanchez, Corporate Planning Director for Milenium
Hotel Group. "Tut's Expresso MDU system is an ideal solution for us
because the technology can be quickly and affordably installed without
new wiring. And our guests will enjoy an always-on, high-speed
Internet connection that makes it much easier to conduct business."
"The Milenium Hotel Group is successful because it provides the high
quality service and cutting edge technologies that today's business
travelers demand," said Sal D'Auria, President and CEO of Tut Systems.
"Our Internet access technology will allow the guests of Milenium
Hotels to turn their hotel room into an 'office away from the office.'"
The Expresso MDU system is designed to sit in the basement or wiring
closet of a hotel, an apartment building, or dormitory, and delivers
secure, high-speed Internet access to individual units within the
building. Because it utilizes Tut's HomeRun home networking
technology, the Expresso MDU system connects every phone jack within an
installation and allows end users with multiple PCs to share Internet
connections. HomeRun also creates a private LAN within each unit,
making it possible to share files and peripherals and even to play
multi-player games.
