Nortel's (Northern Telecom's) Millennium Phones Score Big at MCI Center PR Newswire - February 16, 1998 09:34 NTL. NT %TLS V%PRN P%PRN MCI first in U.S. to install Nortel's new Millennium MultiApplication Terminal WASHINGTON, D.C., Feb. 16 /PRNewswire/ - MCI today announced that it has installed Nortel's (Northern Telecom's) Millennium MultiPay terminals and MultiApplication phones with large graphical displays throughout the new MCI Center in downtown Washington, D.C. By deploying the Nortel Millennium phones, MCI is bringing advanced public communications access technology to the state-of-the-art sports and events facility, which opened on December 2, 1997. MCI Center is one of the world's most technologically advanced sports and entertainment venues. The home of the NBA's Washington Wizards and the NHL's Washington Capitals, MCI Center also provides a showplace for cultural, political and entertainment events, as well as major college sports. More than 60 Millennium terminals have been installed throughout MCI Center, helping usher in the dawn of a new era in sports and entertainment in the nation's capital. ''As with all aspects of the MCI Center, guests will find that Nortel's state-of-the art payphones will provide the most advanced features available today,'' said Mike Cachine, MCI director of Corporate Information, Technology and Services. ''Millennium terminals will allow fans and event attendees access to the powerful services available on MCI's global network - such as the Internet, e-mail, and information services. It will be a true home-court advantage for MCI and all our visitors.'' The Millennium phones deployed by MCI are part of an advanced public communications access system that will offer new choices and unprecedented convenience to visitors. The MultiPay phones are equipped with an RJ-11 data jack which enables users to connect a laptop computer to access powerful network services such as electronic mail, the Internet, or information services. Nortel's new Millennium MultiApplication terminal with large graphical display boasts an 8-line by 20-character easy-to-read display with graphics capabilities. With all the functionality of traditional Millennium phones, this terminal features a large display screen that will provide valuable information regarding MCI Center events and announcements, as well as information on MCI's products and services. ''MCI Center is the most technologically advanced sports/entertainment facility in the world,'' said Abe Pollin, chairman, Washington Sports and Entertainment. ''MCI has been largely responsible for contributing to the high-tech success of MCI Center. The new Millennium phones are yet another example of their dedication to bring the best to this facility.'' Nortel's Millennium phones also feature quick access keys, which perform like speed dial keys, that can be programmed for one-touch dialing of information services, emergency assistance, transportation services, public service announcements or direct access advertising. Additionally, the phones installed at MCI Center accept multiple payment methods--coin, calling card, and credit cards--providing more choices and convenience to callers. Currently, there are more than 135,000 Millennium phones deployed throughout North America.
