ATLANTA and SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, May 1, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- coaXmedia, a worldwide leader in broadband access technology and Acelera Networks, Inc., today announced a strategic partnership to jointly market coaXmedia's breakthrough broadband solution for hotels and multi-dwelling units (MDU) in Puerto Rico.
coaXmedia's technology enables high-speed broadband services to be rapidly and cost effectively deployed in a hotel or MDU without expensive re-wiring, by utilizing the existing television cable infrastructure without interfering with the CATV, video on demand, satellite services or PBX operation.
"coaXmedia's high speed internet delivery systems have been installed in hotels, apartment buildings and condominiums in the U.S., Mexico, Latin America, Asia and Europe. We're very excited about our strategic partnership with Acelera Networks in Puerto Rico, which will bring coaXmedia's innovative technology into one of the top hospitality marketplaces in the world," said Lynn Agnes, vice president of global sales and marketing for coaXmedia. "Historic hotels in Old San Juan or existing newer hotels that would normally require extensive and costly re-wiring can now become 'smart' hotels, enabled with high speed data."
The Series 6000 system has been deployed in several hotels in Puerto Rico, including the Intercontinental Resort and Casino, Courtyard by Marriott Isla Verde Beach Resort and the Ramada San Juan.
