London's Finest Venue Becomes Fully Wi-Fi Enabled

Lydbrook, Gloucestershire, 15 October 2003 - The Café Grand Prix in Mayfair has become the latest prestigious venue in London to become fully Wi-Fi enabled by KooKu. The installation at the Café Grand Prix which is based on the 802.11b wireless networking standard protocol, encompasses access points in the La Rascasse Restaurant, The Pit Brasserie and in Rosie's Bar and is designed to support users at this excellent dining and conference facility.

This service allows guests to access the internet, email and online services at broadband speeds, without a phone line connection. KooKu™ is based on a prepaid system of payment which allows complete flexibility of service provision and removes the requirement for credit checks, credit card support, etc. The Café Grand Prix will provide their guests with MicroAPs, a driver free installation device replacing a wireless card, allowing guests without Wi-Fi enabled laptops to access the service - a cost effective and easy to use solution.

Giselle Mastrosanti, General Manager at the Café Grand Prix, explained, "This is a great opportunity to enhance our already excellent dining and conference facilities which will provide our guests with instant plug and play wireless internet access allowing them to work away from the office whilst enjoying themselves at our Mayfair venue."

Kooku spokesperson, Jeff Martin said, "We are delighted to be involved in enabling a venue as prestigious as the Café Grand Prix with this cutting edge technology and the KooKu network."

Venues using the KooKu network are presented with a sales pack containing the KooKu cards customised with their logo, point of sale material, user guides, staff training and after sales support.

About the Café Grand Prix

Café Grand Prix is made up of three locations steeped in history and glamour: La Rascasse, the Pit Brasserie, and Rosie's Bar. All reflect the spirit of the original locations in Monaco.

At Café Grand Prix you can enjoy fine dining at La Rascasse, a stylish French restaurant with one of the most extensive wine lists in London.

And why not pop downstairs to the elegant and snug Rosie's Bar, the best kept secret in London, for a champagne aperitif, or whisky and cigars after dinner? For lighter meals, or just a coffee or a beer, there's the smart Pit Brasserie. For more information, visit the Café Grand Prix website on www.cafegrandprix.com.
