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.
