Wi-Fi Hotspot Lands in the Helm's Inn

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 2 April 2004 - Orca Wireless and KooKu have provided the Helm's Inn at Beacon Hill Park in Victoria, British Columbia with a Wi-Fi KooKu™ hotspot service. This deployment aimed at consumers and business users alike is part of successful strategy led by Orca Wireless to provide wireless high speed internet access in hotels, conference centres, cafes and popular venues globally across Canada.

This KooKu™ service allows Helm's Inn's guests to access the internet, email and online services at broadband speeds, with a wire less 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, offering customers a fast and easy to access Internet service. The Helm's Inn will provide their guest 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, easy to use solution.

Keith Brown, Orca Wireless Managing Director, said: "This agreement accelerates the deployment of the KooKu Network throughout Canada and offers both consumers and business users the opportunity to access all online services in the comfort of their own room at the Helm's Inn. The demand for high speed wireless internet access is increasing and it has now been evident that business users are opting for hotels with this facility."
