Norwood Adam Nest with Kooku™
Convergence Distributor to Open Up Pan-European Virtual Wireless
Hotspot Network to UK Partners

East Grinstead, UK, August 2003 - Norwood Adam, the specialist value-added convergence distributor, today announced its partnership with value added systems integrator Chronos Technology. Norwood Adam will be offering its partners access to Chronos' KooKu™ virtual network of independently hosted 802.11x wireless Hotspots. KooKu™ provides the ability for small providers to offer end-user access to a Pan-European roaming enabled hotspot network.

Phil Rouse, Managing Director at Chronos explained: "Managing and providing a truly roaming National or International network is no easy task. KooKu™ links smaller regional networks and allows them to become such a network, whilst still allowing each one to maintain its own branding and local identity"

The business model that KooKu™ is based on allows for revenue sharing based on access time sold and also the length of time that end users spend accessing the internet through each hotspot. 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. KooKu™ offers the ability to walk in to buy a card and surf with SMS support allowing end users to acquire a username/ password if the point of sale is closed. Any 802.11a/b/g or fixed line Ethernet device can be configured or virtually upgraded to operate on the KooKu™ network.

Resellers who sign onto Norwood Adam's KooKu™ programme will receive the following per hotspot:

" KooKu™ 802.11b Wireless Access Point
" 30 x 10 Minute 'Promo' cards
" Registration on the KooKu™ Roaming Network
" Localised marketing as required on the Host Cards
" Next working day replacement of product

Manny Pinon, Sales and Marketing Director, Norwood Adam said: "KooKu™ offers the ability to our resellers and partners to uplift their customers existing networks, both wireless and fixed line, and offer a protocol-agnostic white-label virtual wireless network. The type of service can be tailored dependent on access time, roaming capability, etc offering a truly flexible wireless service for our regional providers and a compelling recurring revenue stream."
