Orca Wireless to Introduce KooKu to the Canadian Market

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 2 March 2004 – Orca Wireless Solutions Ltd., a Canadian based WiFi solutions provider has teamed up with KooKu Ltd., a virtual network of independently hosted 802.11x wireless Hotspots, to introduce and promote KooKu’s services to the Canadian, US and Caribbean markets.  This partnership strengthens KooKu’s position as a truly global wireless hotspot provider and will give Orca Wireless the ability to offer end-user access to a global roaming enabled hotspot network.  Orca Wireless will promote the service to locations such as hotels, conference centres, cafes and popular venues in Canada, USA and the Caribbean.

Orca Wireless’ strategy will be based on KooKu’s business model that 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.   Any 802.11a/b/g or fixed line Ethernet device can be configured or virtually upgraded to operate on the KooKu™ network. Solutions can be built up from single node sites (coffee shops), through multi-node sites (hotels and conference centres) to enterprise-wide solutions (hotel groups) with the service being provided for both temporary and permanent installations.

Keith Brown, Orca Wireless’ Managing Director said: “This partnership will give Orca Wireless the opportunity to expand the KooKu network throughout Canada, USA, and the Caribbean. and provide a WiFi service that is tailored to the requirements of both the Host and End User with minimal impact and maximum return to the host.  We are confident the KooKu business model is suitable for these markets and we look forward to adding locations to the expanding portfolio of KooKu global sites.”

Jeff Martin, Sales Director of KooKu said, “We are pleased to welcome Orca Wireless to the KooKu family. Orca staff have undergone training at the KooKu head office, allowing them to provide the full range of services offered by KooKu.
