Aliant Hotspots changing the way customers connect for business or travel - SolutionInc selected to provide critical back office services28 June 2006
Customers working or traveling across Atlantic Canada now have access to a fast and reliable Aliant Hotspot service. The innovative commercial service - employing wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) technology - is being launched today by Aliant, the leading information and communications technology provider in the region, in collaboration with SolutionInc Limited (TSX-VEN:STL), a leader in Internet connectivity and hotspot management.
Aliant Hotspots offer customers the convenience of accessing the Internet while away from home or work using their Wi-Fi enabled wireless device, such as a laptop.
"Aliant is proud to provide a reliable, easy to use hotspot service to our customers and the many travelers to the Atlantic region," said Paul Pothier, Director, Wireless Business Marketing, Aliant. "Together with industry leader SolutionInc, we are able to provide our customers a service that offers 24-hour customer support, access from a wide variety of locations and across the high-speed network our customers have come to rely on."
The following public and private locations provide Aliant Hotspot service:
- Charlottetown Airport
- Deer Lake Regional Airport
- Greater Moncton International Airport
- Saint John Airport
- Marine Atlantic Terminals
- Argentia, NL
- North Sydney, NS
- Port-Aux-Basques, NL
- Moncton Coliseum Complex
Visitors to the Moncton Coliseum Complex can use the new, co-hosted WiFi Moncton / Aliant Hotspot service powered by SolutionIP(TM) Enterprise and enjoy a reliable and secure Internet connection. "Guests to the coliseum during the 2006 Canadian Hockey League Memorial Cup Tournament last month gave the Hotspot service rave reviews," boasted Mr. Dan Babineau, Director of Information Systems, City of Moncton. "We are very pleased with the service and the support that Aliant and SolutionInc have shown us."
"Our solution is ideal for an innovative company like Aliant," SolutionInc President and CEO Mr. Glen Lavigne comments. "We are in the business of connecting people and communities through the delivery of our Internet management software and services. This solution allows Aliant customers to capitalize on the exploding public access and hotspot market." The service is easy to sign up for and simple to use, with payment options ranging from one hour to 24 hour access through credit card payment.
In March, Aliant and SolutionInc announced a partnership to provide hotels and enterprises with the fastest and most reliable Wi-Fi Internet connectivity in Atlantic Canada using SolutionIP(TM) software. SolutionInc provides back end management and support for the services.
