5G Wireless Solutions Selected
to Provide Wireless Infrastructure for Landmark Gaslamp Plaza
Suites Hotel in San Diego
Marina del Rey, CA – June 27,
2005 – 5G Wireless Solutions, Inc., an emerging leader in the
wireless broadband industry and a portfolio company of 5G Wireless
Communications, Inc. (OTCBB:
FGWC),
announced today that it has completed a broadband wireless network
installation at the historic Gaslamp Plaza Suites Hotel (http://www.gaslampplaza.com/)
in San Diego.
Located in the heart of San Diego’s famous
Gaslamp Quarter tourist district, the beautifully restored, late
Victorian structure has been on the National Register of Historic
Places since 1988. Built in 1913, the building originally housed San
Diego Trust & Savings and was considered the city’s first
skyscraper.
“We’re thrilled to be able to offer our guests
such advanced technology without disrupting the historic grandeur of
our facility,” stated Madeleine Kershaw, Assistant General Manager
of the Gaslamp. “We can leverage this new amenity as a marketing
advantage in a hotly competitive market as we now can boast the best
of old world charm and new world convenience.”
”The hospitality industry represents yet
another vertical market our partners are aggressively pursuing on
our behalf,” stated Frank Simonelli, 5G Wireless Solutions Marketing
VP. “We were able to create a Wi-Fi Hotzone™ with 100% coverage
throughout the 11-story property using only 3 Indoor Base Stations.
What’s interesting about this installation is that the building used
to be a bank, and one of our standard indoor units is still able to
penetrate several floors worth of heavy-duty concrete, steel and
marble. And with the devices hidden in the ceilings of closets,
their presence is virtually invisible.”
What is visible is a rooftop internet kiosk,
allowing public access in the community area near the restaurant and
lounge overlooking the city, This kiosk also serves to promote the
availability of wireless access in individual hotel rooms and even
offers marketing opportunities for local tourist attractions.
Transnet Wireless Corporation (http://www.transnetwireless.com/)
is a supplier of public internet systems available in pedestal,
desktop, countertop and wall mounted configurations. These terminals
provide both single session high-speed internet access by the minute
and function as Base Stations creating wireless hot spots for access
by the hour for up to 100 simultaneous users. The Transnet terminals
also offer interactive advertising opportunities for both national
and local marketers, and represent a point of presence to accelerate
awareness of public wireless access services.
“The Gaslamp hotel represents another instance
where the Transnet group has turned to 5G Solutions to extend the
coverage of their kiosk base units,” added Mr. Simonelli. “Other
installations include RV parks, marinas, airports and other
facilities that cater to travelers. We have a backlog of individual
Transnet distributors also seeking our assistance in broadening
their ability to create hotzones rather than hot spots, and we are
committed to working with each of them as they gain traction in this
exciting, burgeoning market.”
