CYBERTOTEMS AND KOOLCONNECT� UNITE TO SERVE THE HOSPITALITY SECTOR
FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA
(June 28, 2001) CyberTotems, a full service
developer and manufacturer of interactive multimedia kiosks with facilities
in the U.S., Europe and South America, and KoolConnect� Technologies, Inc.,
a leading provider of interactive and broadband solutions, have formed a
strategic partnership in order to penetrate the hospitality industry.
The partnership will allow both CyberTotems and KoolConnect� to retain their
core competencies while simplifying the implementation and installation
process for hotel entertainment systems across the country. The alliance
plans to capitalize on both companies� ability to reduce a hotel�s operating
costs, while providing options for them to earn additional revenues.
CyberTotems multimedia terminals go well beyond the capabilities of the
traditional information kiosk, including models for information transfer,
receipt printing, credit and smart card processing, videoconferencing,
proximity sensors, ticket dispensing and building access control. Custom
hardware and software can also be designed for clients where a specific
style and/or functions are required. CyberTotems kiosks feature durable
steel enclosures in a variety of attractive, contemporary designs, with
high-resolution graphics and state-of-the-art electronic components.
KoolConnect� is an innovative Entertainment and Internet connectivity
solutions company, focused on the hospitality industry. Their unique
solution blends complete Digital Video entertainment solutions, In-room
high-speed Internet connectivity, and integrated hotel messaging and
Concierge services into one simple, easy-to-use system. KoolConnect�s
unique offering allows hotels to provide their guests with a superior array
of business information and entertainment services on one easy-to-use
digital platform. Guests will be able to access express check in and check
out, customized concierge services, hotel property information, local
information as well as customized/targeted advertising. In addition,
KoolConnect�s web based interface provides a complete, scaleable solution
that can be seamlessly integrated into existing hotel telecommunications
networks, or built from the ground up.
�Credibility, expertise in the market of wireless content delivery and
reputation in the industry are some of the reasons we chose to work with
CyberTotems,� said Eran Segev, President of KoolConnect. �Our ability to
bundle CyberTotems as an additional service within our product offering
provides KoolConnect with an advantage in today�s market place. In turn,
CyberTotems will market KoolConnect�s products to their hotel clients.�
�Hotel kiosks are a terrific resource for the hospitality industry. They
can provide convenient, up-to-date information and services to hotel guests,
and the advertising opportunities benefit both the hotel and local
businesses - a win/win situation for everyone involved,� says Robert
Gallner, VP of Sales & Marketing for CyberTotems.
