announced that it will introduce its stylish, friend@public(TM)

industry at The Tradeshow About Tradeshows® (TS2) August 14 -16,

making them ideal for frequent exhibitors.''
The friend@public(TM) Intelligent Internet Station(TM) is a high
impact, elegant way for exhibitors to disseminate information, make
for a point of service or offer internet connectivity on-site at trade
shows, conferences or any public gathering. The standalone plug and
play system can deliver rich online and offline content including
e-commerce, internet, intranet and e-mail as well as sophisticated
interactive multimedia. Other advanced features include
friend@media(TM) software, which allows trade show attendees to view
and interact with live broadcasts of events and offers exhibitors a
simplified way to blend, distribute and display all forms of ``rich''
media.
