NEW ORLEANS The Four Points by Sheraton New Orleans has installed high-speed wireless Internet, provided by Cisco Solutions. Guests can now log-on from virtually anywhere in the hotel.
“There are receivers in the hallways, the public spaces, the banquet areas, the restaurant, and the pool,” said Jamal Masoud/general manager of the hotel.
Guests can connect at no charge provided they have their own Ethernet card. If not, the hotel s front desk will supply a card for sale or rent. Guests are also provided 24-hour technical assistance by RoomlinX.
Prior to the wireless installation, guests had to log-on via a telephone jack, which was an “inconvenient for them because they were not able to talk on the phone and use the Internet at the same time,” said Masoud.
The Four Points by Sheraton joins the W Hotel New Orleans as the second hotel in the city to offer the new wireless technology. (4/12/01) Diana M. Rodriguez
