HOTELpc provides high-speed access to an extensive array of entertainment, productivity, e-commerce, and informational resources – all with the purpose of maximizing travelers’ productivity and enjoyment while away from home or office. The integration of these value-added services into a dynamic, one-stop, easy-access portal represents a level of convenience and connectivity unavailable anywhere in the world.

The HOTELpc architecture is a worldwide-distributed network of servers, linked by high-speed leased lines, to establish a high-performance private network connecting hotels and travelers to the Internet, and to each other. This architecture combines state-of- the-art technologies and services from the telecom, wireless, and computer industries. It provides a scalable, high-capacity data-hosting portal to travelers around the world. Anticipating continued growth in wireless applications, HOTELpc web pages will be fully compatible with Wireless Area Protocol (WAP).
