Guests at 9 Local Hotels Stay Connected at No Extra Cost

Rochester, NY - With the help of Frontier Communications, the EJ Del Monte Corporation, owner and operator of 9 local Marriott hotels and the Spa at the Del Monte, now offers free wireless Internet access to all hotel guests. With a WiFi enabled device, such as a laptop, mobile phone, PDA, iPod, guests will be able to connect wirelessly to the Internet.

"Many hotels still charge for wireless Internet access," says Jim Pestke, vice president of Hotel Operations at EJ Del Monte Corporation. "By partnering with an established expert like Frontier, we are able to offer our customers the best quality service and technology that they require when they are traveling for business or pleasure."

Guests will have free wireless access from their hotel rooms and from common areas in the hotel, such as the lobby. Frontier is providing both wired and wireless services to the hotels. With this flexibility, if guests do not require a wireless connection, they can still access the Internet with a wired connection. Fiber-optic technology being used by Frontier will allow users to take advantage of fast upload and download speeds.

"Frontier is focused on providing solutions that are not only at the top of the technology curve, but are cost-effective and help our partners grow their business," said Ann Burr, Chairman, Frontier Communications of Rochester. "We look forward to our continued relationship and meeting the growing needs of the EJ Del Monte Corporation and their customers."

Frontier's fiber-optic based Metro Ethernet technology provides symmetrical upload and download speeds, allowing users to send and receive data over the Internet fast and conveniently. This technology is also highly scalable, allowing businesses the increased technological flexibility that they need as they continue to grow.

"As technology continues to evolve and people are required to ‘stay connected’ wherever they are, we need to look for ways to make sure our guests get the most out of their stay," says Pestke. "Whether they are a business traveler who needs to get work done or a leisure traveler who is researching local attractions, we make it easier for them to access that information."
