AmericInn Names Telkonet Preferred HSIA Vendor Following Proven Success

AmericInn hotels has chosen Telkonet, Inc., one of the nation's largest hospitality High-Speed Internet Access (HSIA) networks, as a Preferred Vendor for wireless Internet access services. The EthoStream Hospitality Network was selected because of the success demonstrated across a number of corporate managed and franchised locations over the past five years. In the past year alone, more than 176,000 users have accessed the EthoStream Hospitality Network at an AmericInn hotel. The EthoStream Remote Management Console will allow the monitoring of the performance of each location from a single application, ensuring a consistent and high-quality Internet experience at every participating location.

With more than 215 hotels spread across 22 states, and growing, AmericInn's key to success is its dedication to providing the highest level of customer service and the amenities that value-conscience travelers look for when on the road. This is further strengthened by the selection of the EthoStream Hospitality Network as a Preferred Vendor for AmericInn's property-wide wired and wireless Internet connectivity, keeping guests connected while on the road.

"We continue to be very pleased with the outstanding level of service and support from EthoStream. From our new build properties to our existing properties, the reliability of the EthoStream Hospitality Network has been excellent," says Howard Anderson, vice president at Three Rivers Hospitality, which manages AmericInn's 21 corporately run properties. "Installation of the equipment has been completed in a professional manner, the training is always thorough, and the guest support has been well received. We will continue to choose EthoStream for our future projects."

Telkonet will also be working closely with AmericInn to improve energy efficiency throughout the brand through the offering of its SmartEnergy solution for energy management. In working closely with Telkonet on property improvements such as the installation of the Telkonet SmartEnergy solution, AmericInn will be able to achieve significant energy savings and cost reductions as well as a positive environmental impact.
