Leading Executive Traveler Hotel Selects Inviz to Provide Unique Level of Broadband Connections For Guest Communications & Conference Support Inviz Network Continues National Hospitality Industry Rollout

LOS ANGELES, CA., March 19, 2003, (PR Newswire) --- As the race to provide wireless broadband access picks up speed across the nation, there’s now an even faster version of this hottest consumer and business communication capability. Advanced high-speed wireless broadband services from Inviz Network, Inc. (www.inviz.net) allows users to enjoy digital quality video and other interactive data applications—first at executive level hotels in select cities.

It was disclosed today that breakthrough Inviz Network service will be available at The Renaissance Los Angeles Hotel-Airport, a primary destination for business travelers, meetings and conferences.

In a joint announcement, Dan Lang, President, Inviz Network, Inc. and Gregory Lehman, General Manager, Renaissance Los Angeles-Airport, said next generation wireless Internet access would be available within 60 days. The 496-room Renaissance Hotel property serves Los Angeles International Airport travelers and major corporations nearby.

Inviz said it plans a major announcement shortly to detail other significant hotel properties which are in the process of securing access to its advanced high speed wireless offering.

Inviz was selected to provide premium level Wi-Fi service or what is known as ‘advanced wireless broadband’ for this Renaissance Hotel property, Mr. Lehman said, because "its offerings far surpass what is available to the hospitality industry and exceed the service demands of our corporate clients. For competitive reasons it is vital that we have the superior Inviz offering."

"Our business clients demand the highest levels of Internet connectivity for their business activities, and that includes conference and meetings support," Mr. Lehman said. "To remain a leader in our market, we must have access to superior wireless Internet services," he added. "Inviz Network gives us the tier of services needed to ensure even greater guest satisfaction and so that we may maximize the attractiveness of our property to our core customers."

For Inviz Network, the announcement marks a continuation of its national hospitality industry deployment, said Dan Lang, president, Inviz Network. "This is the fourth major hotel property to upgrade guest communication services by utilizing Inviz Network technology," Mr. Lang said. Other Inviz Network advanced wireless broadband systems are operating at The Radisson-Huntley Hotel, Hotel Oceana and Hotel Carmel, which are located in Santa Monica, California.

Using wireless technologies and proprietary Inviz Network capabilities, the company gives hospitality property interests and their customers access to the Internet at speeds far greater than currently possible using any other telephone or cable television network access provider, Mr. Lang said.

Inviz Network high speed wireless broadband service permits download speeds of up to 20 times faster and upload speeds of approximately 100 times faster than phone company DSL or cable, which virtually eliminates delays in accessing files or streaming media and in sending or receiving email, according to the Los Angeles-based company.

"We are giving hospitality managers a powerful new guest service and meetings support amenity that totally outperforms all similar services, while at the same time opening a reliable and important new revenue stream for their properties," Mr. Lang added. "Leading hospitality people are attracted to our service because it can provide an immediate upgrade for conference and meeting facilities. Inviz Network technology increases the value and utility of conference facilities and expands the marketing potential of underutilized hospitality property inventory."

The company said its wireless service is very different from competitive offerings because it utilizes ultra high capacity direct Internet connections to the worldwide web. It does not link to or use any portion of a hospitality property’s existing telecommunications gateways, which is the weakness of competitive providers.

In addition, because most Inviz Network, Inc. services do not require any capital outlay by hotel operators, it has captured the attention of hospitality interests across the nation. The company said development activities for its services are underway at hotel properties operating under the Radisson, Renaissance, Marriott, Sheraton, Hilton, Crowne Plaza, Quality Inn, Comfort Inn and other banners and select premium service level custom hotels.
