MEMPHIS, Tenn. (March 16, 2004) -- WorldSpice Technologies has successfully launched a new product focused on high-speed Internet solutions for the hospitality industry. The product is called "GuestVelocity" and is installed in several states, including a hotel in downtown, Washington, D.C.

GuestVelocity's "plug-and-play" Internet solution works with laptops equipped with built-in wireless chips, or those using a standard Wi-Fi (802.11) wireless Ethernet card. WorldSpice's President and Chief Executive Officer, Paul Tomes, stated "Guests will be able to log on without being confined to their work desk or modem port, with the freedom of connectivity. For added convenience, hotel guests without this technology may check out an access bridge at the front desk."

Hotel guests can browse the Internet, receive email, and access corporate VPN's right from their rooms and public meeting facilities throughout the hotel during their stay using Wi-Fi (802.11) technology.

With many competitors in the arena, GuestVelocity's differentiator is simple. The network is 100% warranted for the term of the contract by GuestVelocity as they install, maintain, and support the entire wireless network--always. No additional charges are ever incurred. Their total solution price provides the hotel the flexibility of providing this service as an amenity or on a per night charge. It's easy. It's fast. And it's up to 50 times faster than a dial-up connection. Guests are offered 24-hour toll-free technical support.

Today's savvy business travelers are demanding high-speed Internet access when they're away from home, so offering this service to hotels was an easy choice--especially since WorldSpice is a full-service Internet Service Provider with 10 years experience.

GuestVelocity is a product of WorldSpice Technologies, an established Internet Service Provider founded in 1994. Providing services to thousands of customers, WorldSpice is dedicated to providing their clients with unprecedented customer service, support, and technical leadership.
