Hotel chain gets wireless Net hook-up
The Toronto-based hotel chain completed installation earlier this month of WiFi Internet access based on the 802.11b specification in all conference rooms, lobbies and open areas of 56 luxury resorts worldwide.
That means any guest with a wireless-capable notebook can download e-mail or surf the Web at high speed while sipping a pina colada at a beach cabana without getting tangled in gangly cables.
Wyndham and Summerfield Suites hotel chains also offer WiFi access, but Four Seasons says its project is one of the most ambitious in the hotel industry. The chain simultaneously launched a program offering T1 line access to most individual hotel rooms. --Rachel Konrad, Special to ZDNet News
