Telkonet iWire System Solves Internet Access at Sunwing Resorts

Telkonet's system selected by Sunwing Resorts for its speed of installation and low Total Cost of Ownership, to deliver resort-wide, high-speed Internet access to guests.

GERMANTOWN, Md.--

Telkonet, Inc. (AMEX:TKO), the leading technology solutions provider for broadband networking, end-to-end service support and energy management, reports that its Telkonet iWire System(TM) has been installed by Sunwing Resorts at their properties on the Greek islands of Crete and Rhodes, and in the Canary Islands. Part of Thomas Cook Northern Europe, and headquartered in Sweden, Sunwing Resorts selected Telkonet's technology as representing the simplest and most economical option for providing broadband Internet access throughout the resorts' 1,142 guest rooms. The systems were supplied by Aketoma AB, a Telkonet reseller based in Sundbyberg, Sweden, with further installations scheduled for other Sunwing Resorts sites in the Mediterranean.

The Telkonet iWire System harnesses a site's existing electrical infrastructure to form an IP network, turning power outlets into data ports, while leaving the electrical functionality unaffected, and making it one of the fastest, most economical and least disruptive methods of achieving high-speed Internet availability throughout a hotel or resort. Although some of Sunwing Resorts' buildings were over thirty years old, Telkonet's system was connected straight into their existing distribution boards, utilizing the buildings' electrical cabling without any new wiring.

Marco Schenk, IT Manager for Sunwing Resorts, commented: "It was essential for us to provide our guests with broadband facilities, in order to remain competitive. We had originally been considering WiFi, but our research showed that the Telkonet iWire System represented a far more economical solution, especially given the complexity of our resorts. The widely-spread multi-building layouts, and construction of some of our resort sites - such as the concrete walls of the Sunwing Resort Fanabe on Tenerife - would have made it extremely difficult to get adequate coverage from a WiFi solution within a feasible budget. Telkonet's solution offers quick and straightforward installation, and even our most complex site, on Rhodes, was up and running within a few days. The system's easy installation, which avoided disturbing our resorts' operation, combined with its low Total Cost of Ownership, makes it an ideal solution for any hotel complex without an existing CAT 5 infrastructure."

Resort guests connect their laptops to the Internet via Telkonet iBridge(TM) interface units, which can be plugged into power outlets throughout the resorts for convenient access. The ability of Telkonet's technology to cope with the geographic complexity of the resort installations, within the budget and timeframe, was key to its selection by Sunwing Resorts, with the Telkonet iWire System being deployed at:

    --  Sunwing Resort Fanabe on Tenerife in the Canary Islands,
        serving 241 guest rooms;

    --  Sunwing Resort Makrigialos on Crete, serving 307 rooms spread
        across 6 separate blocks;

    --  Sunwing Resort Kallithea and SunGarden Rhodos on Rhodes,
        serving a total of 594 guest rooms in 6 separate blocks,
        comprising a 5-story main building plus up to 20 smaller
        buildings in each block.
