WARWICK RI -/February 22, 2006 - Wi-Fi Technology News/- Following its acquisition in July, 2005 of Cafe.com locations, including the privately branded Denny's Wireless Internet network, ICOA (OTC BB: ICOA), announced that the company has re-launched the Denny's Wireless Internet service as an amenity based network, continuing to bring free wireless Internet access (Wi-Fi) to Denny's restaurants across the USA and Canada.
ICOA worked with Colubris Networks to design a highly reliable, enterprise quality, solution for the Denny's network. Alan Kobran V.P. of Marketing at ICOA Inc, states: "All of us at ICOA are thrilled to be working with Colubris to offer Denny's customers an amenity service that is easy to use and provides strong wireless security. The solution integrates seamlessly into ICOA's customer care operations, enabling us to deliver a high quality service to Denny's patrons that enhances the company's brand and improves the restaurant experience."
"We've had Denny's Wireless Internet in our restaurant for close to two years and our customers love it," said Joe Terrell, board member of the Denny's Franchisee Association. "Now that we're offering it free, usage is growing by leaps and bounds which adds to my top and bottom line."
Brian St James a franchisee in Palo Alto, CA stated, "I have customers who told me they're passing up going to the local Starbucks which has a fee based network and are coming to my Denny's simply because we offer the amenity based Denny's Wireless Internet. ICOA's Denny's Wireless Internet is bringing in new customers and repeat business. This product really hit the target."
Rick Schiffmann ICOA CEO stated: "Our experience in delivering custom Wi-Fi solutions inside the QSR market to companies like Panera Bread, Panda Express and Au Bon Pain makes us a great fit with the Denny's restaurant chain. There is a Denny's restaurant at almost every off-ramp in America, with locations open 24 hours.
