GATTOBROADBAND TO OFFER FREE WI-FI TO
NEW YORK WATERWAY COMMUTERS
NEW YORK, NY- Commuters traveling on New York Waterway's
(www.nywaterway.com) ferries to Manhattan departing from Weehawken,
NJ, on Tuesday, October 18, 2005 will be treated to free Wi-Fi
service at the Port Imperial Terminal as part of GattoBroadband's
(www.gattobroadband.com) service launch. A news conference featuring
product and vehicle demonstration will take place on Wednesday,
October 19, 2005 at Buster's Garage located at 180 West Broadway, New
York, NY from 11:00 AM-12:00 PM.
GattoBroadband is a product of GattoMedia Inc, a company started by
New York City broadcasting and technology veteran Tony Gatto.
GattoMedia is in the process of rolling out its GattoBroadband "High-
Speed Internet on Wheels" service to the New York Metropolitan Area.
Satellite vehicles will be on-call, ready to be dispatched to
breaking news stories, live events, news conferences, remote
locations and areas that are under-served by current Internet access
methods.
"GattoBroadband provides a truly self-contained mobile newsroom and
Wi-Fi hotspot option for breaking news stories and remote events,"
said President of GattoMedia, Tony Gatto, while announcing the
launch. “We hope to provide a solution for organizations that need
immediate broadband Internet access, but may not have the means to do
so through traditional methods.”
The GattoBroadband vehicles, developed in association with IP Access
International of San Juan Capistrano, CA, feature multiple-line VOIP
(Voice-Over-Internet-Protocol) phone service and high quality voice
and data channels available through IP and Inmarsat M4. Keeping with
the mission of providing a completely mobile newsroom, the vehicles
will offer both standard and e-fax faxing capabilities, wireless
printers, photocopying, image-scanning and high-end digital audio
production. In addition, the vehicles will be able to offer video
services, both live and store-and-forward, for such applications as
breaking news, webcasts, streaming media and video-conferencing.
GattoBroadband offers one time use opportunities or long term
contracts for its service, with contracted customers getting first
priority access to the vehicles. Rates will be determined based on
the size and scope of each client and event. GattoBroadband is
planning to expand service to Los Angeles, Washington and Atlanta in
the first quarter of 2006.
