Sprint Offers High-Speed Wi-Fi Services for Convention and Meeting Visitors at Mohegan Sun to Help Customers Bring Their Office with Them

Mohegan Sun is first public venue to offer PCS Wi-Fi Access from Sprint over InnerWireless in-building system

September 16, 2002 [OVERLAND PARK, Kan.] – Today, Sprint (NYSE: FON, PCS) announced the availability of a new hassle-free way to stay plugged in while attending meetings or conventions at Mohegan Sun, one of the premier meeting, entertainment, gaming, dining and shopping destinations on the East Coast. PCS Wi-Fi Access is a new high-speed wireless data service that uses 802.11b technology to enable mobile professionals to replicate their desktop environment and to get remote access to the Internet, e-mail and corporate applications while away from the office. Mohegan Sun guests will enjoy the convenience and productivity benefits of high-speed Wi-Fi access in the facility’s convention area and meeting rooms – at speeds up to 100 times faster than standard dialup.

With more than 100,000 square feet of high-tech meeting and function space, Mohegan Sun houses the Northeast’s largest ballroom in addition to 30 conference and breakout rooms. PCS Wi-Fi Access from Sprint is distributed seamlessly throughout the convention area by InnerWireless, a broadband in-building wireless system from InnerWireless, a leading turnkey in-building wireless distribution systems company.

“Sprint is focused on providing public Wi-Fi services in locations such as airports, hotels and convention centers where customers need it most and can derive the greatest benefit,” said Phil Bowman, vice president, business marketing for the PCS Division of Sprint. “We are pleased to provide a Wi-Fi solution for Mohegan Sun that will make it simple and easy for business travelers and guests to wirelessly access important information at multi-megabit speeds and allow them to be productive while away from their office or home. PCS Wi-Fi Access is a perfect complement to customers already using PCS VisionSM services offered via the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, currently the largest next generation network in the United States.”

The new high-speed wireless service will allow Mohegan Sun guests to conduct business from anywhere in the convention area and meeting rooms. Customers will need a Wi-Fi Internet card or laptop embedded with Wi-Fi technology in order to take advantage of the service. While not required to use PCS Wi-Fi Access at Mohegan Sun, PCS Connection ManagerSM Software with Wi-Fi enables customers to manage the service in hundreds of other compatible public Wi-Fi ZONES in a consistent manner. To subscribe for the service, customers can download the software at www.sprintbusiness.com/pcsbusiness. The software includes the ability to detect Wi-Fi service, as well as a directory of all compatible PCS Wi-Fi Access locations that is automatically updated as new locations are added.

“Mohegan Sun prides itself for providing world-class services and amenities to our guests and patrons,” said Jonathan Arnesen, Mohegan Sun. “By implementing PCS Wi-Fi Access from Sprint, we can offer a cutting-edge technology that provides convenient, high-speed wireless connectivity to our guests in the convention and meeting areas. The InnerWireless system is ideal for our facility because it allows us to readily add new services like PCS Wi-Fi Access without system upgrades and delivers a consistent, reliable blanket of in-building wireless coverage.”

Through a combination of Wi-Fi ZONES‰ built and managed by Sprint and agreements with Wi-Fi service providers including Wayport, Airpath Wireless and Cometa Networks, Sprint expects PCS Wi-Fi Access to be available in a total of over 2,100 locations by early 2004. Mohegan Sun is the first Sprint owned and operated public Wi-Fi ZONE to be deployed in a large public venue as part of PCS Wi-Fi Access.

“We’re delighted that Sprint elected to use our InnerWireless system at Mohegan Sun to provide consistent, reliable coverage for their new public Wi-Fi service,” said Ed Cantwell, InnerWireless president and CEO. “Mohegan Sun has a clear and progressive vision of the power of wireless services and applications for their guests and as an enterprise. The PCS Wi-Fi Access deployment highlights their commitment to this vision and demonstrates our system’s ability to easily add and handle multiple wireless services and protocols, including Wi-Fi, over a single broadband infrastructure.”

PCS Wi-Fi Access is priced at $9.95 per connection, per location for 24 hours of unlimited access. Now through Dec. 31, 2003, users will receive a promotional discount of $3.00 off on all PCS Wi-Fi Access connections for a rate of $6.95 for 24 hours of unlimited use at compatible locations. Customers can get information about their PCS Wi-Fi Access account by calling 1-866-PCS-WiFi from any phone or pressing #-W-i-F-i from their PCS Phone.
