| COA Powers Wi-Fi at Stop & Shop Locations ICOA, Inc., a national provider of wireless broadband Internet networks and managed services in high-traffic public locations, today announced that it is powering Stop & Shop's Wi-Fi initiative. Stop & Shop tested the technology in their corporate headquarters waiting room this summer. Based on the success of that trial, the company, which has more than 360 stores throughout New England, New York and New Jersey, has begun rolling out free amenity wireless Internet access for its customers. The first store to offer this service is Stop & Shop's South Bay Plaza outlet in Dorchester, Massachusetts. Stop & Shop selected ICOA to furnish equipment, system monitoring, and provide customer care for their Wi-Fi service. "We are pleased to have been selected by a service oriented company such as Stop & Shop, " said ICOA's CEO Rick Schiffmann. "Providing Internet access in their cafe seating area is another service that helps their customers accomplish more during their busy day." "The ability to stop and surf, and maybe have a meal or a cup of coffee is yet another convenience for our customers, " adds Stop & Shop's Mike Drumm. "We look forward to working closely with ICOA during the rollout to optimize our overall customer experience." Installation of the service at additional Stop & Shop locations is expected to begin early in 2006. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
