Noble Investment, which owns and operates 23 hotels, consistently is ranked among today�s top hotel management companies. Its leaders strongly believe that StayOnline�s wireless connectivity solutions will take the collection of properties to the next level � in terms of guest service and amenities, competitiveness, and overall productivity and profitability.

Mitesh �Mit� Shah, president and COO of Noble Investment Group, said the next phase of the company�s StayOnline endorsement will include the expansion of the system to several select properties in the Noble Investment portfolio. Shah said Noble Investment�s deployment of StayOnline�s SuiteOnline complete wireless connectivity solution has already played a major role in the recent $15 million renovation and repositioning of the Crowne Plaza from a former Holiday Inn property.

�StayOnline delivered an exceptional product,� Shah said. �SuiteOnline is a uniquely cost effective, secure and advanced wireless solution. Just as important, StayOnline couples this cutting-edge technology with informative training programs, professional support, user friendly marketing collateral and powerful sales cooperatives that together ensure that both our investment and the payback period are minimal.�

Contagious Connectivity
Noble Investment first partnered with StayOnline two years ago. That project involved hard-wired high-speed access and in-room PC�s at one of its Homewood Suites.

�Much has changed in this particular segment of hospitality technology since that installation, but we take pride in the fact that while our technology continues to evolve, our commitment to our hotel clients and their guests has remained constant,� said Antonio DiMilia, president and co-founder of StayOnline. �StayOnline was founded with the idea that hotel technology amenities must benefit operators, employees and guests alike and be equally accessible and affordable to all three parties.�

Michael Robinson, Noble Investment�s manager of information technology, said StayOnline�s SuiteOnline solution is the only fully supported, completely wireless connectivity package.

Robinson said StayOnline is in rare company because its managers actually spend more face and phone time with clients after a sale than when trying to close a sale.

�Unlike some of its predecessors, StayOnline doesn�t just make promises, wash its hands and walk away,� Robinson said. �Sure, it�s a big sell that the SuiteOnline solution is the only fully integrated completely wireless solution on the market � but the equipment is just half of the equation. The people, knowledge and resources behind this technology are equally important.

�With StayOnline, we knew we had found a high-speed access partner with a commitment to customer support that rivaled its unique wireless connectivity solution,� he said. �StayOnline helped us cap our costs, uncover new transient and corporate meetings business, and gain a competitive advantage � an edge we plan to expand throughout our collection of properties.�
