DoubleTree Hotel and Executive Meeting Center's NEW T1 Service Says "Welcome to the Web"
Somerset, NJ -- It's the 21st century. We send mail electronically. We surf the Web, conducting research, checking scores and stocks, visiting chat rooms and discussion groups. There's on-line shopping, hotel reservations and a million other things to do. All this is conducted in real time - at the click of the mouse. But connections, especially when using a modem, can be temperamental. One minute you're surfing, the next minute you're in water.
Enter T1 speed. Better than ISDN & DSL, this dedicated "always on" connection is up to 50 times faster than a standard modem connection, saving both time and money. "It's simply more productive - and that's exactly what meeting planners and attendees want," says Stewart Young, National Director of Account Management, Core Communications Corporation.
It's exactly what the Doubletree Hotel & Executive Meeting Center in Somerset, New Jersey provides its meeting attendees.

In service driven industries, providing the customer the tools and support they need in order to be successful is the ultimate goal. BLC Consulting, a Connecticut-based software development and consulting firm, recently had a client who wanted to utilize an off-site location for an extended period of time. The client preferred service identical to their organization's on-site environment. Their needs were that of real time access to information, email and the World Wide Web. "We have worked with a Doubletree Executive Meeting Center before and knew the caliber of the individuals and the quality of the service they provide their clients, said Kuo-Shin Chi, President, BLC Consulting. "For us, the choice of the site location was a no-brainer."
"The EMC staff made us feel at home," said Bryan Feldman, Chief Technology Officer, BLC Consulting. "They fulfilled every request with a level of professionalism and courtesy that was second to none. The recently added T1 service installed within the hotel was an added bonus. We were prepared to use the traditional ISDN service to safely communicate back to our client's network, however when we learned of the availability of a T1, we opted for the increased bandwidth. Through a VPN gateway we established a secure tunnel back to our network.
The speed at which we were able to transmit data was remarkable and the client truly felt that they had never even left the office. The service provided made us feel as if we were in 'a home away from home.'"
"Technology is a few steps ahead of the meeting planner," said David Cartier, Director of Sales & Marketing, Doubletree Hotel and Executive Meeting Center Somerset. "We are still in the process of getting the word out that T1 access holds numerous possibilities." T1 service can take a meeting to a new level. With speeds up to 50 times faster than a normal dial-up modem, web casting, web conferencing and a virtual office are just some of the benefits of the T1 technology offered by the Doubletree Somerset.
