FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -------------------------- Of interest to editors/authors covering: Regional News (Missouri); Real Estate TTAir Offers Property Managers a Wireless Internet Amenity for Their Tenants ST. LOUIS, Mo. - April 28, 2003 /PRnetwire/ -- Tomatilla Technologies, a St. Louis provider of IT solutions for businesses, announces the TTAir wireless Internet service designed to offer rental property owners and managers a high-tech amenity to attract and retain tenants. In today's tight rental markets, property owners are looking for new amenities to offer their tenants or prospective tenants to attract and retain income and minimize vacancy levels in their properties. Some property owners are providing individual amenities to tenants, from DVD players to free months of rent, to attract new customers. However, these property managers must balance the cost of installation and maintenance of these amenities against the number of tenants impacted. Tomatilla's TTAir service provides an amenity that each user in the complex can use, but an amenity the property manager can provide to all new and all current tenants at once. Through TTAir, tenants can connect to the Internet from anywhere in the complex, from the renter's own unit to the common areas shared by all tenants, using any wireless-enabled device. TTAir supports all the Internet capability of a line-based connection, including e-mail, Web browsing, streaming media, instant messaging, and Wi-Fi telephony. Unlike a traditional Internet connection, however, the user is not bound to a phone jack or cable connection and can access their Internet connection wherever they want. Property managers centralize the installation of this amenity and spread its costs over all tenants within the complex, and future tenants can use TTAir, making a wireless Internet investment more cost-effective than other amenities consumed by individual tenants. As part of the TTAir Service, Tomatilla Technologies surveys the site, arranges equipment installation, and manages Internet connectivity and security. Tomatilla Technologies lets property managers concentrate on managing the property, not on maintaining a computer network. Wireless technologies are become more prevalent in the public space. In addition to free hot-spots, some hotel chains offer wireless access to guests, and certain coffee shops and restaurants allow patrons to check their e-mail. As connected tenants become accustomed to wireless access, they will certainly appreciate the same type of access at home. TTAir provides the means for property managers to tap into this burgeoning demand to attract and retain tenants.
