Somerset PCT is meeting the ever increasing demand for publicly available Wireless Internet access by instigating a project to install WiFi Sparks public hotspot and managed service solution into multiple sites.

The first to benefit is Lyngford House conference centre in Taunton. This 1830s converted manor house and adjacent purpose built conference centre provides modern conference facilities, accommodation and meeting rooms for large numbers of delegates.

The 4 star Osborne Hotel in Torquay is now providing WiFi SPARK's wireless internet to all its guests. The solution consists of our SPARK Lite solution extended with 16 Access Points throughout the hotel and it's time share appartments.

The service is very simple to use and guests staying within the hotel have free access to the WiFi using a voucher that is given to them upon check-in at the hotel. Other customers connecting to the service with their wireless device will be redirected to the WiFi login page which has a very similar look and feel to the existing Osborne Website. From this page, customers are then able to buy time for the internet using a credit card or browse a selection of free sites that are available.

The beginning of October saw the rollout of 44 SPARK HotSpots into Revolution Vodka Bars across the UK. The hotspots are free to use for Revolution customers enabling them to check emails or browse the internet using their laptop, mobile or PDA in the comfort of one of these stylish venues. To see a list of locations, take a look at our HotSpot Map.

This summer saw many more marinas and harbours providing internet to their berth holders and visitors. WiFi SPARK has now doubled last years marinas from 19 to 44. Salcombe harbour is one of our latest marinas to become SPARK enabled and providing WiFi to this very beatiful location in South Devon
