[June 10, 2013] Nordic Choice chooses Telenor as supplier of computer networks Tweet Jun 10, 2013 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Nordic Choice Hospitality Group AS has chosen Telenor, a provider of telecommunications services, as the supplier of computer networks to its hotels in the Nordic region. Through the agreement with Telenor, Nordic Choice will now receive broadband with a capacity of up to 1 Gbps to its hotels in Norway and Sweden. The higher capacity will be used for hotel operations and WiFi zones for hotel and conference guests at the chain's Nordic hotels. "The agreement we have entered into with Telenor is an important step in our strategic IT initiatives. High internet capacity is a prerequisite for meeting the usage needs of guests. The usage pattern of guests is constantly changing, and today's hotel guests often have between three and five devices that require high capacity internet access. In the short term, the agreement ensures that 170 Nordic Choice hotels are able to deliver the best internet access on the market to their guests and employees, and we're proud of that," said Steinar Lien, Product Manager at Nordic Choice. The agreement is a continuation of the strategic cooperation between Nordic Choice and Telenor that thus far has included fixed and mobile telephony, VoIP, SMS services, WAN and WLAN (WiFi zones). With the new agreement, the hotel chain's data infrastructure is being brought together on a single network. "We are very pleased to be chosen in a competition against the largest Nordic IT companies operating in the market. This is an important continuation of our existing cooperation with Nordic Choice," said Bjorn Ivar Moen, business market manager at Telenor. http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
