Datavalet announced today that Air Canada has, once again, selected Datavalet as their partner of choice for offering high-speed Internet access in their 19 Maple Leaf lounges across Canada and internationally.

Datavalet, who has been providing both wired and wireless Internet access in the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounges since 2002, has renewed their contract for offering the service within the lounges for the next 3 years.

“Datavalet’s proven track record and reliable service that they have been providing us to date, made the decision to continue with their managed service an obvious choice,” said Rick Simoneau, Manager Premium Marketing Partnerships of Air Canada. “For Air Canada and our business travelers, security, ease-of-use and customer service are key elements with respect to our Internet access service in the lounges. Datavalet meets all of these prerequisites with their comprehensive managed service.”

The Datavalet solution will supply both wired and wireless high-speed Internet access in all Air Canada's Maple Leaf Lounges. The Wi-Fi coverage provides guests to the lounge with the ability to access Datavalet high-speed services from any point within the lounge using a wireless device, such as a PDA or a laptop computer. Air Canada customers with wired devices simply connect to any one of the available wired ports conveniently located throughout the lounge. In addition, all of the fixed PCs within the Lounges’ Business Centres also have access to the high-speed Internet access network.
