Commuters traveling on New York Waterway's (www.nywaterway.com) ferries to Manhattan departing from Weehawken, NJ, on Tuesday, October 18, 2005 will be treated to free Wi-Fi service at the Port Imperial Terminal as part of GattoBroadband's (www.gattobroadband.com) service launch. A news conference featuring product and vehicle demonstration will take place on Wednesday, October 19, 2005 at Buster's Garage located at 180 West Broadway, New York, NY from 11:00 AM-12:00 PM.
GattoBroadband is a product of GattoMedia Inc, a company started by New York City broadcasting and technology veteran Tony Gatto. GattoMedia is in the process of rolling out its GattoBroadband "High-Speed Internet on Wheels" service to the New York Metropolitan Area. Satellite vehicles will be on-call, ready to be dispatched to breaking news stories, live events, news conferences, remote locations and areas that are under-served by current Internet access methods.
"GattoBroadband provides a truly self-contained mobile newsroom and Wi-Fi hotspot option for breaking news stories and remote events," said President of GattoMedia, Tony Gatto, while announcing the launch. “We hope to provide a solution for organizations that need immediate broadband Internet access, but may not have the means to do so through traditional methods.”
The GattoBroadband vehicles, developed in association with IP Access International of San Juan Capistrano, CA, feature multiple-line VOIP (Voice-Over-Internet-Protocol) phone service and high quality voice and data channels available through IP and Inmarsat M4. Keeping with the mission of providing a completely mobile newsroom, the vehicles will offer both standard and e-fax faxing capabilities, wireless printers, photocopying, image-scanning and high-end digital audio production. In addition, the vehicles will be able to offer video services, both live and store-and-forward, for such applications as breaking news, webcasts, streaming media and video-conferencing.
GattoBroadband offers one time use opportunities or long term contracts for its service, with contracted customers getting first priority access to the vehicles. Rates will be determined based on the size and scope of each client and event. GattoBroadband is planning to expand service to Los Angeles, Washington and Atlanta in the first quarter of 2006.
