DENVER,
April 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Whether you're stuck in a show stopping
blizzard, or just have an hour to pass before boarding, the entertainment
options coming to DIA's Concourses will change your attitude about captivity.
ZOOX Stations, Inc. and RMES Communications, Inc. (RMES) have teamed up to
bring the first Internet and PC game Cafe to
Denver International Airport.
With a slick privacy booth enclosure, travelers can now go beyond just
checking their email and surfing the Internet. The ZOOX Stations cafe also
features 19 of the hottest PC game titles, available to play locally or
online. While these are the same titles gamers are addicted to in their home
XBox(TM) and PlayStation(TM) set-ups, the DIA equipment is guaranteed to blow
even the most spoiled gamer away.
The cafes are an innovative upgrade to the present "Shibby" Internet
equipment, which have been a mainstay to DIA travelers since 2002. While RMES
(DIA Internet provider) recognizes the ongoing demand for high-speed Internet,
they were also forward thinking in capitalizing on the huge popularity of
on-line gaming as a way to pass the time while captive in the terminal. The
23" screen is bolstered with an exceptional graphics card, sound system, and
high-speed performance that will take users from frustrated traveler to
engrossed gamer in record time. With 19 titles ranging from sophisticated
on-line games -- to simply addictive titles, there is something for everyone
(ESRB ratings from Everyone to Teen). In addition, game title content can be
continually upgraded to keep current with demanding market standards.
The interface guides users to one of two tiers of use -- High Speed
Internet or PC gaming. Quick links to popular sites like MySpace, YouTube,
and Google are one solid source of entertainment. The newer, gaming aspect
adds a whole new entertainment option that far surpasses the $7.00 concourse
burger.
The Internet and Game cafe is the creation of ZOOX Stations, a Louisville
based division of KIOSK Information Systems, the largest manufacturer of
self-serve terminals in the world. ZOOX Stations was incorporated in 2006 as
a subsidiary dedicated to development of cutting edge new products in the
pay-for-use environment. This cafe (branded as ZAZOOX outside the airport
environment) has been a slam-dunk performer with over 400 units ordered and
fielding in military bases, truck stops, and now airports. According to Rick
Malone, President of KIOSK and ZOOX Stations, "The single ingredient needed to
make this machine a gamer magnet is idle time. Our development team has
included the highest caliber gaming technology and a full complement of
industry leading title options that appeal to even the most sophisticated
gamer. With RMES' attention to quality operation, we are extremely confident
it will be a hit with DIA patrons."
The equipment is currently being installed in Concourses A, B, and C with
additional equipment and main terminal services scheduled by July of 2007.
Modestly priced at .25 / minute, users simply swipe their card to access a
private, upscale, and innovative entertainment escape. Ask anyone trapped in
the blizzard with their kids over Christmas -- it's cheap at twice the price.
