Wolfgang Candy Company Becomes North York�s
First �Wireless Hotspot�
Wolfgang�s Das Sweetenhaus Candy Shoppe now offers coffee, chocolate and
wireless broadband Internet access
YORK, Pa. - Wolfgang Candy Company Inc. today announced that it has become North York�s first �wireless hotspot,� with the company�s recent server system upgrade providing visitors to Wolfgang�s Das Sweetenhaus Candy Shoppe with high-speed, wireless Internet access. As a wireless hotspot, Wolfgang can now offer local business people - and any other laptop-toting members of the community - a relaxing atmosphere in which to enjoy a comfortable chair and a hot cup of gourmet coffee, while catching up on emails or surfing the Web.
Wolfgang Candy was ramped up for wireless by the leading regional provider of comprehensive business solutions, Mechanicsburg-based NetComm Solutions, which works with a variety of commercial, education, and government clients throughout the state of Pennsylvania.
�Creating a wireless network in a chocolate factory was a first for us,� said Paul Roos, vice president of marketing at Netcomm Solutions Inc. �We were really impressed by the forward-thinking management team at Wolfgang Candy that recognized the huge draw a wireless hotspot represents in any community. Coffee, computers and great chocolate - what a unique way for local business people to relax and get some work done away from the office!�
Wireless hotspots are springing up in coffee shops and other venues across the country as businesses recognize the benefits of meeting the ever-increasing demand by mobile professionals and countless other laptop users for wireless Internet access.
�Wireless hotspots are fast becoming essential in today�s highly connected and highly mobile world,� said Mike Schmid, managing partner at Wolfgang Candy Company. �Certainly there are folks throughout the greater York area who can appreciate this type of innovation, and we are proud to be the first in North York to acknowledge the trend and offer this service to our customers and our community.�
