Serotek today unveiled its newest product, the AE HotSpot, at the  
2010 ATIA conference in Orlando, FL. This revolutionary appliance,  
based on the same technology as Serotek's Web-based Accessible Event  
service, gives people with disabilities access to classroom  
presentations, seminars, and other events. For the first time,  
people who have hearing or visual impairments can take full  
advantage of all aspects of any online or on-site event/presentation.

By leveraging our Accessible Event platform and secure wireless  
networking technology, Serotek's AE HotSpot appliance allows event  
participants with disabilities to access slides, Excel spreadsheets,  
Web pages, and Word documents using their own wireless-enabled  
computers and access technology in real time. With the AE HotSpot,  
an event can be accessed from the Internet if the event coordinator  
wishes, but an Internet connection is not necessary for on-site  
participants to have full access to the event. That's because the AE  
HotSpot appliance is a completely independent WiFi access point.  
This allows the event coordinator and/or presenter to decide what  
content will and will not be available to the attendees. The self- 
contained nature of this appliance enables a closed, secure Intranet  
environment, regardless of whether Internet connectivity is  
available. However, where Internet connectivity is available, the  
event coordinator can configure the AE HotSpot appliance to provide  
wireless Internet access as well as access to the event. The AE  
HotSpot can also record all event content and publish it on a web  
site or intranet with no need to install additional software on the  
target server. This enables anyone to deploy an accessible recording  
of an event, even if they don't subscribe to the Web-based  
Accessible Event service.

Serotek will release the AE HotSpot soon.
