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.
