Unisys Closes Multimillion-Dollar Deal with Gaylord Palms

ORLANDO-Nobody is talking price but Nashville, TN-based Gaylord Entertainment Co. is pleased with the fast-track, four-week installation of a multimillion-dollar, high-speed Internet access system by Unisys Corp. of Blue Bell, PA at the three-month-old, $450 million, 1406-room Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center near Walt Disney World.

“Our business depends on providing our guests with the best services possible,” John Caparella, general manager, Gaylord Palms, says in a prepared statement. “Offering them high-speed Internet access is an absolute necessity.”

The Internet connections were made over Gaylord Palms’ 65-acre tract which sits on Xentury City Development Co.’s 400-acre spread bounded by south International Drive, Osceola Parkway and Central Florida Greenway, 20 miles south of Downtown Orlando.
