[{"type":"text","content":"\n\nUnits Are Authenticated onto the LeoNovus Network, Adding Geo-Dispersed Capacity\n\n\n\n\nSUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 16, 2014 /CNW/ - LeoNovus® Inc. (\"LeoNovus\") (TSXV: LTV), a leading Internet and Cloud provider with its SMART Media Platform and geo-dispersed distributed cloud network announced today that all available rooms with distributed gateway units are activated and installed in the first hotel property, with the exception of two floors that are expected to be completed with units in the next thirty days.
