After more than 20 successful IPTV installs across the UK and Europe, Swisscom is proud to announce:
ConnectedHotel TV
The first complete solution for TV, entertainment, wired and wireless Internet access, all combined into one device and one system!
Swisscom HotelConnected TV is the first hospitality TV solution that connects your guests to the Internet via a flat HD TV screen from LG without the need for set-top boxes or extra cabling.
Coax, Ethernet or VDSL: Now IP entertainment works either way.
To date, hotels with Coax cabling have had limited options to upgrade their TV system. However, ConnectedHotel TV is compatible with any distribution network – Coax, Ethernet or the telephone cable – and will delight guests with a personalized, interactive HD TV experience in combination with Swisscom IPTV features:
- TV Mosaic (intuitive mosaic-style display of all programs)
- Personalised channel line-up
- Electronic program guide
- Virtual DVD Player with free trailers, search functions and a handy bookmark function for guests to pause and resume watching
HD videos and Flash: Without a set-top box!
LG’s new hospitality TV screen – the LD650H – fully supports two-way communication, streaming media and Flash technology without an external device. This translates into lower acquisition and installation cost (capital expenditure) as well as reduced energy consumption and maintenance cost (operational expenditure).
Wired and Wireless Internet: Through the TV screen.
The new HD screen from LG comes with an embedded IP switch enabling Wired and Wireless Internet connectivity, making your WiFi access points redundant. Nor do you need any separate Ethernet jacks to offer wired Internet access – the LD650H has an extendable Ethernet cable that can be plugged into a laptop.
Fully managed: All the way to the screen!
Being the first connected hospitality TV set, the LD650H can be completely monitored through our IP network.
Here is an overview of our proven IPTV features that are available thanks to ConnectedHotel TV:
- Dynamic, personalised user interface – programs and videos are sorted to reflect the guest’s profile and viewing habits
- TV Mosaic – our unique industry standard TV Mosaic arranges all programs in an intelligent grid
- Electronic program guide – guests can browse through all TV channels and see what’s playing at any given time
- Virtual DVD Player – intelligent search functions and free trailers make it easy to choose movies
Tap into the Web!
On our ConnectedHotel TVs, you can feature Web-based services such as local weather forecasts, real-time flight information, news portals, stock exchange data or video sharing sites through customized widgets. Working with the Web as an additional content source, you can quickly react to emerging guest demand and exploit new revenue models.
Post and manage your own content
Our solution provides an excellent platform for you to promote your services on screen. For example, when your guests return from a hard day’s work, why not advertise your in-house spa facilities?
Moreover, you can offer express checkout and communicate with every guest through the TV screen using our dedicated messaging system.
