Smart Systems for Buildings, Hotels and Airports Solutions Co, the exclusive distributor and provider for LG Electronics Business Solutions in Jordan, will be providing the InterContinental Hotel Aqaba with IPTV solutions: the first-of-its-kind technology on a global level.

This technology comes as an all-inclusive comprehensive solution for the hospitality sector, offering high flexibility at a low cost, due to its high quality uninterrupted interface. The system is a unified database that is linked directly to the TV with no need for wires, and is highly manageable, user-friendly and easily maintained.

The IPTV technology is specifically designed for television transmission through the internet; it is the ideal solution for hotels, hospitals, institutions, ships, telecommunication companies, showrooms and laboratories. The IPTV technology is also considered to be a solid investment, especially in the hotel sector, where it offers the latest developments, programs and events created by the hotel. It also allows for viewing the hotel bill, transaction, easy booking, room changing and several other functions.

Commenting on this agreement was LG Electronics Levant B2B Director, Eng. Rami Badran. He said: “This step falls into place with LG’s goals to reinforce its leading position in providing personal and corporate business solutions, especially in the hotel and hospitality sector. We are very glad to be partnering with the Intercontinental Hotel Aqaba, as we trust fully that this cooperation will please our customers as well as the hotel’s.”

Additionally, InterContinental Hotel Aqaba General Manager, Mr. Enad Tannous, commented on this partnership, saying: “We seek to meet the growing demands and ambitions of our customers, who are looking for the latest in the world of technology. By providing this advanced technology, we set ourselves apart and in the lead, along with our customers.”

LG has yet again proven itself, by providing a wide range of corporate business solution for different sectors, especially the hospitality sector. It has thus far provided 15 regional hotels with the latest IPTV technology.
