Acentic, a leading supplier of digital interactive TV (iTV) systems for the hotel industry, announced today that it has launched Panorama IP, which enables hotels with structured ethernet cabling to deliver an outstanding HD experience to guests in combination with Acentic's proven Panorama functionality.
Acentic now gives hoteliers the possibility of choosing Acentic's industry leading Panorama platform regardless of the network, coax or structured cabling, throughout the hotel with the release of the Acentic Panorama IP solution. Bundled with Acentic's High-Speed Internet Access (HSIA) product, hotels now have a one-stop shop for all their guest entertainment services.
Panorama IP combines the power of an Acentic custom developed IP Set-Top-Box, that is tailor made to the needs of the hotelier, with Acentic's exclusive centralised architecture, enabling the delivery of a powerful and fully customisable Adobe Flash-based interface. Panorama IP is the only system where the television set and the set top box appear as one and all aspects of the system and In-Room Television can be controlled centrally. The Panorama centralised platform provides the necessary power to integrate future IP based applications including Internet TV.
"Acentic is bringing hoteliers closer to their guests than ever before," said Alistair Forbes, CEO of Acentic. "Our goal is to provide the hotel chains with a holistic platform line-up suited to their chosen physical network architecture. The availability of converged solutions for our customers' guest entertainment services enables hotels to adopt converged strategies with TV, HSIA and VoIP running over the same network. Acentic aims to help deliver those same services with a consistent user experience across all hotel locations no matter which network is installed in each hotel."
Acentic Panorama IP is already being installed in hotels in Austria, France and the Middle East.
