Anevia and Rosari provide high-performance IPTV services over WiFi to the Hotel International & Terminus in Switzerland
Paris, 7th September 2009
Anevia , a leader in video streaming solutions and service infrastructure for live TV and Video on Demand (VOD), and Rosari , a leading IT services provider specializing in IPTV, today announced the availability of their IPTV services over WiFi at the Hotel International & Terminus in Geneva, Switzerland.
While the Hotel International & Terminus has carefully restored its 19th century building to provide guests with an atmosphere of tradition and luxury, it has also deployed state-of-the-art technologies to ensure the highest quality of service.
As part of its quest for top-of-the-range guest services, the hotel decided to install IPTV and Video on Demand (VOD). To speed deployment, simplify installation and provide maximum flexibility to guests, Hotel International & Terminus decided to deploy the services over its existing WiFi network.
“We chose Anevia and Rosari because of their ability to deliver an advanced, fully integrated solution using WiFi technology,” stated Mr. Olivier Phocas, Hotel Manager of the Hotel International & Terminus. “We were impressed by the high-performance of the solutions and the strength of their expertise in IPTV for the hospitality market. We knew our approach was innovative and we had to be sure that our suppliers could handle such an advanced project. They have met all our expectations.”
“WiFi represents a new approach to delivery of IPTV and VOD services to the hospitality market,” explained Patrick Rabu, VP of Sales at Anevia. “Installation is less invasive, reducing negative effects for our customers and deployment is faster, reducing the time to return on investment for the company.”
“Rapid and simple to install, WiFi enables companies with high numbers of service end-points, such as hotels, to avoid the constraints and complexities of numerous Cable/Adsl network connections,” added Max Rosari, CEO of Rosari IT. “General maintenance costs also tend to be lower because there is less physical infrastructure.”
Hotel International & Terminus guests benefit from the following services:
- Wide range of in-room services such as a welcome message, an information portal, wake-up service, messages from the front desk and invoice on the TV screen;
- Large choice of entertainment services including instant access to hundreds of movies or music clips that can be viewed at any time;
- Access to over 100 TV channels from all over the world including multilingual channels, with the ability to adapt the TV channel lists to customers’ nationalities;
