"Having the ability to utilize Intelity's extensive list of hotel system integrations will provide Evolve an unparalleled level of flexibility and functionality for our customers. Also, by integrating with the ICE platform, the hotel guest is given the ability to control Evolve devices via the hotel TV, guest smartphones, guest laptops, and in-room tablets."
