Roomlinx to Utilize HP Technology to Provide Interactive TV (iTV) and Internet Solutions to the Hospitality Industry
DENVER, CO, Dec 04, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Roomlinx Inc. (OTCBB: RMLX), the innovative developer of media
networks and interactive TV (iTV) applications for the hospitality
industry, has announced it will work with HP to provide hotel guests
with modern, state of the art Internet and TV services based on HP
networking and thin client technology.
Under this agreement, HP will also advertise a range of technology
services and products through the Roomlinx iTV system. Roomlinx has
previously named Dish and Starz as advertisers on the in-room system.
Hyatt Hotels in North America are among the first to offer guests the
Roomlinx iTV system. Roomlinx expects to install its technologies in
up to 60,000 Hyatt full service hotel rooms over the next
24 months.
"With the recent marketing and service commitments from DISH, Starz,
and now HP, we are proving our dedication to both create new sources
of revenue and to directly decrease costs for our hotel partners,"
said Roomlinx Chief Executive Officer Michael Wasik. "As Roomlinx's
installed base of interactive guestrooms ramps rapidly in the coming
months, we look for expanding opportunity for additional advertisers
to highlight their products and services on our platform."
Wasik continued, "In addition to flexible charge-for-use guest
packages and conference products and services, the Roomlinx model is
compelling because it allows hotels and resorts to upgrade their TV
and Internet systems cost effectively by allowing guest-relevant
marketing on these systems -- through interactive videos, local
service listings, and direct product advertising. This not only
enables our hotel partners to generate new revenues from in-room
advertising on the Roomlinx iTV system but it also offsets, in part,
the installation and deployment cost of the system itself.
"HP's goal is to enable a high quality entertainment experience for
hotel guests with its thin client and other network technologies that
drive the Roomlinx iTV and Internet system," said Jeff Groudan,
director of marketing for Thin Clients at HP. "HP's technology will
help Roomlinx roll out its iTV systems to more hotels, more quickly
-- allowing hotels and resorts to upgrade and modernize their TV and
Internet systems very cost effectively and to offer relevant
guest-relevant marketing over these platforms."
