This week, Acentic is off to Dubai for The Hotel Show 2011 http://www.thehotelshow.com, a yearly conference that includes more than 500 of the world’s leading hotel and hospitality suppliers. It’s an important event held in one of the most unique hotel markets and gives us opportunity to talk about issues facing the industry, as well as share the most innovative new technologies.
Acentic is bringing something quite original to the 2011 conference. As an exhibitor at The Hotel Show, we are sharing our newest TV offering, the LD650 IP-enabled HDTV from LG. This is a significant step in LGs commitment to the hospitality market since it is the first IP-enabled TV greatly simplfying the deployment of IPTV by embedding the set-top box in the screen to avoid expensive and bulky boxes and cabling.
The LD650 benefits from Acentic Panorama’s IP evolved architecture for the delivery of a full Flash interface to the hotel room and a powerful centralised architecture. The result is not only the ability to run processor intensive applications, but also a simple upgrade path over the system’s lifetime with no in-room intervention. The LD650 together with Acentic Panorama IP high definition also provides significant cost savings to the hotelier, as well as simplified maintenance and lower power consumption.
The LD650 will make its way to hotels this summer. We are planning our first installation in Europe for June and Middle East installations will follow, with the support of Acentic’s Network Operations Centre in Dubai. But for now, Dubai is for The Hotel Show, where we are excited to share the LD650 for the first time.
Visit our stand 8 A391 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
