Acentic success in the Middle East

by Juan Aguirre

Acentic attended the Dubai Hotel Show last week and we showcased our Panorama HD integration with the new LD650 from LG. This show was the ideal event to showcase Acentic’s ability to deliver a cost effective IP solution with no in-room Set-Top Box. With the integrated solution from LG and Acentic,  IT departments at major luxury hotels no longer have to deal with disconnected rooms caused by removed cables. They can say goodbye to the simple day-to-day housekeeping of in-room systems with a simplified system installation. We did have some dubious visitors at the conference that believe the STB under the furniture is still the only way, but even they were impressed by the form factor and the speed of the Acentic Flash interface’s channel zapping times. Acentic is looking forward to further deployments in the Middle East region where we can leverage our Dubai network operations centre and local teams. We had a great show and had some fun, we even saw the most optimistic sales person we’ve ever seen at the Dubai show: a company that shall remain nameless actually selling outdoor heaters, tough sale with the outside temperature hitting 40 degrees C!
