DIRECTV and Guest-tek™ Announce Strategic Relationship
El Segundo, Calif & Calgary, Alberta – November 13, 2014 – Guest-tek™, one of the largest integrators of HD free-to-guest, IPTV, HSIA and Voice services for the hotel market and DIRECTV, one of the world’s leading providers of digital television entertainment services, have formed a strategic relationship to deliver more advanced technology, expanded programming selection and cost savings to hotels across the country.
As a result of this strategic relationship, hotels of all sizes will realize advantages such as savings through DIRECTV’s channel rate card and upgrades to the Com2000, which delivers more features in a smaller size head-end than most HD programming systems available today – regardless of whether the building has coax or an IPTV distribution system. The relationship will also offer a full range of in-room technology devices from Smart TVs to set top boxes.
“DIRECTV is the leading satellite and cable provider in the hospitality space,” says Arnon Levy, CEO of Guest-tek. “Their products and programming will help rapidly expand Guest-tek’s Free-to-Guest offerings while adding significant value to our customers.”
“We believe the combination of Guest-tek, with its expertise in combined data, video and telephony services and DIRECTV’s superior hospitality technology, such as the DIRECTV Residential Experience and the Technicolor Com2000, will provide creative solutions for hotel guests and hotel brands across the country,” said Mike Wittrock, senior vice president of Sales for DIRECTV.
