Guest-tek™ and LG Electronics Unite One View™ Application and Pro:Centric® IPTV Platform for Ultimate In-Room Experience
Collaboration Offers Advanced IPTV Platform for Hospitality Industry
Calgary, Alberta – April 24, 2014 – Guest-tek™ today announced the pairing of its OneView™ media application with the Pro:Centric® Internet-Protocol Television (IPTV) platform from LG Electronics for North American hotel customers. For guests, this groundbreaking collaboration means the ultimate in-room, interactive multimedia experience on high-definition LED displays. As a result of a cooperative development effort between LG Electronics USA and Guest-tek, LG’s LP870H and LT777H hospitality TVs built around the Pro:Centric smart IPTV platform can now support Guest-tek’s OneView Media client application. “This alliance delivers a highly advanced, cost-effective solution for hotels,” says Arnon Levy, CEO of Guest-tek. “By adapting Guest-tek’s OneView media application to work with LG’s smart IPTV system, we can deliver benefits that puts hoteliers at a competitive advantage.” The new solution takes advantage of the latest HTML5 Pro:Centric platform, which reduces hardware, installation and maintenance costs while supporting embedded applications, a web browser and HTTP live streaming, as well as sharing of content from personal devices with Guest-tek’s “myAway TV” application. It provides hotel customers with a wide range of features, including a full customized user interface, interactive program guide, music selections, hotel marketing and promotional features, guest communications, folio review and check-out services, Internet radio, on-screen guest directories and compendium features. Richard Lewis, vice president, B2B technology and research, LG Electronics USA, cited the Guest-tek alliance as further validation of the Pro:Centric platform. “OneView complements Pro:Centric to create a rich media experience for hotel guests, while meeting hoteliers’ goals of streamlined and more cost-effective in-room entertainment solutions.” The first property to adopt this industry-leading solution will be the new Marriott Marquis in Washington, DC. This 1,175 room hotel is planned to open in May.
