Hardware flexibility and support to increase revenue potential

Acentic Horizon internet solution for hotels, provides tight integration with the IP backend hardware and existing networkinfrastructures due to the support of industry standard hardware from vendors such as Hewlett-Packard, Cisco, and Motorola.

This allows complex cross promotional activities, such as marketing movies and providing essential hotel guest information, across both the HSIA and iTV platforms. Horizon internet solution for hotels is also fully compatible with wireless and mobile devices, allowing guests to access the service without paying for multiple device use.

Acentic, the leading Hotel TV provider,  has dedicated engineers to construct structured networks, both wired and Wi-Fi networks for hotels, with solutions ranging from single hot-spot configurations up to thousands of rooms.

State of the Art Wi-Fi

Acentic Horizon internet solution for hotels is enhanced with enterprise class Wi-Fi installations from Motorola and Hewlett Packard. Our professionally trained engineers conduct site surveys to achieve 100 percent wireless coverage and find the most cost effective solution for each property. This enables:

• Uptimes of 99.9 percent through redundant
  setups
• Full Wireless-n capabilities for increased band-
  width (up to 600 mbit/s)
• Avoid RF interference through the use of enter-
  prise wireless controllers

Revenue Opportunities

Acentic Horizon’s flexibility enables hoteliers to answer the demand for free Internet services with tiered bandwidth. Horizon internet solution for hotels can be configured to offer limited free HSIA (based on bandwidth or services), while charging guests for full bandwidth and unlimited Internet access. This protects the hotelier’s connectivity investments, while still complying with brand guidelines by offering some free Internet services.
