DALLAS, June 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* continues
to transform in-room entertainment for hotel guests and
institutions across the country with a streaming solution from
SONIFI Solutions, Inc. Hotels and institutions with DIRECTV
services can now order STAYCASTi powered by Google
Chromecast for their property.
The streaming solution gives guests an at-home experience when
they're on the road. They can stream their favorite shows and
movies from a personal device to the in-room TV. The service does
not require guests to separately log in to the TV. It is also
compatible with existing wiring and all DIRECTV HD systems.
Guests can stream entertainment via their favorite apps with a
few simple steps. Connect to the hotel Wi-Fi, download the Hotel
Cast™ app (available for iOS and Android), and enter a passcode
provided via the service. Next, tap the "cast" icon within more
than 1,000 Chromecast-enabled apps to enjoy TV shows, movies,
games, sports, kids content and more on the largest screen in the
room.
The streaming solution can be easily integrated into new and
existing properties with any DIRECTV HD Entertainment system, like
DIRECTV Residential Experience (DRE), COM1000, and COM2000. With
it, hotel guests get more content to choose from.
"Consumers are now taking their entertainment with them wherever
they go, including hotels," said Ed
Balcerzak, senior vice president, Commercial & Connected
Communities, AT&T. "This solution gives hotels and institutions
a competitive advantage by offering an entertainment experience
that consumers can't get everywhere. As a leader in
telecommunications, media, and technology, AT&T is bringing the
most advanced entertainment options to the hotel industry."
