Austin, Texas – June 15, 2014 – Samsung Electronics America today shares its latest innovations empowering hoteliers to offer the ultimate hospitality experience for its guests. Samsung showcases a lineup of products for the hospitality market featuring the most advanced technology in digital displays, REACH 3.1, SINC 3.0 with HMS and the newest “Smart Hub” with mobile device interaction, at the Austin Convention Center, Booth #451, from June 15-18th.

“Samsung continues to raise the bar for the hospitality market with premium entertainment experiences and technology options that inspire hoteliers to deliver more engaging, memorable experiences for their guests,” said Jonas Tanenbaum, vice president of hospitality at Samsung Electronics America. “Samsung’s innovative solutions and products provide hotel customers a premium experience from the moment they approach the reception desk to the time they check out.”

Vertical solutions are displayed at the booth using a mosaic wall, mobile devices, wireless networking, printers, and a model reception desk to illustrate the superior start to finish hotel experience. Visitors will be fully immersed into the “Smart Hotel Room” and in-room entertainment. Samsung solutions displayed at the booth can be accessed using any type of Wi-Fi enabled device powered by Samsung’s WLAN Solution, which delivers fast and reliable Internet access for guests anytime and anywhere.

This year, Samsung will also display the new SINC 3.0 with HMS, an optimized TV content management solution that creates an enhanced guest experience. This allows guests to access information and services from the comfort of their hotel rooms over an IP-based infrastructure that enables in-room TVs to communicate with the hotel’s property management system (PMS). Within the “hotel guest room” at the booth, SINC 3.0 with HMS delivers an IoT experience, giving users the ability to control and customize HVAC, lighting, drapery and DND/MUR from the Samsung Smart Hospitality TV. Samsung is excited to partner with the intelligent energy management company Telkonet to offer this multi-tiered solution. Telkonet works directly with the hotel customer throughout the entire process, from the first step to the last step, ensuring seamless hotel integration.

Additional featured products and solutions displayed at the booth include:

  • Hospitality “Smart Hub” with Mobile Device Interaction displayed on the 65” 890W Series Curved Premium 4K UHD Direct-Lit LED Hospitality TV demonstrates the ability to quickly and easily stream UHD content from any movie or music streaming service from a local source as well as from the Internet.

  • REACH 3.1 (Remote Enhanced Active Control for Hotels) hardware and software solution allowing property managers to centrally control multiple Samsung hospitality TVs and display customized content through the newest displays in the ND677 line.
