Charter’s Spectrum Enterprise division has announced a partnership with video systems integrator Moviebeam to deliver hotels a new in-room guest entertainment service.

The new service will leverage Spectrum Enterprise’s Fiber Connect Plus TV, which features more than 200 HD channels, with proprietary Moviebeam technology to create a customizable platform.

Hoteliers can deliver custom content and provide concierge information to guests that features local attractions and services. They can also elevate and promote their brand by customizing the user interface with their hotel logo, colors and property imagery.

Guests, meanwhile, can cast from their personal devices using Chromecast and Airplay, and enjoy video content from streaming apps offered by Moviebeam without having to enter credentials.

“The Spectrum Enterprise partnership with Moviebeam is helping mid- to upper-end hotels and national hotel brands provide an excellent guest experience with interactive and customizable, in-room TV services,” said Peter Agnvall, VP of enterprise TV for Spectrum Enterprise, in a statement. “This partnership demonstrates our commitment to serve the hospitality industry, address their unique needs and invest in in-room entertainment offerings, Internet and data network solutions, managed WiFi and voice services appropriate for the industry.”

Spectrum Enterprise, Charter Communications’s business services arm, said it has broadened its Enterprise TV offering with more channels and support for additional platforms and devices.

Among the enhancements to Enterprise TV, an offering for hotels, hospitals and universities, Spectrum Enterprise said the offering now offers a lineup of more than 200 HDTV channels, including “core bundles” with sports, Latino and international programming, as well as premium add-ons and music channels.

During this week’s Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition & Conference, Spectrum Enterprise is also highlighting Fiber Connect Plus TV, an HDTV service delivered over fiber that supports channel insertion. Charter said that offering, which doesn’t require on-premises headend equipment, is tailored for partners that are looking for a TV platform without a converter box or as part of a third-party integrator solution.

Spectrum Enterprise is also using the event to tout a slimmed-down, “set-back” box for hotel guests and hospital patients that delivers HD programming and can be mounted behind the TV.

Also on show is SpectrumU TV, a new video streaming service from Charter for college partners that supports live TV, with local channels and regional sports networks, VOD and an integrated interactive programming guide. That service is delivered via on-campus wired and wireless networks to iOS and Android apps as well as compatible web browsers. Following field trials with more than 24 clients, SpectrumU TV is slated for general avaialbity later this month in Spectrum Enterprise’s national footprint. 

AT&T has introduced an upgraded version of DirecTV for business customers, including hotels, that features a large lineup of HD channels, 4K capabilities and multiscreen access.  

The third-gen platform, called COM3000, supports up to 138 HD channels (along with select programming in 4K and HDR formats), and lets business owners tack on their own in-house and OTT channels.  

In addition to TVs, COM3000 is also capable of supporting smartphones and tablets, select smart TVs and third-party set-top boxes. The service can also be delivered on a range of access infrastructures, including coax, Ethernet and WiFi, AT&T said.  

AT&T launched COM3000 at this week’s Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition & Conference, happening this week in Houston. Here’s a sampling of other announcements made HITEC:  

-HBO Checks in with Marriott Deal  

-Dish to Integrate Netflix into Hotel Offering

-Comcast Business Tailors X1 for Hospitality Market

HBO said it has struck a deal to provide complimentary access to HBO GO, the premium programmer’s authenticated streaming service, to guests staying at select Marriott properties in the U.S.

Starting this month, guests in supported hotels will be able to access HBO GO on in-room connected TVs without having to log in with user names and passwords. HBO said the app will initially be made available to more than 1,500 Marriott properties and about 575,000 rooms, and a more than 3,500 properties over the next several months.

Complementary access to HBO in hotels has been a long-time perk in the hospitality industry, while also giving HBO exposure to non-subscribers. This new offering tied to HBO GO will got a step further by also delivering on-demand streaming access to HBO-licensed movies and its mix of original series, such as Game of Thrones, Westworld and Silicon Valley.

HBO said the Marriott agreement is the first for this particular offering, but added that its distribution team is working across the lodging industry to evolve in-room entertainment experiences with digital offerings such as HBO GO.

The HBO-Marriott pact is one of several announcements being made Monday amid The Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition & Conference, taking place this week in Houston.

Comcast Business has launched X1 for Hospitality, a program that tailors its next-gen video platform for hotels. 

Comcast, which has already adapted the cloud-powered X1 platform for its Xfinity on Campus product, said an early adopter of the new program is the Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia at Comcast Center. The hospitality-focused version of X1 will be offered in each of the hotel’s 219 guest rooms when it opens this winter, the company said.

Among its features, the offering for hotels will support the X1 user interface and voice remote (with support for English and Spanish), about 300 channel options and a VOD library of more than 50,000 TV shows and movies. It will also support a two-tuner DVR and X1’s accessibility features.

Comcast announced the new product at The Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition & Conference, happening this week in Houston. 

Cox Communications said it has finalized its purchase of Blueprint RF, a managed network solutions provider serving major hotel brands and properties across the country. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
