REACH 4.0
Samsung’s fully integrated LYNK REACH 4.0 system grants hotel managers visibility and control of hundreds of on-site displays through a central, all-in-one, server for personalized content, application and channel access. This system accommodates any new or existing hospitality communication infrastructure, including coax, LAN and Wi-Fi, driving faster implementation, reducing costs and laborious maintenance for hotels. REACH 4.0 helps to reinforce hotel brands by using in-room displays to showcase hotel information with a personalized approach, making guests feel especially welcomed. The system can also help keep guests informed on billing, flight information, weather and more, increasing guest satisfaction throughout their stay. Advanced in-room entertainment options with a customizable TV menu, including an interactive program guide, is made possible by REACH 4.0.
 
SONIFI’s STAYCAST powered by Google Chromecast
With the SONIFI collaboration, guests can now connect their own mobile devices to the in-room screen and in-room Google Chromecast to cast content from 1000+ apps for a personalized entertainment experience. Guests no longer have to log in to the TV or set-top box with personal information to access shows and apps they love. With STAYCAST, guests can easily pair their devices by connecting to Wi-Fi, pairing to the TV, and simply tapping the Cast icon in any cast-enabled app.
