Spectrum Enterprise, the business services arm of Charter Communications (NASDAQ:CHTR), announced a partnership with Moviebeam, a nationwide video systems integrator, to offer hotels a new in-room guest experience with programming packages from Spectrum Enterprise delivered on its fiber network.
The new offering combines Spectrum Enterprise Fiber Connect Plus TV, an HDTV video programming service with 200+ HD channels available, and the Moviebeam technology to deliver a customizable experience for hotel properties. The solution is intended to let hoteliers deliver custom content and provide concierge information to guests, including local attractions and services. They can also customize the user interface with their hotel logo, colors and property imagery.

In addition, guests can cast from their personal devices using Chromecast and Airplay as well as enjoy audio and video content from streaming apps offered by Moviebeam without entering login credentials into the in-room HDTV. Guests can also order room service, request dry cleaning, check for flight status updates, request car valet and schedule spa appointments or tee times - or any service package that the hotel wants to offer.
