In partnership with Samsung, Teleste has developed a solution that enhances to Internet connectivity while enhancing the guest experience.
The solution provides high-speed Internet to each guest room and allows guests to use applications and various interactive services on their in-room smart TVs as they would at home. In addition, the solution enables guests to connect their own personal smartphones and tablets to the Internet through the smart television's wireless access point.
