iBAHN extends entertainment and connectivity offering with TeleAdapt’s Bluetooth MediaHub HD

Sept. 16, 2009 - PRLog -- iBAHN’s certification from TeleAdapt means that it will provide the MediaHub HD guest connectivity solution as part of its comprehensive range of services. iBAHN customers will benefit from MediaHub HD, which allows hotel guests to connect their laptop, iPod®, MP3, game console, digital camera or DVD player to their in-room TV system. The MediaHub HD is also the first and only entertainment panel to feature Bluetooth technology. Bluetooth® allows A2DP enabled devices to wirelessly stream audio through the TV speakers.

The Auto-sensing of inputs makes guest usage simple as the device recognizes the device being used and automatically switches to the correct input. For ease of installation there is a single HDMI connection to the TV.

Michael Shelton, Business Development Manager, EMEA at TeleAdapt comments: “We are very pleased to be working with a global company like iBAHN to extend the Bluetooth benefits of our MediaHub HD. Our comprehensive product was designed specifically for hotels in their effort to meet the entertainment demands of today's technology-savvy guest and it represents a unique option for hotel room connectivity by offering internationally compatible connection ports.”
