InterTouch takes hotel technology to next level
SINGAPORE – interTouch, the provider of managed services to the global hospitality industry, has conducted successful tests of IP convergence service on smart phone devices over WiFi.
Conducted at interTouch hotels in Tokyo, Singapore and Vietnam, these tests included synchronisation of content, as well as video telephony on smart phone devices connected via interTouch’s broadband in hotel rooms.
Dual WiFi 3G mobile phones were used, and the quality of video conferencing proved to be as good as that of traditional mobile phones.
Users were able to download synchronized content such as five-minute news clippings and talk to people in each country.
“With more and more overseas business travellers bringing dual WiFi/3G mobile phone for data access, content download and IP telephony applications, we believe IP convergence services provided by interTouch in hotel rooms will bring a value to mobile roaming users,” said Toshinari Kunieda, senior vice president and managing director of Global Business of NTT DoCoMo, the parent company of interTouch.
