In the luxury hospitality industry, seamless connectivity is no longer a perk, it’s an expectation.

Guests demand uninterrupted access to high-speed internet, IPTV services, and a range of smart room features that enhance their stay. To meet these demands, hotels must adopt a network infrastructure that is not only robust but also efficiently managed.

This is where a converged managed LAN (Local Area Network) becomes a game-changer.

What is a converged managed LAN?

A converged managed LAN integrates multiple hotel services – IPTV, VoIP, Wi-Fi, security cameras, building automation, and guest applications – onto a single, unified network. Rather than operating disparate systems with separate infrastructures, a converged LAN optimizes performance, reduces complexity, and enhances operational efficiency.

The key strategic benefits

Enhanced guest experience

A high-performance managed LAN ensures guests can seamlessly stream content, engage with smart room features, and enjoy uninterrupted connectivity.

Personalization, such as IPTV services tailored to individual preferences, becomes effortless, elevating the overall guest experience. Additionally, seamless connectivity supports mobile check-in and keyless room entry, creating a truly modern and hassle-free stay

Operational efficiency & cost savings

By consolidating network infrastructure, hotels reduce hardware redundancy and maintenance costs. A centralized, managed approach minimizes downtime, streamlines troubleshooting, and enhances overall IT efficiency.

IT teams benefit from real-time network monitoring, automated updates, and proactive maintenance, reducing manual intervention and ensuring a consistently high level of service.

Future-proofing the property

As hotels integrate more IoT devices and smart technologies, a scalable and flexible network becomes essential. A managed LAN supports seamless upgrades, ensuring the infrastructure remains ready for future innovations without significant overhauls.

Strengthened security & compliance

With a managed LAN, security protocols can be centrally monitored and enforced. Segmentation of guest and operational networks reduces risks, ensuring compliance with data protection regulations while safeguarding sensitive information.

Advanced encryption, multi-factor authentication, and automated threat detection further enhance cybersecurity, preventing unauthorized access and data breaches.

Sustainability & energy efficiency

A unified network reduces power consumption by optimizing hardware usage. Intelligent energy management, enabled by a smart network, supports sustainability initiatives and lowers operational costs.

Hotels can integrate energy-efficient solutions such as smart lighting, HVAC automation, and sensor-based resource management, reducing their carbon footprint while improving cost-effectiveness.

In the realm of luxury hospitality, it is essential to provide each guest with an unforgettable experience. Integrating IPTV systems with Property Management Systems (PMS) has become an indispensable means of meeting this demand.

At DirectStreams, we have made this synergy a top priority, designing tailor-made solutions that adapt to most PMS on the market. But why is such integration so crucial? Because today, guest expectations are higher than ever. Offering a seamless, personalized, and technologically advanced experience is an undeniable asset for standing out and ensuring a memorable stay

A smart union between PMS and IPTV: much more than just compatibility

One of the first questions we often receive from our hotel partners is: “Is our PMS compatible with your system?” The answer is a resounding “yes,” but our goal goes far beyond mere technical compatibility. We provide a deep integration that not only optimizes the PMS functionalities but also offers advanced personalization of the guest experience. Thanks to our technology, hotels can manage guest information smoothly from check-in to check-out while offering a complete range of customized services

One of our partners, Char pmsLink: a universal solution to go further

Sometimes, a hotel might use a PMS that is not among the systems directly compatible with our DS First solution. This is where our partnership with Char pmsLink comes into play. With a long-standing collaboration, we have implemented a solution that overcomes technical obstacles and ensures a reliable connection between the PMS and our IPTV solution. Therefore, even when compatibility is not immediate, Char pmsLink guarantees a seamless integration, enabling hotels to benefit from our technology without limitations

Personalization: the key to a unique experience

At the heart of our solution is personalization. Every guest dreams of feeling special, and that’s exactly what we enable through PMS integration. When arriving, the guest is greeted with a personalized welcome message displayed on their room’s television, creating a warm first impression. Moreover, the ability to switch the TV interface to the guest’s preferred language makes their stay even more enjoyable, especially for international travelers. A big plus is also getting content in their own language and culture.

Seamless management of hotel services

PMS integration goes far beyond simple personalization. It also allows for better management of TV content access, such as restricting certain programs based on the guest’s profile. Whether it’s adult films or other sensitive content, this feature ensures a guest experience that aligns with individual expectations. Additionally, filtering TV channels by the guest’s language or interests optimizes the experience by providing easy access to the programs they care about.

By combining personalization, seamlessness, and innovation, DirectStreams transforms the hotel experience, elevating a simple stay to another level. Integration with PMS becomes a major differentiating factor for establishments, enabling them to offer a stay that is both unique and technologically advanced. Because exceeding expectations is the very essence of luxury hospitality, DirectStreams positions itself as an indispensable player in creating a tailor-made experience for every stay

In the competitive world of the hospitality industry, providing an exceptional stay experience is essential for retaining customers and standing out from the competition. At DirectStreams, we understand the importance of every detail in creating unforgettable moments for your guests. That’s why we present our in-room guest hospitality solutions that revolutionize the way hotels interact with their guests:

Group Management
Guest Message

DirectStreams aspires to be much more than just a provider of IPTV solutions; we collaborate with you to deliver a unique and memorable customer experience at every stage of their stay. Our solutions are designed to meet the evolving needs of the high-end hospitality industry and to anticipate the expectations of the most demanding guests.

A warm welcome upon arrival is essential for creating a positive first impression. Our Group Management solution ensures that every guest feels immediately comfortable, welcome, and personally attended to.

DirectStreams Group Management Feature Interfacing With Major PMS players

For example, one of our flagship services, “Group Management,” allows you to customize the IPTV interface according to specific events your guests are participating in during their stay. Imagine being able to tailor the TV interface in the rooms of these corporate seminar attendees: this is made possible by our innovative feature.

So, each guest will feel special and pampered, with a customized experience that exceeds their expectations. At check-in, the system automatically recognizes the event and the guest’s profile, configuring the interface for that specific event without any effort from the staff. At check-out, the profile reverts to the hotel’s standard IPTV interface. Our solutions streamline processes, allowing hotel staff to provide a seamless and effortless experience.

DirectStreams Guest Messages Feature Interfacing With Major PMS players

Our commitment to excellence goes beyond these features. For example, consider a guest who forgets their suitcase at the airport. Once the information is relayed to the reception and the guest is settled in their room, our system, integrated with the hotel’s PMS, allows them to be directly informed via their in-room television that their suitcase has been found and is safely at the hotel. A reassuring personalized message appears, confirming the imminent delivery of their suitcase. This attention to detail creates unforgettable moments.

At DirectStreams, every interaction is an opportunity to create precious memories. We are delighted to provide innovative solutions that transform every stay into an exceptional experience.

Offer To Your Group Of Guest A Unique Experience
