Available in EMEA, this new range of Hotel TVs offers guests a whole new world of online apps like YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Catch-up TV, local and international news, weather, games and much more. There’s no longer the need for a Set-Top-Box, nor heavy head-end investments, reducing the overall TCO for a hotel drastically. Philips’ Award-Winning CoCreation Expert Team has co-created the MediaSuite prior launch and helped Philips gain invaluable insights into launching this new and innovative product range.
