Radisson Red Greenwich
Airwave design and implement a guestroom entertainment system for Radisson RED's latest property in London.
The Brand
Radisson Hotel Group (formerly Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group) is one of the world's largest hotel groups, with eight distinctive hotel brands and more than 1,400 hotels across the globe; its Radisson RED brand currently has twenty three hotels in service or under development.
The Hotel
Blessed with riverside views and a central position within the trendy, bustling Greenwich (only moments away from the o2 Arena), Radisson RED Greenwich offers 67 modern and spacious design-led rooms, featuring 24-hour room service, rain showers and a top draw TV entertainment system - naturally, provided by Airwave.
Having recently implemented a TV system within Radisson RED's sister property in Gatwick, Airwave was delighted to follow suit in Greenwich, providing similar technology, as per the below:
The Technology
Airwave initiated the project with the implementation of TV reception equipment and an IPTV headend, supplying a full line-up of Freeview channels across the hotel's data network - the system is modular based, allowing future expansion to include, for example, Sky TV or international channels.
In terms of the display technology, central to Radisson RED Greenwich's remit included:
a) A menu based TV system with scope to grow as and when the hotel requires.
b) A basic graphical user interface (GUI) designed in accordance with the Radisson brand.
c) Google Chromecast
Otrum's Mirage interactive information system offered the perfect solution, and a 6-page pack was chosen, with features including: Watch TV, Screen Sharing (incorporating hospitality certified Google Chromecast, Bluetooth Audio and Miracast, see the below image), Hotel Information, Local Area Information and a Services page - incorporating a wake-up alarm and cloud based movie app, Airtime.
To front the system, Airwave recommend 49-inch Samsung 690 Series hospitality TVs, wall-mounting each TV on BTech brackets, to ensure as slim a footprint as possible in the hotel's design-led rooms.
