NEVADA, USA -- TeleAdapt ups the ante in connecting guests to the hotel room, with the first full demo exhibit of their new entertainment connectivity panel in Booth #7644 of HD ExpoMediaHub HD™ is the next generation in in-room entertainment. The new entertainment panel boasts Bluetooth technology so guests can stream music and audio selections from any A2DP-stereo-enabled device through the in-room TV and sound system, without wires; a first in in-room entertainment for the hospitality industry.

The MediaHub HD is an all-in-one connectivity panel that moves the guest's personal content to the in-room entertainment system, personalizing the in-room entertainment experience for the guest. The world is witnessing a paradigm shift in guest entertainment; with the Internet playing a lead role in TV show, movie, video and game downloads. Hotel rooms with a MediaHub HD complete the in-room entertainment system with an easy method for guests to use the in-room TV and sound system to enjoy their personal music, games, videos and online communications.

Bluetooth technology built into the panel means guests with A2DP-enabled devices like an Apple MacBook®, a Blackberry® PDA or other A2DP-stereo-enabled portables can pair their device with the in-room entertainment panel to stream music and audio through the TV speakers, without having to physically connect the device with a cable. "Currently, there are no other options available for hotels as simple as ours for wireless connectivity," explains TeleAdapt CEO Gordon Brown. "Media connectivity use to be plug and play. Now it's just play!"

MediaHub HD also features a single HDMI back-end cable, which means only a single HDMI port is required on the TV. Installation is notably simplified and less expensive.

The American Hotel & Lodging Association reports that in-room entertainment ranks number two in hotel amenity importance, just after Wi-Fi availability. "Even in the current economic climate, hotels understand how investing in plug and play for their in-room entertainment has a lasting effect on the guest experience," said Brown.

Hoteliers and their design teams have been turning to TeleAdapt for more than 17 years for connectivity solutions that enhance the overall in-room experience.
