Amino And TotalVision Bring IPTV To Caribbean Hotels; TotalVision Places Order for 50,000 Set-Top Boxes.

CAMBRIDGE, England -- Amino Communications today confirmed that it has delivered 10,000 of it's AmiNet110H set-top boxes to TotalVision, an international provider of in-room entertainment solutions, for use in Caribbean guest rooms. The delivery is part of a larger order for 50,000 units. This deployment represents the first ever rollout of Amino's digital hospitality products in the Caribbean and establishes it as a major technology provider in this market.

TotalVision's service offers guests high-speed internet access, multicast Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) and true video on-demand. "We selected the AmiNET110H for our in-room media gateway because it means we can offer the latest digital entertainment technology in a robust and secure unit from the leading IPTV set-top box provider," said Tim Stark, VP Information Technology for TotalVision. "We are also integrating additional revenue-bearing services, and benefiting from simplified installation and reduced operating costs."

The AmiNET110H is an ideal choice for digital guest room entertainment systems based on IP (Internet Protocol) networks. Benefits of the system include simple, remote updates of video content and remote system monitoring, both of which result in fewer on-site service calls and reduced operating costs.

Using the AmiNET110H also obviates the need to route multiple physical networks to each room as an integrated Ethernet switch allows video, internet and voice traffic to share a single IP network without compromising security or video transmission quality. Further cost savings can be realised by integrating other guest services such as telephony and internet access, as well as billing and hotel information, into the system.

Roy Kirsopp, CEO Amino Communications LLC, commented, "We have always considered IPTV to be ideal for the hospitality industry. The concept offers so many advantages to the guests as well as greater revenue opportunities and cost savings for the hotel management. Our set-top boxes are compact, discrete and offer a high level of security, and the fact that this will be the first deployment of our system in the Caribbean makes this a particularly exciting prospect."
