Philips Professional Display Solutions is pleased to announce a new collaboration with Stockholm-based TV challenger, Nenda, to bring a new streaming service for hotel rooms that will revolutionise the way guests watch scheduled TV.

This exciting collaboration will bring the powerful features of Philips Professional Display Solutions’ MediaSuite Pro TV –Android-powered, Google certified and Chromecast built-in – together with Nenda’s streaming service, to deliver next-generation TV entertainment to the hotel market. The aim is to ease complexity for integrators, reduce costs for hoteliers and to provide guests with up-to-date TV entertainment that goes far beyond today’s impersonal, schedule-bound TV experience. The solution will be tested during winter 2019 and spring 2020 in hotel chains and care companies in the Nordic region.

 

“We are delighted to be working in collaboration with Philips Professional Display Solutions and their new MediaSuite Pro TV” says Carl Johan Barnekow, Head of Marketing and Co-founder of Nenda.

 

“Integration with MediaSuite is simple and it is also easy for the hotel staff to manage. The collaboration will enable us to present the market’s first fully internet-driven TV solution, which reduces the complexity of installation and maintenance for hotels and delivers a much better experience for the guest.”

 

Nenda’s streaming app is easily accessible, directly on the Philips MediaSuite TV, which means roll-out times are reduced to days, instead of weeks or even months. The solution also delivers a number of other practical benefits for hotels; for example, set-top boxes and central units are no longer required, which reduces hardware costs, bringing the total cost of ownership down and raising the return on investment.

 

Customer satisfaction is also simple to measure through MediaSuite’s survey function, enabling hoteliers to send questionnaires directly to their guests via the TV.

“We are looking forward to working together with Nenda to bring this cutting-edge TV experience to more hotels in the marketplace,” says Mikael da Fonseca, Sales Director Nordics at Philips Professional Display Solutions.

 

“Since launching MediaSuite earlier this year, we have had astounding feedback from satisfied customers. Not only does MediaSuite deliver benefits for the hotel, its built-in Chromecast enables guests to ‘cast’ their own content. Adding Nenda’s first-class entertainment via the most common TV channels and a large library of on-demand films and series directly onto the TVs makes perfect sense. A truly complementary partnership.”

About Nenda

Nenda is a streaming service from Stockholm. A flexible technical platform links together businesses with the most exciting content providers and offers a versatile, simple and personal TV experience. Netflix and HBO have redrawn the TV viewing map for the entire private market. However, if you look at the B2B market within TV, it is still the same as it was in the mid-1980s. Nothing, or at any rate, very little, has happened. Nenda is changing this through offering the first cloud-based streaming service for the B2B market. Users can now watch whatever they want, whenever they want and international guests can have dubbing and subtitles in their own language. Nenda has global ambitions for all B2B segments but is initially launching in the Nordic region with the focus on hotels and care in order to subsequently expand in other geographic markets and business segments.
