Back to Business
Airwave is honoured to have installed hotel TV systems in airport and transport hotels across Great Britain & Ireland, playing a small part in helping the leisure and tourism industry back to business… RADISSON RED LONDON GATWICK Located a stone’s throw from Gatwick Airport, Radisson RED Gatwick marks the second of the brand’s UK properties, following the launch of Radisson RED Heathrow in September 2020. With 185 rooms, high-tech meeting spaces, a fitness area and a bistro style restaurant, Radisson RED’s Gatwick property offers business and leisure travellers a memorable start (or end) to each trip. And of course, with the brand’s emphasis on modern design and technology, Airwave was happy to assist in the design and implementation of a hotel TV system. Airwave commenced the installation with the implementation of WiFi and TV reception infrastructure - consisting of a freeview aerial and single mode fibre backbone, allowing for future expansion. An IPTV headend was also installed, supplying Freeview channels across the hotel’s data network. This system is modular based, and can be expanded to include future implementation of, for example, Sky TV or international channels. In terms of the display technology, central to Radisson RED Gatwick’s remit was:

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 Airwave managed to tick all the boxes via Otrum’s Mirage interactive information system. Mirage provides a powerful SaaS solution, enabling unparalleled options for the customisation, branding and personalisation of the guest-room TV interface. It provides a platform for multiple features, including a tailored list of channels, SMART APPS, catch-up TV services and
hospitality certified Google Chromecast. Airwave’s design engineers constructed a simple, but elegant GUI, incorporating a Watch TV button, Google Chromecast (with other screen sharing functionality including Miracast and Bluetooth audio) and a services button incorporating YouTube and cloud-based movies APP, Airtime. LG hospitality series TVs were chosen to front the system; Airwave installed 186 x 50-inch LG US662H displays into the guestrooms, wall-mounting each display with Btech BT8210 flat-to-wall brackets. As Radisson RED continue to expand their UK presence, Airwave are on hand to deliver their vision with cutting-edge, userfriendly TV entertainment technology.
