Each room has its own dedicated NetLinx controller for managing the installed systems; ensuring that the disparate technologies and operating platforms are fully integrated as part of the control solution. Each controller is also connected through a M2M communication with the reception controllers so that the receptionist can ‘prepare’ the room, or even help guests control the room remotely. It is the simplicity of the user interface and the integration provided by the AMX system that makes this all possible. In the hotel’s world-class restaurant, the dining experience is enhanced with the use of an AMX Tango unit for distributing music to all areas, including the terrace.
