LodgeNet, DOCOMO & Nomadix Align to Serve Hospitality's Broadband Needs
LodgeNet Interactive Corporation, DOCOMO interTouch, Pte. Ltd. and Nomadix, Inc. have strategically aligned under which LodgeNet Broadband will market Freedom Internet, the just-released hospitality enterprise software developed by DOCOMO interTouch, along with Nomadix’s full range of access gateways.
With the strategic technology alliance LodgeNet Broadband offers hoteliers a hardware and software combination which, in conjunction with LodgeNet’s new monitoring solution and reporting portal, provides robust hotel-level reporting, security, enhanced bandwidth shaping and management, and greater portal functionality. It will also enable enhanced conference room features, integrated business center connectivity and billing functions.
Specifically, the new DOCOMO-LodgeNet relationship will:
- Facilitate a new solution and architecture encompassing traditional HSIA functionality as well as back office LAN management and security device management into a single product.
- Provide a single architecture for on-site convergence deployments or above property cloud management.
- Integrate conference management tools with HSIA and the business center with the back office, whether on property or in the cloud.
- Simplify and centralize management, reporting and troubleshooting to one platform.
- Enable a new suite of features and functionality including guest payment and pricing options, flexible splash page presentations, and unprecedented hotel control and visibility to their guest HSIA network.
The agreements also resolve all outstanding litigation between the parties and open the way for cooperative developments in other areas of business. For example, DOCOMO interTouch has licensed LodgeNet’s conference management solution and expects to include it as part of their product offering in international markets. The parties are also exploring other cooperative business relationships.
