Santiago de Compostela, 18 de marzo de 2025.

The Hospitality industry is in a constant state of evolution to meet the changing expectations of modern guests. Just a few decades ago, hotels offered telecom services that only a select few could enjoy-such as in-room telephones, satellite TV, or internet access. Today, digitalization has democratized these services.

This evolution has led the Hospitality sector to not only provide cutting-edge technology, but also to ensure that guests enjoy an experience mirroring the comfort and connectivity they are accustomed to at home.

In this context, on-screen entertainment and streaming systems have become essential to hotel service offerings. Today’s travelers expect unrestricted access to their favorite platforms and the ability to cast content from their mobile devices to their room's screen-seamlessly and securely at all times. 

Enhancing the guest experience through technology, the case of Hotel La Couronne

Located in Argentière, a landmark town in the Chamonix region of France, Hotel La Couronne is a mountain lodge steeped in tradition, dating back to 1863–1865. With 69 fully renovated rooms equipped with modern amenities, the hotel faces the challenge of delivering a tech-savvy experience that aligns with today’s guest expectations. Given its location in a high-demand tourist area, frequented in both winter and summer by skiers and hikers, in-room connectivity and entertainment have become crucial factors for customer satisfaction.

Hotel management identified the need to integrate a streaming solution that was efficient, secure, and easy to use, enabling guests to enjoy their digital content hassle-free. To achieve this, an ambitious project was launched in collaboration with ACAD ÉQUIPEMENT, a systems integrator with over 20 years of experience in audiovisual solutions.

ArantiaCast, the standard for in-room entertainment

To address this challenge, the hotel chose ArantiaCast by Televes—a leading provider of telecommunication infrastructures for buildings and homes. This professional-grade streaming solution was specifically designed for establishments like Hotel La Couronne.  

The installation included:

• ArantiaCast server for centralized system management
• Network Manager-Router ensuring secure and stable connections
• 69 Google TV kits, allowing each guest to enjoy personal content smoothly and without interruptions
• T.0X FRANSAT PRO headend: a compact, fast, and eco-friendly RF SAT solution, featuring FPGA technology and robotic production for high reliability. Designed for maximum energy efficiency, flexible installation, and both local and remote control via the installed CDC module.

Thanks to this solution, guests can now cast content directly from their mobile devices to their room's TV without passwords or complex setup. The system also ensures that each room has a fully isolated connection, safeguarding privacy and security.

But the benefits of implementing ArantiaCast at Hotel La Couronne go beyond convenience, offering the hotel a set of competitive advantages, including:

• Personalized, frictionless experience: Guests can access their own accounts on platforms like Netflix, YouTube, and Spotify, enjoying the comforts of home
• Security and privacy: Each streaming session is exclusively linked to the guest’s room, eliminating any risk of unauthorized access
• Operational simplicity: Centralized system management minimizes the need for technical support and reduces connectivity issues in rooms
• A unique value proposition: The technological upgrade has enhanced the perceived quality of the hotel, increasing guest satisfaction and improving its reputation on review platforms.

According to Mr. Rémi Chenet, Operations Director at ACAD ÉQUIPEMENT, the integrator chosen by the hotel: “from the beginning of our collaboration, Televes has stood out for the exceptional quality of its technical products. Their expertise and constant innovation have allowed our projects to be carried out under the best possible conditions. The technical solutions provided by Televes France have always met our expectations.”

Mr. Chenet adds that “beyond product quality, what we especially want to highlight is the human quality of Televes' technical staff. Their professionalism, commitment, and collaborative spirit created true synergy between our teams. Every interaction was marked by great courtesy and a real team spirit, making it easier to achieve our common goals, with technical support addressing any questions and helping us face technical challenges. The people at Televes are invaluable assets to our partnership.”

The case of Hotel La Couronne in Chamonix demonstrates how implementing innovative solutions like ArantiaCast can transform the guest experience and position a hotel at the forefront of the industry. In a world where connectivity and entertainment are essential, this integration represents a key step toward service excellence and competitive differentiation..
