Premier Telesolutions Releases New IPTV System For On-Demand Entertainment
Online, June 17, 2010 (Newswire.com) - The system, which has been specifically designed to deliver a rich media experience direct to the bedside, gives patients greater control than ever before over their entertainment and information options.
Targeted at private hospitals where premium room facilities can be offered, the IPTV system is designed to be discreet so as not to get in the way of either the patient or medical staff. It comes equipped with an easy to use interface, as well as multilingual capabilities that make it accessible to the vast majority of patients. There is also a digital signage capability that enables staff to publish key notes and messages direct to the patient's TV, allowing staff to reach patients quickly and efficiently if needed.
"As Britain undergoes the shift to digital, on-demand television at home, so Premier Telesolutions is bringing similar technology into the hospital in the hopes of making any stay as comfortable as possible", says Jim Oliver, Premier Telesolutions's Managing Director. "The IPTV system offers video-on-demand box office films, so patients can watch what they want, when they want. It also comes equipped with internet access, providing not only a connection to the outside world and the freedom to browse the web, but also the chance to connect with relatives and loved ones online".
Making use of recent technological developments, the IPTV box can be coupled with a wide range of LCD and plasma TV sets, allowing it to be integrated into existing hospital media systems. This synchronicity is also found in a custom audio and video option that can be linked to hospital radio and other such broadcasts, allowing a hospital's entire media output to be received through one unit.
As a technologically advanced company, Premier Telesolutions has nearly two decades' experience in delivering reliable, state of the art products. They are the longest running provider of hospital multimedia services (established in1991) and are the only supplier approved by PASA for the supply of phones and multimedia terminals, supporting over 100 hospitals in the UK.
