| DENVER,
CO, April 25, 2012 – Roomlinx, Inc. (OTC: RMLX), the innovative
developer of
interactive TV (iTV) applications for the hospitality industry,
introduces an
Interactive “click and go” Program Guide (IPG) that’s getting great
reviews
from hoteliers and the guests they serve. The Roomlinx IPG, a popular feature included in Roomlinx iTV system v3.0 and above, is currently being used by guests at Hyatt Regency New Orleans and Hyatt Regency Denver Tech Center and will soon be installed in other full service Hyatt properties across U.S., Canada and Caribbean.

Interactive “Click and Go” Program Guide
“Guests have come to expect an exceptional experience when checking into a Hyatt, and now Roomlinx helps us deliver that experience with a comprehensive, innovative iTV system that includes features like their Interactive Program Guide,” said Pete Sears, Senior Vice President, Operations, North America, Hyatt Hotels and Resorts. Hyatt recently signed an agreement to install Roomlinx in up to 60,000 hotel rooms throughout U.S., Canada and Caribbean. The Roomlinx IPG gives hotel guests a fast, easy way to access a full schedule of current and upcoming shows. Guests simply press the guide button on the remote or click the TV icon on the iTV screen to display the IPG. Navigating is just as easy with choices like page up, page down, auto scroll and rollover functionality to display program descriptions. Once a program has been selected, one click takes the guest directly to the show. The Roomlinx IPG goes above and beyond the ‘browse and select’ platforms currently offered by other hotel technology providers. Roomlinx’s proprietary IPG technology offers two features that allow the guide to do the searching for the guest, creating even greater ease of use.
“The Roomlinx IPG is just one of several features guests get when they use our iTV system. We’ve purposely designed features that appeal to the guest who expects an in-room entertainment system to be a step ahead of—not behind—the TV back home,” said Franks Watervoort, Roomlinx’s Chief Information Officer. “When it comes to choosing a TV program, guests don’t want to spend time flipping through channels. Nor are they interested in hunting around for a printed channel guide, especially since it provides such limited information. Guests want a quick, easy way to find what programs are available so they can make a faster, more informed decision. The Roomlinx IPG helps them do that.” Like the entire Roomlinx iTV product line, the IPG is designed to provide guests with the best in-room experience. “Reliability is always a top priority, along with convenience, attractive styling and ease of use,” said Watervoort. “But, it doesn’t stop there. Hoteliers benefit too. Property owners tell us this feature lets them eliminate the costs and complications associated with creating, printing and distributing paper channel guides in a variety of locations. It’s a greener option, and most importantly, it allows them to surprise their guests with a special amenity that makes the stay even better.” Hoteliers can experience the Roomlinx IPG and iTV system themselves at booth #405 at HITEC 2012 in Baltimore on June 25-28.
