Niantic, Conn. � June 18, 2009 � You can�t have too much of a good thing, and at INNCOM International Inc., based here, the company is bringing that philosophy to hotels around the world with its Integrated Room Automation System (IRAS). A significant advantage of IRAS is the extensive number and variety of third-party interfaces that can be used to expand the functionality of the system applications to other room devices and software systems, from property-management and building-automation systems to IP telephones and in-room entertainment solutions. 

INNCOM�s IRAS solutions will be on display at the Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition & Conference (HITEC), June 23-25 at the Anaheim (Calif.) Convention Center in Booth No. 424.

�INNCOM has developed a system that bundles together all in-room systems for better energy efficiency and an enhanced guest experience,� said John Tavares, vice president of marketing and sales for INNCOM. �In addition to our popular tabletop units for guestroom controls, INNCOM provides a seamless user interface to VoIP compatible telephones and Internet-based entertainment systems via television remote controls that allows the guest to control all INNCOM guestroom devices.

�Whether the telephone is from Nortel (with Citrix middlewear), Teledex (with FCS Computer Systems middlewear), Cisco, Avaya, Percipia, or Nevotek [in development], guests can access weather, restaurant listings, movies and entertainment channels and more with one touch on the guestroom phone,� he added. �At the same time, the phone provides the ultimate in guestroom controls by allowing guests to turn off and on lights, raise and lower temperature, control fan functions, indicate privacy and make-up-room requests, even open and close drapes.�
 

Tuned into TV The same holds true for Internet-based in-room entertainment solutions provided by companies such as LodgeNet, KoolConnect, Extenway, Gues-Tek and Enseo, Tavares said.  Joint technology developed between INNCOM and these companies� provides in-room control to guests via the guestroom TV remote device. Through the TV, guests can makes changes to in-room temperatures, change light settings, signal �do not disturb� or �make-up room� at their doorway, and other popular service requests. Working with third-party providers gives INNCOM the ability to provide in-room control of room systems and property-wide energy management, Tavares said. Using the INNCOM USB to wireless antenna, hotels can more easily retrofit rooms and save on labor and construction costs. Guests also can use the system while not having to sacrifice viewing time of a given TV program or in-room movie. A simple bar flashes at the bottom of the TV screen. And guests can keep watching the TV as they make changes for guestroom comfort and convenience. Best yet, guests also put the guestroom into INNCOM�s energy �economy mode� to save costs.
