Your guests demand a superior in-room experience. In addition to a fast connection to the Internet and the comfort of a land-line phone, your guests expect a high-quality robust offering of Digital Cable television channels and HDTV service. You need to deploy Digital services, but your options are limited to installing, and being held liable, for an unsightly converter box in room, or to deploy a Satellite based solution with the real possibility of service degradation, given line-of-sight issues and rain-fade.

With a solution designed specifically for the Hospitality and Healthcare industries, RCN Business Services offers a terrestrial-based and secure Pro:Idiom® encrypted solution that eliminates the need for an in-room converter box and the risk of service interruption that is common with Satellite deployments. Simply, this means superior picture quality and sound delivered directly to your in-room HDTVs.

What is Pro:Idiom®?

• Pro:Idiom technology is a "World-class" end-to-end Digital Rights Management (DRM) system designed specifically for the hotel and healthcare industries. Until now, no other platform permitted distribution of early release High-Definition content without the use of a converter box.

• Has been reviewed and approved by third party cryptology consultants as well as studios and satellite content providers.
