InnCable: H. InnSpire announced the InnCable, which is essentially one computer Android ενσωματωμένος σε ένα καλώδιο Ethernet. Connect one end of it to an Ethernet port, and the other to a TV and you have a smart TV.
As the device name suggests, InnCable is targeted at hotels. It has extremely easy settings, there is no need for a server room or specialized IT management. However, InnSpire co-founder and CEO, Martin Chevalley, says he has many other possible uses.
"It's essentially an Android Box, so it can be used everywhere, even for normal home use."
"We will start selling to the hotels, but we are already talking to them Companies B2C to provide a consumer version”.
InnCable's current system includes a custom software with applications hotels, which includes information and sales services to customers. InnSpire expects other providers, such as telcos, to develop applications that promote their own services.
InnCable works better through Ethernet and POE (Power Over Ethernet) ports are ideal. It can also power the TV via the HDMI port, although not all TVs support this. If necessary, the system can be operated using an ordinary power supply and a connection Wi-Fi, although this is not as reliable. (Hotel Wi-Fi systems may be overloaded, for example.)
InnSpire reports in its press release that InnCable is based on the same innovative technology that has won the Technology Innovation Award HTNG [Hospitality Technology Next Generation] 2014. Millions of hotel guests have enjoyed world class entertainment since then.
InnCable is another way of delivering the same InnSpire system.
InnCable has two USB ports and a serial port RJ-12. InnSpire has not yet provided details about the processor or device memory.
The device is presented at the HITEC conference in Toronto, Canada (June 26-29). HITEC refers to itself as the "largest hosting technology exhibition in the world".
