Telenor Satellite Broadcasting signed a key deal, which will help it provide satellite broadband solutions in hotels across Europe. The deal was signed with Otrum, a provider of interactive TV solutions to hotels, which will see Otrum use a DVB-RCS service mainly to deliver films to hotels, but also to establish two-way communication with their installed systems within hotels.

Fredd Causevic, President & CEO of Otrum, commented, “Logistically, delivering film content from a central source is very practical –saving both time and money. At the same time this will improve our service to hotels, with overnight film updates and more flexibility in the film selection. Via two-way communications we can also monitor and update the software installed at individual hotels, giving these online hotels improved reliability and remote service.”
