LodgeNet Interactive Corporation – Gratified that Omni is endorsing our Envision platform

LodgeNet Interactive Corporation (NASDAQ: LNET), the leading provider of interactive media and connectivity services to hospitality and healthcare businesses and the consumers they serve, and Omni Hotels & Resorts today announced agreements that will upgrade over 30 Omni properties to LodgeNet’s latest generation EnvisionTM interactive HDTV (iHDTV) platform and apps.

Under the agreements, LodgeNet will install Envision in over 13,000 guest rooms across the United States. Envision delivers the industry’s first cloud-connected interactive television experience without the need for a computer in every room and offers apps that connect guests to the things that are important to them when traveling, such as checking weather and current flight information as well as learning more about on-site amenities and local attractions. A Happenings Channel will give guests of the luxury hotel brand 24-hour access to the latest local attractions. Envision will also deliver a full array of in-room entertainment.  In addition, the recently released LodgeNet Mobile App is being supported at all LodgeNet-served Omni hotels.

“For more than a dozen years LodgeNet has proven their value in helping our hotels leverage technology to create a better guest experience and streamline their operations – both of which are vital to succeed in today’s competitive environment,” said Richard Tudgay, Vice President of Technology for Omni Hotels & Resorts. “We believe the power of Envision to connect our guests to the things they value will be tremendously effective in helping our hotels fulfill the Omni goal of leaving a lasting impression with every customer interaction.”

“Omni is one of the most well-known and highly acclaimed lodging brands in North America, and the Omni organization represents one of our longest continuous customer relationships,” said David Goldstone, Vice President Sales & Hotel Relations for LodgeNet.

“We are gratified that Omni is endorsing our Envision platform and that we will have the opportunity to further enhance the in-room experience at dozens of their locations. We appreciate the continuing confidence in LodgeNet that these new agreements represent at both the corporate and property level.”

LodgeNet has provided interactive television services to the Omni organization since 1999.
