Hong Kong’s SmarTone has unveiled a new smart hotel and smart home solution, developed as part of the second wave of its Innovation Hub program.
The new solution is an end-to-end, IoT-based solution aimed at helping property developers create a personalized and convenient experience for residence and hotel guests.
It is designed to integrate existing property management systems into a single platform for providing services including check in and check out with mobile keys and app-based control of room facilities.
SmarTone provides networking support for the solution via its mobile network, fiber broadband and Wi-Fi footprints.
The solution will be made available to both property owners and consumers. It was developed at SmarTone’s Innovation Hub.
“With the launch of our Innovation Hub last year, we have a dedicated open ecosystem to drive cross-industry collaboration and propel Hong Kong on its smart city journey,” SmarTone CEO Anna Yip said.
“To cater for the trend of the hospitality industry and meet the needs of today’s digital-savvy consumers, at the outset SmarTone initiated partnerships with property developers at both the conceptualization and construction stages to deliver an intuitive and engaging experience. This allows us to get closer to revolutionizing the quality of everyday life and achieving customer satisfaction throughout the smart journey.”
