Australian resort taps Liveport for TV, Wi-Fi services

Internet services and Internet of Things-based technology provider Liveport has implemented the BeyondTV streaming platform, along with an upgrade of Wi-Fi network capabilities, at Yara Valley Lodge near Melbourne, Australia. 

The BeyondTV platform will let guests cast personal streamed content from thousands of mobile-based apps without the need to upgrade existing guestroom televisions. The platform also sidesteps the need for guests to enter personal login details on guestroom televisions.

"Traditional in-room entertainment such as [video-on-demand] has not only become outdated in the eyes of guests, but is also a significant cost for hotels. Partnering with Liveport and adopting BeyondTV was essential to meeting guest expectations while lowering operational expenses," said Anthony LoGiusto, general manager at Yara Valley Lodge. "As a comprehensive in-room platform, BeyondTV even provides us with the opportunity to generate revenue by advertising available offerings on guestroom televisions. Combined with Liveport's impressive results in upgrading our property's Wi-Fi service, we are fully confident in our ability to now meet the latest experience personalization and device connectivity demands."  

With fast, reliable and secure internet access being a top guest priority and essential for many hotel systems, Liveport is also credited with implementing an advanced Wi-Fi network upgrade at Yara Valley Lodge. The property can now guarantee high-speed connections throughout all onsite areas while eliminating any Wi-Fi dead zones. Networks deployed by Liveport are further backed-up by 24/7 monitoring and support.
