At every property where we have installed our digital signage systems, managers asked for live flight time information

Hotel operators today know guests expect to have access to live airline information at any quality property. We utilize Flyte Systems' real-time airline information in an interactive format so guests see airline flight times and may even customize the view for their greatest ease of use.

Our display solutions represent the next level in hospitality signage which incorporates interactive touch for photo-realistic wayfinding meeting information, live flight status, touch-to-dial and SMS functionality which connects guests instantly from their mobile phone to property attractions from dining to spa to golf or even the front desk.

As Flyte Systems expands services to more properties, hotel companies and convention centers, it is also partnering with leading digital signage providers like DisplayIQ that incorporate our live airline data into their interactive, guest-information technology.

Hotels implementing Flyte Systems airline information on the DisplayIQ interactive digital signage platform are the Fairmont Chicago and the Hyatt Regency Phoenix. A third installation is anticipated at a Ritz Carlton property by year end.

"At every property where we have installed our digital signage systems, managers asked for live flight time information," said Brian Cunningham, president of DisplayIQ, a division of RoomNet, Inc. "Hotel operators today know guests expect to have access to live airline information at any quality property. We utilize Flyte Systems' real-time airline information in an interactive format so guests see airline flight times and may even customize the view for their greatest ease of use." Cunningham explained DisplayIQ also deploys property information in a unique interactive platform that takes digital signage beyond traditional informational reader boards. "Our display solutions represent the next level in hospitality signage which incorporates interactive touch for photo-realistic wayfinding meeting information, live flight status, touch-to-dial and SMS functionality which connects guests instantly from their mobile phone to property attractions from dining to spa to golf or even the front desk."

Brian Reynolds, president of Flyte Systems, said, "As Flyte Systems expands services to more properties, hotel companies and convention centers, it is also partnering with leading digital signage providers like DisplayIQ that incorporate our live airline data into their interactive, guest-information technology." The Flyte Systems - DisplayIQ digital signage offering is an ASP-driven solution that delivers continuously updated information to ensure flight times are accurate and frees properties from system upgrade and maintenance responsibility.
