Roomlinx signs deal to provide interactive TV to Holiday Inn Express and Suites

Roomlinx, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: RMLX), the innovative supplier of hospitality in-room Interactive TV products, today announced that it has entered into a contract to provide Holiday Inn Express and Suites Atlanta Airport West - Camp Creek in Atlanta, GA with a comprehensive new interactive in-room entertainment system. The Roomlinx system was sold by IBM through its new “Hotel-in-a-Box” program.

It will be a great way to differentiate our property by giving guests an in-room experience they won’t get somewhere else.”

“Being part of ‘Hotel-in-a-Box,’ and working with an industry leader like IBM, is exciting because it creates opportunities for us to help hotels like Holiday Inn Express and Suites take advantage of cutting edge technology to enrich their guests’ travel experience in new ways,” said Michael Wasik, Roomlinx CEO. “Limited and select service hotels account for roughly 2 million hotel rooms in the US and we expect to see strong growth within this underserved segment.”

With Roomlinx Interactive TV, the Holiday Inn Express and Suites guests will have in-room access to HD Hollywood and specialty movies, high speed internet, traditional free-to-guest television, business tools, world radio and TV, information about the hotel facilities as well as local restaurants, services, attractions, maps and more.
