Hospitality industry wakes up to TravelTalkSM part of a range of network based services designed specifically for the Hospitality industry

Clasix is delighted to announce the launch of TravelTalk, an integrated managed service solution slashing the cost of in room national and international calling by the hotel guest. The flagship, flat rate telephone service provides low cost high quality calling to countries around the world.

 

Travellers no longer need to avoid using their room phone as TravelTalk offers up to 60 minutes of talk time for as little as 5.99 Euros. Based on existing rates research has revealed that guests can make savings of up to 350 Euros per day over using standard hotel services or their mobile phones.

 

Clasix, the leading provider of innovative telecoms, high speed internet access and in room entertainment to the hospitality industry is forecasting installation in 60 hotels by the end of 2010.

TravelTalk, the flagship solution in Clasix’s TravelSuite portfolio, uses a proprietary fibre ‘dual stack IPv4/IPv6 network which is the next generation and successor to the current ‘public’ IPv4. IPv6 provides a bigger ‘pipe’ of up to 100meg, ‘burstable’ bandwidth and virtually unlimited IP addresses for greater security and control.

“Guests will be able to enjoy unbeatable call rates which are significantly less than using a mobile phone, without any issues of signal quality or battery life” says Michael Lacy, Clasix. “For business travellers, conference calling from the convenience of their hotel room has never been more affordable.”

“While the benefits for guests are huge, TravelTalk also provides the opportunity for hotels to increase room revenue and save money on their own internal call costs. As a ‘no capex’ managed service the system costs nothing for the hotel to install* and works with existing hardware and billing services.”

At a time when hotel operators are struggling to preserve occupancy rates without slashing their room rates, the benefits created by TravelSuite services helps hoteliers to deliver better value whist generating profitable incremental revenues and strengthened customer loyalty.
