Chromecast Solution for the Hospitality Market | Wifirst

What is Chromecast?

Chromecast is a small media player device developed by Google which plugs into the TV in each room at your property.

It allows content from smartphones, tablets and computers to be wirelessly transmitted to the television.
Chromecast is the most universal streaming solution on the market, used by thousands of applications on both Apple and Android devices.
When used in combination with Room Area Network from Wifirst, a secure Chromecast solution is created, suitable for hospitality use.
The small device plugs into the HDMI port of each TV and locked into position so that it cannot be removed without a special key.

Why is Chromecast so important to today's guests ?

Chromecast enables your guests to stream their content to the TV in their guestrooms.
Your guests can easily stream services such as Netflix, BT Sports, Now TV, Amazon Prime Video or Disney+ without any of the GDPR concerns attributed to some Smart TV's.
The popularity of streaming services in the UK have overtaken pay TV services such as Sky, as reported by Ofcom. 
Ofcom has also reported that half of UK homes now subscribe to streaming services. This figure is predicted to increase with time. 
For international travellers, local TV stations may not be suitable, especially if there is a language barrier. Chromecast provides a facility for your international guests to watch the content they want, and in turn, will drive your guest satisfaction and reviews.
