Annapolis, Maryland-based eTelemetry today is launching Notify, a network appliance that manages guest Internet access speeds and provides hoteliers with the ability to market premium bandwidth tiers,
corporate promotions, and hotel services inside guest Web browsers as they access the Internet. With Notify, hotel guests receive targeted banner ads and premium Internet access enhancing their online
experience while enabling hotels to increase revenue with additional, targeted services.
Hotels can control their existing bandwidth by using Notify to manage guest Internet access
speeds so that available bandwidth is partitioned evenly and not dominated by a few guests using bandwidth--intensive applications, such as streaming video. Notify enables hotels to send messages to
guests as they surf the Internet, for increased revenue through the promotion of fee-based premium bandwidth services and the sale of advertising space to national and local vendors. Hotels can also
leverage Notify to improve the guest experience through targeted messaging by room or group.
Notify is a plug-and-play network appliance that is easy to deploy on any network and requires no
configuration by the guest or in guest rooms. Notify's intuitive Web-based interface makes it easy for hotel staff to add hotel-specific content to Web pages, target ads to guests, and offer guests
the ability to purchase bandwidth upgrades.
