    Using a Hotel Interactive TV System to Drive Revenue in Modern Hotels

    Hotel owners and IT leaders rarely treat guest-facing technology as a serious revenue contributor, especially when it comes to the in-room experience. But a better in-room experience can reduce service friction, increase operational efficiency, improve service visibility, and create more opportunities for ancillary spending. That is why a modern hotel interactive TV system deserves more strategic attention than it usually gets.

    ANTlabsEzTV is designed to turn the in-room television into an interactive digital hub rather than a passive screen. The platform combines UHD live TV, PMS-synchronized personalized content, casting, and centralized content management, while operating within ANTlabs’ broader ASP Cloud architecture for configuration, monitoring, and reporting across properties.

    Moving the In-Room TV Beyond Basic Entertainment

    Many hotels still use the television as a basic entertainment endpoint instead of a meaningful service platform. That approach limits guest engagement, weakens service discoverability, and leaves revenue opportunities underused throughout the stay.

    ANTlabsEzTV is positioned to move the television beyond conventional channel delivery into a broader guest-service environment. It has IPTV, PMS integration, digital compendium, casting, and cloud-enabled CMS capabilities, which allow the screen to support both guest interaction and hotel operations from a single touchpoint.

    How Easier Guest Interactions Improve Hotel Operations

    Guest expectations have shifted toward digital convenience that feels immediate, intuitive, and relevant throughout the stay. When guests must call the front desk for basic requests or search manually for hotel information, the property creates unnecessary friction for both guests and staff.

    ANTlabsEzTV supports practical functions that directly reduce this friction in the room. These include wake-up call setup, personalized welcome messages based on guest language, two-way messaging with the front desk, guest surveys, bill view, express checkout, weather information, and flight information, all accessible through the in-room TV interface.

    For operations teams, the value is straightforward and immediate. When guests can handle routine actions through the television, the front desk spends less time managing repetitive low-value interactions and more time focusing on service quality, issue resolution, and higher-impact guest engagement.

    Putting Hotel Services in Front of Guests at the Right Time

    Hotels often invest heavily in restaurants, spa services, retail offers, and property experiences, yet many guests never encounter those offers at the right moment. A hotel interactive TV system changes that by placing service discovery inside one of the most visible and consistently used touchpoints in the room.

    ANTlabsEzTV includes capabilities that support current promotions, interactive guest directory functions, hotel services, virtual shop options, and an online shopping experience for products such as souvenirs, exclusive items, jewelry, wines, and artwork. The platform also supports bill view and express checkout, which makes service interaction more transparent and convenient during the stay.

    For hotel owners, commercial logic is compelling and direct. When promotions are easier to see and easier to act on, hotels can improve ancillary revenue capture without depending entirely on printed collateral, verbal upselling, or front-desk reminders.

    Why Centralized Management Matters Across Hotel Properties

    Guest-facing technology only creates long-term value when hotel IT can manage it across rooms and properties. If every content change, interface update, or troubleshooting task becomes manual and fragmented, the operational burden quickly cancels the guest-facing benefit.

    ANTlabsEzTV addresses this with a web-based CMS that supports no-code customization, menu and content editing, channel configuration, signage management, and multiple user access levels. The datasheet also highlights compatibility with a wide range of PMS platforms, together with customization points for branding, welcome messages, hotel services, promotions, information services, and support pages.

    For multi-property groups, this creates a stronger operating model across the portfolio. Standardized control helps maintain brand consistency, simplifies updates, and reduces the complexity that often comes with managing guest technology across different hotel environments.

    Guest experience influences revenue more directly

    Many hospitality teams still separate guest satisfaction from operational performance and revenue strategy. In practice, those outcomes are tightly connected, especially when the technology in the room helps guests find services faster, interact with the hotel more easily, and complete more transactions without friction.

    ANTlabsEzTV is part of a broader digital high-touch approach that helps hotels respond to rising guest expectations while also addressing operational pressure. That makes the platform relevant not only as an entertainment solution, but as part of the Invisible Link that supports stable service delivery, stronger brand perception, and more profitable guest engagement.

    Introducing SG Pro 5410 as the New Flagship SG Pro Model

    Available from 1 May onwards, SG Pro 5410 supersedes SG Pro 5400 with native 10GBase-T copper ports, a 1400W PSU, and up to 1.5x the performance for hotel WiFi solutions and other demanding network environments.

    We are pleased to announce the availability of the new SG Pro 5410 from 1 May 2026 onwards.

    The SG Pro 5410 is now the flagship model in the SG Pro range, formally superseding the SG Pro 5400. This platform refresh marks the next step in the SG Pro lineup, while maintaining the same ASP and SG5 feature set that customers and partners are already familiar with.

    With performance tuning and continuing optimizations in both hardware and software, the SG Pro 5410 can deliver up to 1.5x the performance of the SG Pro 5400. Compared with the SG Pro 5400, the SG Pro 5410 is also positioned to deliver faster web response and improved responsiveness in demanding environments, making it the latest flagship option for deployments that demand fast, responsive web performance on networks handling up to 30,000 concurrent users on a single server.

    AI-generated perspective image for illustrative purposes only. Kindly refer to datasheet for actual view.

    A key hardware advantage of the SG Pro 5410 is its native 10GBase-T copper ports, allowing direct 10GbE copper connectivity without the need to purchase separate copper transceivers. This provides clearer 10GE positioning and makes deployment planning simpler for environments using copper-based 10GbE connectivity.

    As part of this refresh, the SG Pro 5410 introduces updated hardware, including a 1400W PSU, while retaining identical ASP and SG5 feature sets to the SG Pro 5400. This allows customers to move to the latest flagship SG Pro model without changes to software capability or pricing structure.

    From 1 May onwards, the SG Pro 5410 will replace the SG Pro 5400 for new opportunities, reflecting ANTlabs’ continued investment in innovation and R&D to support evolving requirements across hotel WiFi solutions, hospitality groups, world-class airports, sporting venues, and other large-scale network environments.

    ASP VERSION: 2.8.0
    RELEASE DATE: 20 Jan 2026

    SG 5 Update #14

    Important Pre-Update Information

    1. Verify System Time Before Updating
    Please ensure the gateway’s system time is accurate before applying this update.
    Use Settings > Date & Time > Sync Now with a valid NTP server (e.g. pool.ntp.org).
    Incorrect system time may cause patch sequencing issues and impact future updates.

    2. For Microsoft Exchange Email Users
    If you previously applied the temporary workaround of disabling Multi-Factor Authentication (for sender email address), i.e. reverting to Basic SMTP Authentication, to allow sending email via Microsoft Exchange, we strongly recommend the following:

    Apply this update.
          a. Configure OAuth authentication on your Exchange server.
          b. Apply this update.
          c. Enter your OAuth credentials in the gateway’s SMTP Server settings.
          d. Remove the temporary workaround on the Exchange side

    Note: Microsoft will disable Basic SMTP Authentication starting 1 March 2026, so timely migration to OAuth is required to ensure uninterrupted email functionality.

    If you previously applied the temporary workaround of whitelisting source IP to send out email, though the disabling of Basic SMTP Authentication will not affect this, it is still recommended to eventually move to the more secure OAuth authentication.

    3. Email Configuration Requirements for Successful Update
    This update introduces a unified SMTP Server configuration. The update will abort if conflicting email settings are detected.

    To proceed, please ensure:
    If Email Client is configured “Local” and Email Server Forwarding is “OFF”
    → Switch Email Client to “None” or “External” or enable Email Server Forwarding.

    If Email Client is configured “External” and Email Server Forwarding is “Enabled”
    → The SMTP host and port must match. Otherwise:
         – Disable Email Server Forwarding, or
         – Align both configurations to identical server and port values.
         – All configured sender email addresses (Accounts, Reports, Email Client) must be identical.

    After correcting any discrepancies, re-run the update.

    4. High Availability (HA) Requirements
    This update is HA-compatible.
         – If the connected slave unit is running Update 13, 14, or 15, this update will proceed.
         – This update will attempt to update the connected slave unit if the connected slave unit is running Update 13 or 14.
         – If the connected slave is outside of 13, 14 or 15, the update will stop. The slave must be isolated, individual nodes updated to the required same version, and then re-paired.


    This update adds the following:

    SkyTouch REST API – per-guest allow-posting control
         – RMS Cloud REST API – VIP-specific plans
         – Cloudbeds PMS, WebRezPro REST API – Tying account expiry to guest departure date

    Administrative & Network Improvements
         – Custom MAC address support for WAN VLAN interfaces
         – Improved Payment Gateway configuration page
         – VLAN search added to Session Monitor
         – LDAP Admin Login now supports up to 255-character Search Bind DN

         – Updated SSH components (CVE-2023-38408, CVE-2025-32728)
         – Stronger NTP security
         – Option to disable TCP timestamps
         – Improved ARP handling in HA environments
         – Restricted IPv6 access to gateway IPs from authenticated downstream devices
         – Updated SSL certificate handling:
         – ECC algorithm support
         – Multiple domain and wildcard domain support

    Note: All wildcard and multiple domains specified in the certificate will take effect unless overwritten by the user-entered multiple domains.

         – Enhanced firewall stability
         – Enhanced disk security

    Email System Modernization
    All outgoing email—system notifications, reports, account maintenance messages, and API-based messages—now uses a centralized SMTP Server configuration.

    Key changes:
         – Local Email Server forwarding is now integrated into the unified SMTP system
         – Legacy SMTP “bypass mode” on port 25 is removed
         – Using the gateway as an SMTP server (forwarding OFF) is no longer supported
         – External Email Client or Email Server forwarding configuration is migrated automatically if the settings are unambiguous
         – Full support for OAuth 2.0 SMTP Authentication, aligning with Microsoft’s 2026 authentication changes

    Other Enhancements
         – New “file_download” API for custom login pages
         – Reduced log sizes for web server and HTTPS walled-garden proxy

    Bug Fixes

    – Correct handling of large guest counts from Micros Fidelio PMS
    – Fixed inaccurate ARP display in LAN ARP page
    – Removed incorrect VLAN creation links in Network Device and Port Binding panels
    – Fixed missing port forwarding list after changes
    – Corrected NTP server name display after saving settings

    – Corrected persistence of time-based login restrictions
    – Fixed complimentary label issue in Event Location editor
    – Enabled downloading of large (GB-sized) log files
    – Corrected creation timestamps for form users
    – Fixed bandwidth sync errors for blocked MAC addresses
    – Web proxy’s DNS lookups restricted to A-records only
    – Resolved issues caused by unexpected AAAA DNS responses when fetching available updates
    – Ensured proper log rotation on all machines


    Post-Update Recommendation
    A system reboot is recommended after installing this update to ensure that all security enhancements are fully applied.
