    ANTlabs Launches SG Express 5000 at GITEX 2025

     

    Redefining Hospitality Connectivity with Up to 40% Cost Savings

    [Singapore, 13 Oct 2025]ANTlabs, a global leader in hospitality network technology and cloud connectivity solutions, today unveiled the SG Express 5000 Gateway at GITEX Global 2025 in Dubai.

    Delivering up to 40% cost savings than previous models, the SG Express 5000 empowers hotel groups and service providers to achieve enterprise-grade performance at a fraction of traditional costs, while finally addressing a long-standing industry gap.

    For too long, smaller hospitality properties have been forced to rely on “not-fit-for-purpose” enterprise substitutes like generic firewalls and basic network appliances never designed to meet the specialized demands of guest connectivity, PMS integration, and cloud-based service orchestration.

    Now, with the SG Express 5000, ANTlabs delivers a purpose-built solution that combines cost efficiency, performance, and deep hospitality intelligence — completing its world-class SG 5 Gateway product family.

    Delivering What the Industry Has Been Asking For

    For years, hotel groups and MSPs have asked ANTlabs for a cost-effective, high-performance gateway that delivers enterprise-grade features suited to entry-level and boutique properties.

    Now, with the SG Express 5000, ANTlabs proudly delivers exactly that.

    This product is the result of a perfect convergence of:

    • Advancements in hardware efficiency
    • Improvements in cost optimization and scalability
    • Deep synergy with ANTlabs’ hybrid cloud architecture

    These breakthroughs allow ANTlabs to extend its enterprise-class software and service stack — including cloud management, monetization, and PMS integration — to every hospitality segment, completing its vision of a unified connectivity ecosystem.

    The SG Express 5000 is the culmination of feedback from hotel groups worldwide,” said Teck Kang Toh, CEO of ANTlabs Hospitality BU. “Our goal was to create a high-performance gateway that smaller hotels could deploy confidently, with the same reliability, integration, and cloud intelligence enjoyed by larger properties.

    A Model for Every Hospitality Segment — Now Complete

    The launch of the SG Express 5000 finalizes ANTlabs’ comprehensive suite of gateways, each engineered specifically for hospitality and unified through the ANTlabs Service Platform (ASP) Cloud:

    • SG Express 5000 – Purpose-built for entry-level hotels, boutique properties, small venues, and serviced apartments, combining affordability with enterprise-grade capability.
    • SG Express 5100 – Designed for small to medium-sized properties, delivering robust performance and scalability for mid-tier operations.
    • SG Express 5200 – Optimized for 4- and 5-star properties, providing enhanced throughput and premium features for top-tier environments.
    • SG Pro 5400 – Built for large integrated resorts, convention centers, and airports, supporting the highest capacity and redundancy requirements.

    Together, these models form a complete, cloud-managed product lineup enabling hotel groups and managed service providers (MSPs) to deliver consistent guest experiences across all property tiers.

    Purpose-Built for Hospitality, Backed by Cloud Intelligence

    The SG Express 5000 integrates seamlessly with the ANTlabs Service Platform (ASP) Cloud, enabling centralized configuration, analytics, and service control across all sites.

    Key Highlights:

    • Up to 40% cost savings vs. comparable gateway models
    • Full ASP Cloud integration for centralized management and analytics
    • 40+ supported PMS integrations, including legacy serial systems
    • Advanced QoS, policy control, and user management for optimized guest experiences
    • Flexible new licensing models, including cost-effective non-shared options
    • Wi-Fi monetization and engagement modules for new revenue opportunities
    • Zero-touch provisioning for rapid deployment and reduced operational overhead

    ANTlabs Introduces ANTlabsEzCast at HITEC Toronto 2023

    Enabling Digital Services and Elevating Guest Experience with Advanced Casting Solution for Hospitality

    [Toronto, Jun 27 2023] – ANTlabs, a pioneering provider of advanced network solutions for the hospitality sector, is pleased to launch ANTlabsEzCast, an innovative casting solution designed specifically for hotels. “As internet traffic continues to surge with streaming services dominating content consumption, ANTlabsEzCast enhances the guest experience by seamlessly integrating secure access to individual room TVs,” says Wee-Tuck, Teo, CEO of ANTlabs.  “With ANTlabsEzCast, we aim to empower hotels to launch digital services like casting that mirror the comforts and convenience of home and the luxury of utilizing the large-screen TV.”

    According to recent statistics, streaming now accounts for more than 60% of global internet traffic, making it the dominant form of content consumption. In response to this growing trend, ANTlabsEzCast allows hotels to cater to the evolving needs of tech-savvy hotel guests. Guests can easily pair their mobile or Wi-Fi-enabled devices to the in-room TV via QR Code or via browser authentication.  With the ability to transform large-screen TVs into powerful work or entertainment hubs, ANTlabsEzCast provides guests with a truly engaging digital experience. Privacy and security are also ensured as no credentials are stored on the TV.

    ANTlabsEzCast delivers a cost-effective standalone solution with cloud management and on-premise gateway control. When paired with ANTlabs gateways’ onboard Advanced QoS and application-shaping technologies, hotels can be assured that the surfing speeds do not degrade significantly with the additional streaming internet traffic. Furthermore, it offers a superior technical advantage by eliminating multicast traffic overhead. This is achieved by creating a private network between the end user’s devices and associated Chromecast devices.

    Benefits of ANTlabsEzCast for hotels and guests:

    • – Unmatched in-room experience that drives brand loyalty and delights guests
    • – Cost-effective solution with cloud management and on-premises gateway control
    • – Effortless content casting for guests, eliminating the hassle of HDMI cables
    • – Ease of deployment and monitoring for IT Managers, minimizing troubleshooting
    • – Centralized reporting and cloud-based configuration through a unified dashboard

    ANTlabsEzCast offers competitive pricing and low operating costs, making it the most cost-effective choice when combined with High-Speed Internet Access (HSIA) services.

    ANTlabsEzCast will be showcased at the prestigious HITEC 2023 event in Toronto, where industry leaders and IT professionals convene to shape the future of hospitality technology. The official launch of ANTlabsEzCast is scheduled for June 27th, with interested customers and partners gaining access to this innovative solution starting in Q3 2023.
