PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--guestLINK™ PowerWave™ expands its international market presence to China, India, Asia Pacific and South America, and wins a notable international technology industry award in the process. The multimedia connectivity panel is also available at a number of U.S. hotels, including the Mandarin Oriental at CityCenter Las Vegas and Miami.

guestLINK PowerWave’s state-of-the-art technology is the most revolutionary connectivity development for those who are on-the-go with their personal technological devices. Through the guestLINK console, hotel guests may plug in their laptop, DVD or mp3 player, iPod, personal gaming station, camcorder or digital camera, and enjoy personal electronic devices from the convenience of their room.

guestLINK was recognized internationally earlier this year when presented with the “Star Gold Vendor” award at HOSTS, India’s largest hospitality conference. The award recognized guestLINK as a “professional and global communication business, in their attitudes and dealings, offering innovative solutions, world-class brands, information, demos for buyers to see, touch, understand and compare.”

“guestLINK kicked off 2010 with an expanded global outreach, being honored with a HOSTS Star Gold Vendor award in India, and the completion of some high-profile installations in the U.S., including CityCenter in Las Vegas,” said J. Glynn Gross, CEO of Communications Integrators, Inc. “Easy-to-use technology connectivity portals are a must for guests now.”

“We’re finding more and more of Mandarin Oriental’s guests utilizing guestLINK to view their photos and videos on the HDTV, listening to their iPod through the TV’s sound system, or viewing their laptop on the larger HDTV screen,” said Monika Nerger, Vice President of Technology, the Americas, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group. “We also provide a 'Technology Kit,' which has all the cables our guests may need to connect their devices, to complement the guestLINK connectivity console. Together we consider this a valuable amenity in our guest rooms.”

In fact, research conducted last December shows that 37% of hotel guests who use guestLINK™ will spend more time using their personal electronics during their stay. Hotels that feature guestLINK technology now have an opportunity to generate more revenue from room service and other in-room hotel amenities.

guestLINK has been installed in thousands of guest rooms across the U.S. and internationally, including select InterContinental Hotel locations, the Peace Hotel in Shanghai, the Crown Plaza in Rohini, New Delhi, the Sofitel in Mumbai, the Aloft in Chennai and Bangalore, and the InterContinental in Mayur Vihar, New Delhi.
