Niefern-Öschelbronn, September 26, 2024 – We are excited to announce a significant advancement in the IPTV system at Slemani Rotana Hotel. We have successfully upgraded the outdated headend to the cutting-edge Tangram solution.
Slemani Rotana, located on Salim Street and 20 minutes away from Sulaymaniyah International Airport, offers luxury for business and leisure travelers. The five-star hotel features 240 modern rooms and suites, some with exclusive lounge access and city or mountain views. Guests can enjoy a variety of amenities including five diverse dining options, meeting rooms, a ballroom, a fitness club, swimming pools and a spa. Close to key attractions like Sulaymaniyah Museum and local parks, Slemani Rotana is ideal for exploring the city’s cultural and natural beauty.
The state-of-the-art system is powered by WISI’s Tangram video platform, a modular solution for high-density reception, decryption, and delivery. Tangram enables personalized channel selections, supports various signal formats, and guarantees an uninterrupted viewing experience for all guests.
“With this upgrade, we are proud to offer a more reliable and high-quality signal, along with an expanded selection of channels and enhanced features,” said Mr. Tahseen Alattar, Assistant Director of IT at Slemani Rotana. “The transition to the WISI Tangram Headend not only elevates performance but also optimizes management within our IT department ensuring a seamless and enjoyable entertainment experience for all our valued guests.”
Key benefits of the New Tangram IPTV System:
Expanded Channel Offering: The new system increased in-room live channels to 56, bringing the total to 126 channels, including 90 channels in High-Definition, vastly improving the viewing options compared to the old system.
Streamlined Management: A single management portal streamlines control, enhancing efficiency, a feature that is absent in the previous system.
Flexible Installation: WISI’s Optical Quattro Converter allows easy relocation of the IPTV headend anywhere within the building, offering greater flexibility in management.
Customizable Design: The modular nature of Tangram supports easy add-ons, such as HDMI encoder or descrambling modules, providing tailored solutions for evolving needs.
Space Efficiency: The compact design of Tangram saves valuable rack space, optimizing overall set-up.
“This successful installation marks our second WISI system upgrade at a Rotana Hotel in Iraq, following the Erbil Rotana project. We are grateful to Slemani Rotana for entrusting us with their system upgrade and for their confidence in WISI’s technology,” said Ali Ghosein, General Manager of WISI Middle East FZE
