Tips when buying

Always buy a hospitality TV with at least a 2 Year commercial warranty for peace of mind. I hear that Airwave even have their own repair service and offer extended warranties!
Tim Worrall - Founder & Director

 

Size matters. We are selling more and more 43”+ TVs into budget hotels looking to provide guests with the key essentials to a comfortable stay. Invest in the future and choose the right size for your hotel.
Wayne Bowring – Key Account Manager

 

When refurbishing a guest-room, don’t forget to install a strong fixing plate behind the TV and also carefully decide on the position of the power plugs and aerial/data points at the planning stage.
Morné De Jager - Project Manager

 

Nowadays connectivity is a key element of the guest experience. Bear in mind that your customers are more than likely to be addicted to their devices and will want to watch content on the room's TV. Ask about hospitality certified Google Chromecast.
Toby Muggeridge - Senior Systems Engineer

 

Don't want unsightly satellite dishes and aerials on your property? Go for a fibre optic solution where your antennae can be sited well away from view - great for countryside hotels.
Peter Lacey - Networks Installation Manager

 

Want to provide guests with the ultimate home from home experience? Think about providing guests with Sky HD and Sky Sports channels.
Ian Tait – Key Account Manager

 

Offering blockbuster Hollywood movies free of charge in room is a great way to set your hotel apart from the rest. Airwave also offers a range of BBC programming for customers overseas. My advice is to keep content packages small and carefully tailored to your guest mix.
Richard Excell – Product Manager

 

A well designed digital signage solution helps you raise brand awareness.Do not see it as a screen where you display the latest news, but an extension of your website, an electronic concierge and that extra sales person, always adding value to your guests’ experience

Catch visitors’ attention with Airwave’s digital information displays and communicate with guests via a tailored red button in-room information channel – a great way to promote hotel products, services or facilities that generate additional revenue.

 

Finding it hard to invest in Hotel TVs? Introduce a “splash screen” that displays your branded message on screen in every room on start up! Increase food and beverage sales or cross group sales. Your TVs are a canvas waiting for promotional content.
Scott Brooker - Business Development Manager

 

Use interactive information systems embedded on TVs to make money!  receive advertising revenue by promoting local firms, allow your guests to order room service via the TV and advertise special offers such as happy hour - the list is only limited by your imagination.

Technical Team Tips

It's no longer enough to offer just high speed internet access, but rather unified communications - with or without the cable. Guests vote with their feet (and fingers) and this is reflected in many surveys, some of which place a good internet connection above breakfast and hot running water! Airwave is now able to offer end to end solutions from internet connections, captive portals / splash pages, managed access points systems, right through to IP telephony and end user support. Now is the time to make sure your guests can leave that amazing review while relaxing and watching Netflix!
Ian Parsons- IT Manager

 

Wifi architecture is all about capacity; make sure your infrastructure can cope with today's fast-paced demands from domestic and commercial clients. HD streaming is the new email.

 

For peace of mind, take out a 24/7 maintenance contract on your network - keep things running smoothly and guests happy!
Rob Simister - Service and Maintenance Supervisor

 

 

Customer Service Tips

It might sound simple, but if you are having problems with your TV, try turning it off and back on again and making sure the aerial is connected. Remember for LG TVs – the master power button is sometimes underneath! If you are still having problems – pick up the phone and give us a call.
Stephanie Brown - Customer Services Assistant & Project Coordinator

 

If you have set your Samsung TV up incorrectly and can’t work out why - you can always factory reset by putting it in standby mode, then press info, menu, mute and then power. This will take you into the service menu where you'll be able to select options and factory reset the TV.  This will then power down and come back on as if it was new out the box.
Tanya Lintott - Customer Services Manager

 

At Airwave there is always a friendly and helpful member of staff waiting to help with any of your TV questions/problems.
Zoe Wales - Customer Services Assistant

 

If your Freeview channels are appearing in the wrong order, check that your TVs are set to the correct country.
