Ⅰ. Introduction: The Death of Cable and the Rise of BYOC (Bring Your Own Content)
Today’s travelers live in a streaming-first world. At home, they binge their favorite TV series, watch YouTube shorts, or catch up on Disney+ — all from their personal devices. When they check into a hotel, they expect the exact same experience: quick, simple, and fully personalized.
In fact, the inability to cast personal content has become one of the most common complaints among hotel guests, making hotel guest casting not just a bonus, but a requirement in modern smart hospitality.
What is hotel casting?
Hotel casting refers to the secure technology that allows guests to stream content from their smartphones or laptops directly to the in-room TV — without logging into accounts on a public screen.

Ⅲ. The Hotel Casting Challenge: Security and Network Reliability
Consumer streaming dongles may work at home — but they fail in hotels. That’s where our dedicated hospitality casting solution stands apart.
The Biggest Barrier: Security and Privacy
With simple consumer devices, guests can accidentally cast to another room — a nightmare for guest privacy.
✔ Our casting solution isolates every room’s devices and traffic, ensuring secure, private connections.
Guests often forget to log out on hotel TVs.
✔ Our platform enforces automatic credential removal upon checkout or session expiration.
Every connection is secure — every guest feels protected.
The Critical Need for a Reliable Network Backbone
Streaming requires high-speed connectivity in every room. Buffering equals dissatisfaction.

This simplifies infrastructure while guaranteeing a stable foundation for premium entertainment.
