Technology Highlights and HOSPA Hub Programme Technology Highlights
Former Innovation Award winner Call Systems Technology (CST) (S1936, S1940) will be launching its new C-3110 DECT phone handset at Hotelympia 2012. The C-3110 is designed for hotels, big restaurants, leisure complexes and other sites where continuous, reliable communications are essential. The handset’s robust design is drop-tested and water and dust resistant, in compliance with IP65 classification.

TeamAssist , a new training and
reference software solution. Aimed at restaurants, the system dynamically enhances the presentation of information, making training more effective, alleviating stress and reducing costs.
Amina Technologies Ltd (S2045) will be launching its high-fidelity speaker, the Amina AIW350E which fits into a section of gypsum board so can be skim coated over to become virtually invisible.
It uses a small displacement and large surface area along with a vibrational soundboard technique to reproduce sound through its entire audio bandwidth. In large open plan spaces, the number of speakers required is some four or more times less than using conventional ceiling speakers – delivering significant labour savings for operators.
