Let’s make casting to the guest room TV frictionless!

Here it is, finally, a simple and secure way for guests to get their own movies and shows on the TV screen.

 

Nowadays, guests carry their own content subscriptions for movies, TV series, games, videos, photos, music, and more. All of these on their mobile device…
With that in mind, Nonius developed a product that brings to the guest room the simplicity people have, when at home, casting to the TV screen the content they own from subscribing to Netflix, YouTube, etc.

Guests only need to be connected to the Hotel Guest Wi-Fi and, like at home, they will be able to connect their device to the TV. The guests can only see and control the TV in their room and the guest’s privacy is guaranteed as their data and credentials aren’t stored nor logged on the TV system.

We believe we have the best solution in the market in terms of usability and compatibility with existing TVs and Wi-Fi infrastructure. There is no need for a “special box in the room” and it is a product that is affordable to any type of property.
