HTNG was founded with the goal of bringing hospitality technology vendors and suppliers together with hoteliers, industry consultants, and academia to create customer-centric technology solutions, improve technology financing options, and eliminate industry-wide reluctance to embrace new technology.
As a long-time supporter of open technology standards, INNCOM was one of the first companies to endorse HTNG and its goals when the organization was founded in 2002. INNCOM has developed a neutral platform to ensure interoperability with technology created by all industry vendors and suppliers, according to Philipp Roosli, INNCOM Chief Technology Officer.
"Whether it's a wireless or hard-wired application, we are interested in working with others to develop flexible, cost-effective technology solutions that enhance the guest experience," Roosli said.
Other HTNG members include many INNCOM hospitality technology partners such as Springer-Miller Systems, Hyatt Hotels, Mandarin Oriental, MGM Mirage, Wyndham International, Microsoft, Paradyne, and Timelox.
HTNG is a non-profit organization with global scope, formed in 2002 to facilitate the development of next-generation customer-centric technologies to better meet the needs of the global hotel community. For more information, visit www.htng.org.
Founded in 1986, INNCOM develops, manufactures, and markets advanced guestroom control systems for the global lodging industry. The company originated the concept of integrating multiple communications and control functionality over a single hotel network. Recently, INNCOM created the first shared Ethernet backbone at a Westin property, where both broadband services and guest room control functionality utilize a single wiring structure. INNCOM systems are installed in more than 200,000 guestrooms, including installations in many of the most prestigious hotels in the world.
