Sky Report: PDI-SAT and DSS Installations deploy first DIRECTV COM1000 HD System for Hilton Brands PDI-SAT, a leading distributor of DIRECTV equipment, and DSS Installations, a leading dealer for DIRECTV Free-to-Guest HD services and installation for the Hospitality market, successfully deployed their first 24-channel all-HD, DIRECTV COM1000 System for Hilton Brands this month. DSS Installations has a Master Operating Agreement for all Hilton Brand Hotels Nationwide.
The Hilton Garden Inn selected for the beta launch, a flagship 162 unit property, is located in El Segundo, California. It is Hilton Brands national technology center and showcases all the latest technology and advanced services available to the market. The property also has the latest LG and Phillips HDTV panels designed with the latest Pro:Idiom™ encryption technology. The COM1000 system provides DIRECTV a stable QAM modulated RF platform to make HD more affordable for owners today, and expandable for tomorrow.
The future of Free to Guest Video is HDTV. The COM1000 System, available from PDI-SAT, is designed to work exclusively for DIRECTV HD services and its “Plug & Play” architecture delivers optimum performance of up to 24 channels of HD using Pro:Idiom encryption while only occupying 8 RU of rack space. The COM1000 is designed to decrease the space required, add more HD channel capability, and lower the per channel costs of delivering HD to these types of properties.
The DIRECTV COM1000, developed in partnership with Thomson Inc. is another step forward in the development of technology platforms that deliver DIRECTV’s HD services to Multi-Client properties. Distribution was recently awarded to PDI-SAT for the COM1000 System due to their experience and commitment to SMATV deployment for the Satellite Industry over the past two decades.
Nationwide dealership opportunities are available for the COM1000 through PDI-SAT now. If you are interested in getting more information about the COM1000 System, call Dave Ward - PDI-SAT at 888-247-8230 or send your email request to dward@pdisat.com.
