AEP FAQ
What is AEP?
AEP stands for Advanced Entertainment Platform. AEP utilizes your property’s existing network to layer app-based, or 'Over-The-Top', content alongside linear satellite signal. AEP programming uses your existing coaxial cables commonly used for television service to deliver additional next-generation content. Free Apps & On Demand content included with AEP deliver thousands of hours of content to provide an enhanced entertainment experience. The diverse and customizable content ensures everyone can stay engaged.
Hotel Welcome Screen / Property Channel
AEP offers you the ability to have a branded and customized welcome screen for your guests. In most cases, this page can be programmed to be the start channel for the TV as well.
Integrated and Customized Content with AEP
IPTV offers a completely integrated content delivery system to your guest room TV’s. Besides a custom property channel, you can include other customized content, such as:
- Guest information services
- Property amenities
- Local tourist attractions
- Business partner affiliate advertising
- Billing Services
- Other relevant content to your hotel guests
What is the difference between Internet Television and IPTV for hospitality properties?
IPTV is different from Internet Television because IPTV properties have their own on-site distribution equipment which delivers content to multiple rooms. IPTV for hospitality properties requires subscriber-based TV programming (cable television programming, satellite television programming) and high speed internet access.
How is the content delivered to guest room TV’s?
IPTV content is delivered directly from your property’s headend system to your guest rooms through your LAN data or CAT 5 / CAT 6 cables.
Will I need set-top boxes for each guest room television?
No. Because it is an internet-based system, no set-top boxes or special cards are required.
Does IPTV work with our High Definition TV’s?
Yes. Your High Definition (HD) TV signal will be successfully delivered over your property’s cable network from the headend system.
