Certified status ensures that purpose-built voice-activated guest room virtual assistant meets regulatory standards for compatibility with hotel devices and services worldwide.
SAN JOSE, CALIF. – Angie Hospitality, developer of the industry's first 24-hour interactive guest room assistant purpose-built for the hotel environment, today announces its comprehensive 'global-ready' status, having received multiple authorizations and international certifications to operate in virtually every hospitality market around the globe. Combined with its original North American certifications for the US and Canada, Angie is now ready to complement guest room devices and property solutions in additional regions that include the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, Asia and the Middle East.
Angie Hospitality's interactive guest room assistant meets the health, safety, and environmental protection standards established by internationally-recognized product testing and regulatory bodies, including the FCC (Federal Communications Commission), IC (Industry Canada), CE (Conformite Europeene), and UL (Underwriter's Laboratories), along with many others. Angie has been rigorously tested to ensure that its radio and electrical emissions do not interfere with other devices within the same environment in accordance with the stringent FCC Class B standard. This certification ensures that the device's Zigbee, Wi-Fi and BLE capabilities all meet the more demanding FCC standard. While not compulsory, Angie's AC adaptor is UL-listed and meets the safety standards required in most workplace settings. Angie Hospitality has produced a Declaration of Conformity affirming that its 24-hour interactive guest room assistant complies with the requirements for global markets that recognize the CE regulatory standard.
"These international certifications, when combined with our North American approvals, reflect our commitment to meet the needs of the global hospitality market," said Ted Helvey, CEO of Angie Hospitality. "Now, hoteliers around the world can be completely confident in Angie's ability to meet their region's specific regulatory requirements, while integrating seamlessly with existing infrastructure and legacy systems."
With these international certifications, hoteliers around the world can implement a solution that simultaneously streamlines property operations, improves staff efficiencies and maximizes revenue opportunities. Angie's flexible, modular platform allows it to serve as a complete stand-alone system or, through seamless integration with leading hotel technology system providers, the solution offers a variety of configurations to replace the guest room telephone, and include room automation features, energy management and more. Angie instantly upgrades any hotel room, allowing guests to play their own music through built-in Bluetooth speakers, make hands-free calls, access hotel amenities and information, charge devices, and even create a customized and secure in-room Wi-Fi network. Based on an enterprise-class, cloud-managed platform with secure, scalable and highly-available architecture that is continuously monitored in the Cloud, Angie has the ability to self-configure for each property and room as soon as the device is plugged in.
