LOS ANGELES and SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – SONIFI Solutions, the leading provider of end-to-end content and connectivity solutions for the hospitality industry, announced today that it has been selected by Hilton Hotels Worldwide (HWI) as one of two preferred service partners to provide Content Services, such as DIRECTV Free-To-Guest (FTG) programming and On Demand Content.
With service in 1.4 million guest rooms worldwide and 30 years of experience, SONIFI offers the most comprehensive suite of solutions available to the hospitality industry, including unique, customizable interactive guest services. SONIFI will offer Hilton Worldwide properties across the United States its flagship STAY1000 enterprise solution, which not only delivers DIRECTV FTG programming, but includes a broad array of On Demand Content options.
