LG Electronics, a global digital leader, is targeting the hospitality industry for its HomNet smart home solution.

LG HomNet integrates eight different solutions - community portal, home tasking, home management, home entertainment, home safety, home communication, well-being and community management, a spokesman said.

Last month, LG Electronics confirmed contracts with Sungwon and Bando & Royal House to outfit more than 1,200 homes in the UAE with comprehensive and tailored HomNet solutions valued at Dh30 million ($8.21 million). These include projects such as Santeville Tower and U-Bora Tower, both in Business Bay, Santeview in Cultural Village as well as Al Naseem Towers in Sharjah.

“Leading hotels in the Middle East are now recognising the need for incorporating smart home technology into their hotel properties and serviced apartments to gain that edge in their selling propositions,” said LG Electronics Gulf FZE general manager Greg Eun.

LG HomNet links apartments using a variety of devices and technologies including televisions, Internet and mobile phones and offers a more convenient and safer lifestyle, he said.-TradeArabia News Service
