COAX in the room
The outlet in the room is already there. This very infrastructure becomes the basis for modern IP services.
For hotels with existing coax cabling
IP over COAX
Modern IP infrastructure without new LAN cabling
Use your existing coax cabling as a smart foundation for IPTV, Casting/BYOD, Digital Signage and a digital Guest Journey — with less construction work, faster implementation and a compelling technology approach.
✓Ideal for hotels that want to modernise in-room technology without blocking entire floors for long periods due to a complete new LAN installation.

The problem is rarely the TV. It is the infrastructure.
Modern hotel rooms need an IP connection exactly where often only coax is available today: behind the TV.
Starting point in the hotel
For IPTV, Casting/BYOD, digital guest information and interactive services, a modern IP infrastructure in the room is required. A complete new LAN installation, however, often means construction work, noise, dust, rooms out of service and high investment costs.
Approach: use the existing COAX
With IP over COAX, the existing coax cabling becomes an IP infrastructure. This makes it possible to implement modern TV and guest services without installing new LAN cables all the way to the room.
From existing COAX to a modern Guest Journey

Active step 1 of 5
COAX in the room
The existing coax outlet in the room is the starting point for the upgrade.
IP over COAX hardware
The right hardware converts the existing coax connection into a modern IP infrastructure.
Network / Router
In the technical room, the solution is neatly integrated into the existing network infrastructure.
IPTV, Casting and more
The new IP foundation enables IPTV, BYOD/Casting, signage and digital hotel services.
Satisfied guests
The result is a more modern guest experience with better entertainment, information and a digital Guest Journey.
Why IP over COAX matters for hotels
Especially relevant for upgrades, renovations, hotels in operation, or whenever installing new LAN cables to the rooms would be too complex.
Fast and efficient
Modernisation in a short timeframe, depending on the existing infrastructure, building structure and measurement results.
Use the existing infrastructure
The existing coax cabling is reused intelligently for modern IP services.
Less construction work
No new LAN cabling to the room, less noise, less dust and fewer floor closures.
Ready for IPTV and casting
The foundation for IPTV, Casting/BYOD, digital guest information and other premium services.
Economic advantage
Significantly less installation effort than with a conventional new LAN installation.
Hotel operations preserved
Planning can be adapted to occupancy, room availability and a phased implementation.
Cost example for 100 rooms
The financial difference becomes clear immediately.
Where coax cabling already exists, IP over COAX can be a much leaner alternative to a complete new LAN installation.

Total investment
CHF 22'500
Example: 100 rooms, with existing coax cabling.
IP over COAX hardwareCHF 14'000
Installation and commissioningCHF 8'500
Total IP over COAXCHF 22'500
Investment comparison
IP over COAXCHF 22'500
New LAN cablingapprox. CHF 60'000 to 80'000
Possible differenceCHF 37'500 to 57'500
New LAN cablingDust, noise and possible closure of floors or the entire property
Proportional calculation based on the planning assumption: 100 rooms = CHF 22'500 for IP over COAX; new LAN cabling approx. CHF 60'000–80'000.
Final implementation depends on COAX quality, distribution structure, measurement results and hotel operations.
