Streamlined Smart TV Cables

The InnCable Allows Hotels to Easily Upgrade to Smart TV Functionality

— June 28, 2017 — Tech
Televisions have gotten progressively smaller in recent decades, from massive box-shaped contraptions down to tablet-sized ones, and now Swedish company InnSpire is making television upgrades even more compact with the introduction of the InnCable, essentially a smart TV cable.

The InnCable is an Ethernet cable on the outside, and an Android set-top box on the inside. This device is equipped with an Ethernet jack on one end and an HDMI connection on the other, with an included WiFi module making it possible for it to convert old-school television sets into smart TVs.

This compact smart TV cable is aimed squarely at the hospitality industry, as it promises hotels the ability to upgrade their televisions to better satisfy the needs of tech-savvy guests, and with minimal hassle.
Trend Themes
1. Compact Smart TV Cables - The technology trend of creating smaller smart TV upgrade options for televisions with no streaming capabilities.
2. Innovative Ethernet Technology - The trend of combining Ethernet cables with other technologies, like Android set-top boxes, to create multi-functional devices.
3. Hospitality Upgrades - The trend of creating technology solutions specifically for the hospitality industry, like smart TV upgrades provided by the InnCable.
Industry Implications
1. Hospitality - The hospitality industry can use this technology innovation by providing the InnCable to their guests to offer the best viewing experience possible.
2. Technology - Technology companies can take advantage of the trend towards minimizing cable clutter and creating compact, multifunctional devices, like the InnCable.
3. Entertainment - The entertainment industry can use the InnCable to easily upgrade old TVs and expand their audience base with readily available streaming capabilities.
