smartbox technology
The smartbox is a flexible satellite television platform targeted at hotels and hospitality operations that improves the in-room entertainment experience for guests and reduces the total cost of ownership for operators.
The technology packed inside smartbox is why it's revolutionary. What used to need an entire room is now housed within a box slightly bigger than a microwave - and it's smaller than any other product of its kind, smartbox is also loaded with savings - cost, space and energy - never seen before in the industry.

"Wanted to inform you that our cutout testing was accomplished on all four buildings with excellent results. The DISH Smartbox signal was significantly improved over the Comcast quality, so quite pleased here with our decision. I also wanted to mention the work done by Jeremy Strickland to get us to this point, he has been exceptional! Both competent and professional and was familiar with Hospital environments. Definitely on your 'A' Team."
