EVOLVE offers guests a more intuitive way to engage with content from their mobile devices using their room’s TV.

Powered by SMARTBOX, EVOLVE is designed to work with any hotel wiring scenario, as well as existing or upgraded infrastructures. It supports video delivery over QAM or IP, and internet connectivity over DOCSIS, Ethernet or Wi-Fi (2.4/5GHz).
