Anangran set to deliver HD to Dubai's Movenpick Hotel

Hotels that show off HD are nothing new, but in nothing-but-the-best Dubai, you just know that the dial has to get turned to 11. Guests at the 7-star (seriously) Movenpick Hotel in Dubai demand custom-tailored HD, and that's exactly what Anangran intends to deliver by deploying its FR-1000 Flow Manager devices. Five of the wonderboxes will serve up pristine HD and VOIP at up to 10Gb/s, customized to each guest's preferences. And if there's nothing good on, we're thinking guests can just look out the window at the Podium display.

So-called 7-star hotels aren't exactly new ground, at least in Dubai. The Burj Al Arab (the ship-looking hotel that opened near the turn of the millenium) claims to be the first 7-star hotel.

Note the company name is "Anagran" with just two "n"s, not "Anangran" (a typo).
