NEWARK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Panasonic System Communications Company of North America, Division of Panasonic Corporation of North America, today announced its Series of Hospitality Solutions, a set of scalable, cost-effective unified communications solutions designed to support the specific needs of the hospitality industry. Leveraging MTS’ Property Management System interface (PMSi) technology, Panasonic is helping hospitality industry professionals improve staff productivity, save on costs and enhance guest experiences. In addition to these benefits, the new offering can fully integrate with existing property management system (PMS) software.

Panasonic’s Series of Hospitality Solutions enable hotel staff and event service providers to seamlessly integrate all hotel and connected third party systems into a single, unified interface.

The solution set is made up of four components: Panasonic KX-NS Communications Systems, Panasonic DECT Wireless Handsets, Panasonic Media Relay Gateway and a PMSi powered by MTS to improve business efficiency and automation. The KX-NS Communications Systems offer built-in unified messaging and auto attendant options to improve call flow efficiency and customer service and scale based on need to reduce costs and offer flexibility. The DECT Wireless Handsets and Media Relay Gateway enable seamless call hand-over throughout a facility without transmission interruption, ensuring employees can be reached while remote and offering back office communication support for seamless operations.
