Thing5 Acquires HTS Assets, Expanding Footprint in Full Service and Luxury Segments

Thing5 LLC, the trailblazer in modernizing network services for the hospitality industry announced today the acquisition of assets of HTS, a guest Internet service provider largely focused on full service properties.

The acquisition follows Thing5's recent purchase of hospitality guest Internet service provider, Innflux, and adds to their ever-growing list of hotel customers. Due to HTS' high standards for installation and support, the hotels will enjoy a seamless transition to the Thing5 all in-house support platform. HTS will augment Thing5's hospitality IP phone solution and existing HSIA footprint, predominantly in the full service hotel segment. HTS has over 100 HSIA deployments throughout the US, across all sizes and classes of hotels.

"We are thrilled to add HTS-supported properties to our list of valued clients. HTS has always had a reputation for quality deployments in full service environments - a philosophy that is near and ear to Thing5," commented Bob Post, Thing5 President & CEO. "HTS customers will now enjoy a full suite of telephony and network products combined with industry leading in-house 24x7 support services."

Bill Yung, HTS CEO, commented, "When selecting a partner to care for my valued customers in the way that we always have at HTS, the choice was obvious - Thing5.
