TeleAdapt Ltd. is a private, multinational company that sells products such as Ethernet connectors, audio/video connectivity devices and power adapters to the hospitality industry. According to the company website, their guestroom connectivity solutions can now be found in over two million hotel rooms worldwide.[1]
Organisational background
TeleAdapt was founded in 1992 by Gordon Brown. The name TeleAdapt is a portmanteau of telephone and adapter, as the company started by providing telephone adapters to business travellers. According to Brown, he was inspired to start the company after spotting a gap in the telecommunications market, and subsequently compiled the first complete list of foreign telephone plugs.
The company's headquarters have been located in Watford in Hertfordshire, since 2006. Six months after TeleAdapt's foundation, the company opened its first foreign office in America, and six months later opened another office in Australia. In 1993, TeleAdapt opened its third overseas office in Hong Kong, which was also the first of their sites where English was not the official language. In 2003 the Dubai office was opened and TeleAdapt now has bases in the United States, Hong Kong, China, UAE, Korea and Singapore.
