RFID Key Cards: Paving The Way For Better Security

By Brenda Warner


For many businesses security is important, not only for their employees but customers as well. Hotels rely on good security for their guests so they may feel comfortable during their stay. This is why their is a new lock technology sweeping across the business and hospitality industry. The use of RFID key cards is fast becoming the standard in locking systems.

RFID or radio frequency identification is on the rise among hotel chains and other business types that employ this technology. It is unlike magnetic strip or computer chip cards which are slowly becoming obsolete. RFID locking systems have many advantages over their predecessors.

They offer more security at a fraction of the cost. Hotels that are transitioning to this modern wonder are experiencing cost savings that would have been unknown to them had this not been developed. The system uses radio frequencies to communicate with the locking device and the card key only has to be in proximity to it, not touching it. There is no swipe or insertion of any card in order to operate the lock.

RFID technology features a locking system that is keyless and does not require physical contact with the lock itself. The card only has to be place within proximity of the locking device and the radio frequency that controls the lock will open it. Since it does not require being place in the lock to open, this reduces wear and tear on the card keys, thereby saving the business or hotel money in replacement costs.

Many hotel guests are amazed at this latest technology and feel privileged to use it. It gives them a sense of security knowing their personal effects are safe in their rooms from unlawful entry. Many customers of hotels that utilize this technology become repeat customers.

Many businesses and hotels are in the process of updating their locking systems to RFID technology. This method is quickly becoming a standard among the industry. Many are now employing this technology in the workplace, in factories, warehouses, and government buildings as well as hotels. It is the best system of keyless entry on the market today.

Not only does this device save money, but it will also save costs in repair and maintenance. Since the locks are not touched by human hands or exposed to dust or dirt that can get inside the mechanism and ruin it, the cost of replacing locks or keys is minimal. This also saves time as a business can use their maintenance department for other more pertinent issues within the business.

As more locking systems become obsolete in favor of RFID technology, business and society will reap the benefits of a more secure world compared to the past. However, technology is always changing and developing bigger and better things. Who knows what the future of security will be, but for now, RFID is catching fire and providing more security than in the past. This technology makes our world a better place to live and work.
