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.

One of the primary advantages is that it offers greater security to hotel guests and others in business that need to make sure that their premises are safe and secure from illegal entry. This system uses radio frequency identification to lock and unlock doors or other mechanisms. The card is programmed to control the locking system when it is placed in proximity to it. There is no need to swipe or place the card within the locking system itself, it just has to be near it to read it.

If the frequency matches the card, the door will unlock, if it does not match, the door remains secure. In this way with keyless entry such as this, the card never has to be swiped or read by coming into physical contact with the lock which saves on having to replace cards due to it being unreadable such as with the magnetic strip or computer chip.

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 industries are in the process of upgrading their lock systems to RFID technology. This is quickly becoming the norm among hotels and other types of business that require a higher level of security. It is also quickly gaining acceptance due to the positive impact it has on profits. This may very well be the answer to keyless entry.

Businesses are benefiting in a big way as they use this method to save money, time and maintenance costs. There is very little maintenance with keyless entry because the locks are not touched with human hands or by any standard keyed entry method. In this way, a company can save money, and the cost of replacing locks becomes obsolete.

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.
