Lose your hotel room key, ever? It can be really frustrating! Or perhaps you stepped out of your room with your key in the room and needed to request a new one from the front desk. That can be a hassle too! For your stay in hotels to be easier and safer, many hotels now have introduced a special technology that is RFID wristbands. These wristbands are revolutionizing our hotel stays and how we enjoy our vacations.
RFID just means radio-frequency identification. That may sound complicated, but it’s simply a means to use radio waves to transmit information between two items. Here, one thing is the wristband you wear on your arm, and the other thing is the lock on your hotel-room door. “Those waves communicate with the door lock, so it’s really easy to get into your room,”
Back in the day, before RFID wristbands, hotels provided traditional keys or keycards that you needed to swipe to unlock your room door. Guests sometimes would lose their keys or forget to return them as they left the hotel. When that happened, the hotel had to create new keys, which was a chore for everyone involved. Also, if somebody found a lost key, they could use it to enter a guest’s room, and that was simply not secure at all.
Now with the help of RFID wristbands, guests don’t have to worry about losing keys or forgetting them somewhere. The wristband is always on your wrist, and as long as you’re wearing it, you can access your room anytime you want. It also makes it exponentially more difficult for someone else to penetrate your space. With the wristband, only the person wearing it can unlock the door, making it a way safer option for all guests staying at the hotel.
Secondly, RFID wristbands are more secure than conventional keys. And they make it really difficult to allow someone else to get into your room." This is especially important in hotels that are constantly trading with many different guests. Having the peace of mind that your room is secure makes you more comfortable throughout your stay.
To keep the experience consistent, RFID wristbands can be used in other parts of the hotel like the pool or gym. To get in, guests simply scan their wristband, so they don’t have to tote extra keys or cards. This makes your stay even more convenient, as you can enjoy everything the hotel has to offer without worry.
RFID wristbands are being increasingly used in hotels across the world, and there are a number of compelling reasons for this. They’re convenient, secure, and they save hotels money, too. Not to mention, since these wristbands are customizable, the hotels can come up with different designs for most guests, making their stay even more special and personalized.
