Onity has announced the launch of its latest contactless locking solution for the hospitality industry, the HT RFID lock. The new lock will allow customers to quickly and easily upgrade their traditional magnetic stripe technology to contactless card based access systems, says Onity.
Laird Hamberlin, President of Onity, comments: “In response to customer demand, we have developed the HT RFID lock that requires no physical contact between the card and the reader, which allows added convenience and quick access for the safety and security of the hotel guest.”
According to Onity, the HT RFID lock can accept multiple credentials such as wristbands and key chains, and features a simple plug and play upgrade function as well as a stand-alone installation capability.
Onity will unveil its HT RFID lock this week at the Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition & Conference (HITEC) in Austin, TX, June 21-23. ![[end]](/resources/bullet/contactlessnews-4.gif)
Sounds like a great system. I wonder if hotel owners will go for systems that use a more expensive plastic cards.Customers walk off with hotel key cards all the time.I would rather have a 9¢ mag stripe card walk out the door instead of 50-60¢ RFID card. Over time that can really ad up.
