HOTEL
KEYS!

2. FACT
#1
Nowadays,
travel
is
becoming
a
completely
mobile
experience.

3. Mobile
devices
that
are
always
by
our
sides
when
we’re
on
the
move
and
increasing
number
of
travelers
who
expect
unique
travel
experiences,
is
what
is
driving
growth
in
the
travel
industry.
FACT
#2

4. But
searching
for
the
informaNon,
booking,
planning
and
raNng
their
trips
aren’t
the
only
things
that
travelers
use
their
mobile
devices
for.

5. Hoteliers
could
relieve
travelers'
technical
experiences.
One
of
them
is
locking
and
unlocking
the
hotel
room.

6. Keyless
guestroom
entry
systems
replace
plasNc
hotel
keycards
with
a
guest’s
mobile
device,
which
is
more
convenient
and
even
more
secure.

7. How
does
it
work?

8. Guests
can
install
an
app
on
their
phone
and
on
their
arrival
day
an
encrypted
code
is
sent
to
their
phone
via
a
push
noNficaNon,
along
with
a
message
telling
them
which
room
number
they’ll
be
staying
in.
Then
it
is
simple
–
the
guests
just
hold
their
phone
near
your
hotel
room
door
and
it
unlocks.

9. Beyond
the
fact
that
all
the
locks
in
the
hotel
will
need
an
upgrade,
the
considerable
learning
curve
and
transiNon
for
many
travelers
including
those
who
don’t
yet
use
or
own
a
smartphone,
there
are
many
advantages
of
this
innovaNon.

10. It’s
much
harder
to
lose
a
smartphone.
ADVANTAGE
#1

11. A
smartphone
can’t
be
demagneNzed
by
other
things
in
the
guest’s
pocket,
and
it
doesn’t
demagneNze
their
other
cards.
ADVANTAGE
#2

12. Guests
can
skip
check-­‐in
completely
and
go
straight
to
their
hotel
room,
and
they
can
skip
the
check-­‐out,
too.
ADVANTAGE
#3

13. The
end
of
panicking
when
keys
are
lost!
ADVANTAGE
#4

14. Some
open
quesNons
sNll
linger…

15. Smartphone
baZery
life
is
one,
and
another
is
how
guests
would
handle
mulNple
people
sharing
the
same
room,
which
is
allowed
with
home
usage
mobile
locking
the
door.

16. And
security?

17. A
mobile
keyless
soluNon
is
even
more
secure
than
standard
hotel
keycards
with
magneNc
stripes,
as
the
encrypNon
and
security
standards
are
much
higher
in
mobile
technology.

18. And
how
about
combining
both
sides
of
travel
mobile
usage,
travel
planning
and
improving
technical
experiences?

19. It’s
Nme
for
all-­‐inclusive
mobile
soluNons
and
unique
travel
experiences.

20. Deliver
a
guest
experience
that
lasts
beyond
the
journey.
