Smart-Phone Applications To Unlock Rooms In Hotels

Now you easily get into your Hotel room just by smart-phone application that automatically unlocks the door when you are closer to your room. 

This new lock system is connected via Bluetooth to an iOS or Android application. The benefits of this application are immense and very soon will replace Key Cards and could actually prove secure and convenient if properly implemented . The risk of loosing a key is now at the verge of extinction . 

Unlock Hotel Room Doors by Smart Phone based Applications

We can already check in and out via application at hundreds of Hotels But , actually activating the door lock requires significant changes to lock themselves. A wireless receiver on the door is activated via Bluetooth on the guest's phone and the lock is unlocked through a button. The receivers are battery powered and informs Hotel staff when their power reservation goes low. 

This can be made more fool proof by having the guests download the key into the application only when they are on premise. 

But, its not without it risks. Naturally , a wireless online system like this opens the doors to new type of attacks. Things might get complicated, depending on whether the application is secure and easy to use or not.
