RFID Key Cards: Paving The Way For Better Security

By Brenda Warner


In business, its all about security, not only for asset protection, but for customers as well. The many advances in our world have taken us on a path to greatness. The latest technology proves that it is moving fast and recent developments prove it. Now, businesses can enjoy greater security by using RFID key cards to ensure that their buildings are secure, and their customers as well as employees are safe.

RFID stands for radio frequency identification. This type of technology is different from the magnetic stripe key cards and computer chip cards on the market, they are quickly fading in the background in the wake of RFID technology. The advantages of using the newer locking system are many.

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.

RFID technology features a locking system that is keyless and does not require physical contact with the lock itself. The card only has to be place within proximity of the locking device and the radio frequency that controls the lock will open it. Since it does not require being place in the lock to open, this reduces wear and tear on the card keys, thereby saving the business or hotel money in replacement costs.

Those who enjoy staying at hotels on their vacations or business can feel certain that their room is secure when they leave. It gives a certain confidence in the hotel chain that provides this service, and the keyless entry often creates repeat business as the customers return again and again. The uniqueness of the keyless entry is a wonder to hotel guests who seem to like using the latest technology.

As more and more businesses like hotels upgrade their locking systems, they are turning to RFID technologies. Pretty soon, this will be the standard among many hotel chains. Right now, as this system is gaining acceptance, not only for the financial benefit but for the betterment of security within a business, many will find that it just may be the only solution to keyless entry.

Not only to businesses save money, maintenance is reduced as well. There is no need to replace locks or card keys due to malfunctions. This saves time since maintenance is not tied up changing locks or dealing with card keys not working. Their services can be used elsewhere within the business that requires more attention.

Technology is always progressing toward better and more refined ways of doing things. As society and business quickly adapt to newer technologies, there is always something better that comes along to replace the standard methods. As a business grows and develops over time, RFID technology is paving the way for more security on a budget, and this spells profits for businesses everywhere.
