CadaSystems launches RFID-enabled hotel door locks

CadaSystems, the manufacturer of access control products, has introduced an RFID door lock system designed to allow hoteliers to integrate personal safety needs into a single, free-line system.

This AElement system can be used to control the security of the entire hotel, grant access to individual rooms, and collect audit trail data for each door from the front desk. According to CadaSystems, the AElement system uses a 2.4GHz wireless network on the 802.15.4 protocol, along with mainstream RFID technologies (such as MIFARE and DESFire - the latest versions of MIFAREPlus and DESFireEV1) and standard low-cost hotel guests. Card compatible.

The AElement door lock is designed to be wireless, but the hotel can choose whether its function is activated. If the hotel chooses "wireless communication online", the door locks are networked and communicate with the server in real time. If the customer chooses "wireless ready", the door lock maintains a mode of communicating with the server at different times of the day. The wireless ready door lock can be switched to the "wireless communication online" mode at any time by simply plugging in a USB-sized RF communication antenna. The backbone of the AElement system is a series of gateways and repeaters that act as antennas to collect information from the computer server and send the information directly to the wireless door lock. A gateway can manage multiple electronic door locks and repeaters to minimize infrastructure costs and increase flexibility.

AElement also features a range of management features including instant space movement, instant extended stay and lost card cancellation, intrusion alarms, door half-mask alarms, remote open, real-time audit trails, activation of conference room channel mode and automatic low Electricity report. For staff management, it provides online employee tracking, real-time monitoring, dynamic ********* functionality and instant master card cancellation. All primary cards are held by the sole holder, and the staff card can be programmed to not work at night or cancel immediately at the center. In addition, changes to the door lock schedule can be generated on-the-fly without the need to manually reprogram the door lock or resend the card.

According to CadaSystems, its electronic door lock and access control system has been used by 4,000 customers, including Oxford University in the university, T-Mobile in the company, and hotels and health centers.
