Locking

The 2009 International Hotel/Motel & Restaurant Show, held November 7-10 at New York City's Jacob K. Javits Center, offers attendees a glimpse at some of the latest hospitality technology releases to come to market. Couldn't make it to the show? HT offers this round-up of some of the biggest show announcements.

The interaction between the two solutions enables the guest to securely receive his or her room number and room key via cell phone, thereby streamlining the check-in and check-out process by allowing the guest to bypass the front desk.

theWit is the first property to deploy an interface that processes information in real-time from the SAFLOK locks to MTech's hotel service optimization system HotSOS using SAFLOK's Messenger LENS (Lock Event Notification System).

Through this partnership, the lock maintains a key role in communicating access information to the in-room coordinators, which in turn determine how the in-room appliances such as lamps, thermostats, or the TV will respond.

VISIONLINE by VingCard was introduced and commercialized to the market in 2006 as one of the first wireless online systems based on ZigBee technology, a secured wireless open platform.

China's Kingkey Palace Hotel in Shenzhen recently installed Classic by VingCard, a standalone electronic locking solution that is controlled by software existing in individual locks and activated by cards coded in the issuing computer.

The Doubletree Dallas/Richardson modernizes its security system with a wireless RF-online system and contactless RFID electronic locking solutions from VingCard.

Built on a robust IP backbone that's engineered to run whatever technology the innovation community can throw at it, the theWit Hotel's executive team is free to carry out their true vision of creating an immersive experience that oozes culture and entertainment. Developer Scott Greenberg and branding and technology executives Lou Carrier and Darrin Pinkham, give HT the inside story on the technology, the culture and the vision that is theWit Hotel.
