Moreover, their static nature is problematic; when a card is misplaced, security is at risk until that access point is reprogrammed or the card is found. Additionally, integrating these older systems with newer hotel technologies can be a logistical nightmare.

The future of electronic access control in hospitality looks promising. Advances in biometric access, mobile phone integration, and real-time data analytics mean doors that can be unlocked with a face scan or smartphone, and instant alerts for any security breaches. This not only amplifies security but also offers the guest an enhanced, modern, and convenient experience. Forward thinking companies like AMADEO see these advances as opportunities rather than a risk to the existing traditional model which is why our products are designed to integrate seamlessly with these technologies.
