Hotel key cards rely on technologies such as NFC, magnetic stripe, or RFID to encode the information in the card. You can then access stored data through RFID or magnetic readers. Are hotel key cards NFC or RFID?
Hotel key cards are usually an application of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology, which utilizes radio frequencies for data transmission and identification. The hotel key card carries an RFID chip and antenna, which enables functions such as authentication and door unlocking by communicating wirelessly with a card-reading device. This technology is widely used in the hospitality industry as it provides convenient, fast and secure access control solutions.
Similarly, NFC (Near Field Communication) technology is a wireless radio frequency-based communication technology that enables data transmission and interaction over short distances.NFC technology is widely used in areas such as mobile payments and near field communication between mobile devices. Although the functionality of hotel keycards is similar to some aspects of NFC technology, in general, Hotel room key cards are more commonly based on RFID technology rather than NFC technology. This is because RFID technology has a longer communication distance and a wider range of application scenarios to meet the access control needs of hotels.
