Salto Space

SALTO Systems and INTEREL, the award-winning hospitality guest room management solution, today announced the integration of SALTO’s BLUEnet technology into INTEREL’s guest room control solutions, using BLE wireless radios to allow hotels to minimize their infrastructure investment, optimize energy consumption, and take advantage of SALTO’s next-generation products.

The new SALTO and INTEREL BLE integration replaces traditional ZigBee with SALTO’s BLUEnet wireless – a future-focused Bluetooth Low Energy technology.

INTEREL is one of the first guest room management solutions to integrate with SALTO’s BLUEnet Wireless Technology. Hotels can now integrate seamlessly with a wide variety of SALTO wireless locks that bring intelligent and dependable automation for guest rooms and operating enhancements that provide the most reliable, cost-effective, and technologically-advanced guest room system. SALTO BLUEnet wireless is designed for doors where real-time control is required and can be installed as an independent system or can complement the SALTO Virtual Network (SVN).

We’re excited to continue to offer technologically-advanced solutions for the hospitality industry with leading guest room management partners like INTEREL. Our newest integration incorporates the most efficient and advanced technology into guest room access control and energy management and is just another example of how SALTO and INTEREL continue to improve product offerings.

The integration provides secure room access control for guests and staff that works in tandem with in-room thermostats and controls to ensure that energy consumption – one of the top expenses for the hospitality industry – is minimized. Guest room management includes features such as controlling the temperature, lighting, curtains, and even requesting hotel services, with the touch of a button.

The integrated solution - which can replace mechanical keys and proximity cards with smartphone-based access control technology - also can alert hotel staff when a room is occupied and can help them to respond quicker to guest requests. Additionally, INTEREL and SALTO deliver these advanced guest features and online access control functionality without additional infrastructure, reducing total cost of ownership for the hotel.

Incorporating mobile access into your premises without jeopardizing security is crucial to maintain safety. Flexibility is also crucial because users may not be using mobile credentials. Being able to mix and match systems, hardware and credentials is a must and is offer by Salto.

Traditionally, check-in process requires going to the front desk, showing ID and providing a credit card for room charges. Once guests are identified and all of their questions are answered, they’re provided with a plastic keycard and pointed towards the elevators or led to their room.

Salto’s Hospitality Solutions and Guest Experience Enhancement

For the Hospitality market, Salto has developed specific add-ons, which allow hotel clients to control all their access, and guest management easily needs with one wire-free, easy-to-use system.

SALTO Systems, a leading manufacturer of electronic access control solutions, will showcase its impressive innovations for hospitality – including the sleek Ælement Fusion electronic lock and the SALTO NEO Cylinder – at the annual Hospitality Industry Technology Expo & Conference (HITEC) held June 18-20, 2019, at the Minneapolis Convention Center.

“From SVN-Flex electronic locking technology to the SALTO NEO Cylinder, SALTO has added to our portfolio of the most technologically-advanced software and hardware products on the market,” said Michael Cline, Vice President-Hospitality at SALTO Systems. “We’re excited to share an incredible lineup of electronic locking solutions perfect for the hospitality industry at this year’s HITEC conference in Minneapolis.”

SALTO’s featured products at HITEC – the world’s largest hospitality technology show – include those that help streamline operations from back-of-house to the front desk to the guest room door, said Cline. SALTO hospitality solutions exist for virtually every touchpoint which can improve the hotel brand and create unique keyless experiences for guests.

The HITEC conference, hosted by Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals (HFTP), provides top-notch hospitality technology education and a tradeshow highlighting the latest products and services. HITEC attendees are encouraged to visit SALTO Booth 2508 to demo a variety of products, including:

• ÆlementFusion – Ælement Fusion is a stylish and powerful electronic lock with a sleek reader accentuated by an interactive light ring that illuminates when access credentials are presented. The Ælement Fusion provides a minimalistic design that blends with any hotel décor and is compatible with RFID, NFC, and Bluetooth technologies that integrate seamlessly with mobile applications including SALTO’s JustIN Mobile App.

• JustIN Mobile App – JustIN Mobile replaces the need for a physical access hotel room card by securely sending a room key Over the Air (OTA) to an iOS or Android device from SALTO’s ProAccess SPACE management software. The guest’s smartphone sends a signal to open the hotel room door’s electronic lock using Bluetooth. Eliminate the need for guests to physically check in or out at the front desk while also streamlining overall hotel operations.

• SVN-Flex – Enhance Guest Experience, Hotel Management & More– Based on SALTO’s BLUEnet wireless technology and in combination with the XS4 2.0 product range, SVN-Flex brings guest and staff credential updating to the ultimate point in access control: the door! This impressive new feature enhances the guest experience, hotel management, security, IT, and maintenance.

What a beautiful location for the HITEC Europe conference this week! The resort city of Palma on the Spanish island of Mallorca served as the backdrop for HITEC, the Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition and Conference, held April 9-11, 2019, at the Palau de Congressos de Palma.

HITEC shows are always a great opportunity for us to share our latest innovative electronic access control solutions to industry experts and connect with our technology partners. Not only are our electronic locks packed with advanced keyless and mobile technology inside, they are visually appealing on the exterior and can complement any hotel decor.

HITEC Europe represents an excellent opportunity to present SALTO’s broad product range that covers every corner of the access control spectrum in a hotel, from back-of-house organisation to guest services doors to guest room management. We know the hospitality industry, and we understand that it is more than just guest room management. This is why we participate in the HITEC Europe Hospitality conference - to share with industry professionals a complete product range especially made for hospitality.

Our Ælement Fusion Euro is the perfect example (and was very popular at HITEC Europe!). This RFID lock allows you to integrate all your physical security needs into one stylish, energy efficient, reliable, wire-free system. The Ælement Fusion Euro’s minimalistic design looks chic and discreet on any door and can be combined with a designer handle (that meets Euro-DIN and ANSI standards) for that polished look. The Ælement Fusion Euro-DIN model incorporates an innovative clutch assembly mechanism that enables a free turn of an outer design handle of a door for a latch assembly of the door lock. This allows the outer handle to rotate to open a door when the door is unlocked and to rotate freely when the door is locked so that the internal mechanism will not be damaged.

Another highlight at HITEC Europe was SALTO’s new SVN-FLex electronic locking technology. SVN-Flex is particularly suited for hospitality because it brings guest and staff credential updating directly to the door. This is extremely beneficial in that it enhances the guest experience, hotel management, security, IT and maintenance. For guests in particular, SVN-Flex provides a better keyless and mobile experience. For hotel management, it provides a safe and convenient environment for guests, visitors and staff by providing the most up-to-date user access information for virtually all doors in a hotel property.

HITEC Europe attendees were also treated to the latest version of SALTO ProAccess SPACE which is the biggest software release ever for SALTO Hospitality. One-hundred percent web-based and mobile capable, with powerful multitasking features, ProAccess SPACE is simple-to-use access control software for managing guest room locks, staff, visitors and doors. It includes functionalities such as mobile keys (BLE & NFC), group check-in, real-time re-rooming and real-time extended stay. These capabilities, plus other key hotel features, make it easy to control all offline and online guest rooms and back-of-house doors from one central location. SALTO ProAccess SPACE permits quick and fast guest check-ins, staff management, and includes advanced features like multiple wandering intruder detections, full HTML5 support, webcam support, improved audit trail filtering/reports and user experience concerning locations/functions in the front-end.

We had a great HITEC Europe and we look forward to seeing participants at the next HITEC event in the United States in Minneapolis, June 17-20.

ITB Berlin - Floor Plan:
HelloGuest, Intrum, BS PAYONE and SALTO Systems at the ITB in Berlin 6 to 10 March 2019 / Hall 8.1 - Booth 107

As Key Account Manager for SALTO Hospitality in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Marta Zubiaurre has a special understanding of the access control hospitality market. Recently, she shared her insight on current and future trends.

What has changed in hotel security in recent years?

Hotel security continues to expand and has become much more comprehensive, particularly as it relates to access control. Managing access to guest rooms remains an important focus as does attention to back-of-house and guest service areas. It’s now essential to provide all-encompassing access control solutions that address the needs of the wide range of applications and operating environments from the most basic guest room door or main entrance to meeting rooms, lockers, datacenters, padlocks for gates, elevator access, emergency exits, pools, spa facilities – the list goes on.

Hotel security has also become about more than just security. It’s now part of the guest experience. The same smartphone application that will let a guest into a hotel room can also be used to check in, check out or plan a future stay.
 

What new technologies and innovations has SALTO introduced into its product line?

SALTO has long focused on the user experience to develop our electronic access control products and technologies, and we’ve developed some exciting new products that offer the future of access control – advanced technology with functionality and style!

One of our most recent innovations, designed especially for the hospitality industry, is the “almost invisible” Ælement Fusion. Ælement Fusion is a stylish and powerful electronic lock with a sleek reader accentuated by an interactive light ring that illuminates when access credentials are presented, providing a minimalistic design that blends with any hotel décor. The Ælement Fusion is compatible with RFID, NFC, and Bluetooth technologies that integrate seamlessly with mobile applications including SALTO’s JustIN Mobile application.
 

How important is mobile access in hospitality?

Mobile access control is the future of hospitality security technology – no matter how big or small the property – because it gives management the ability to quickly make changes, and it reduces costs associated with replacing access cards and keys. Plus, it enhances the guest experience we were just talking about!.

A mobile app like SALTO’s JustIN Mobile permits staff and guests to access a digital key to open any hotel door equipped with an electronic lock. Authorized system administrators can issue or revoke digital keys over-the-air to user smartphones via encrypted data transmission. Each credential is unique to each mobile device, so they cannot be copied or duplicated.

If your hotel or lodging property is in the market for an access control solution, be sure to ask about how the product enhances the guest experience as well as what mobile solutions are offered. Those are two important areas that must be a part of any new access control solution.

A hotel datacenter or server room holds important hotel and guest data that, if breached, can result in expensive information compromise or significant down time. You secure your guest rooms and property with electronic access control – it’s time to protect your datacenter using the same technology.

Many hotels deploy access control to secure the grounds, buildings and areas within the property. The server rack remains the final point of data vulnerability in the datacenter, so it makes sense to implement the same level of physical security and access control monitoring already established at every other level of entry in the property. Salto has a solution that protects your datacenter and servers with the same level of security that safeguards your hotel and guests.

The Salto electronic cylinder lock provides a wire-free, stand-alone electronic access control solution to secure access to server racks in increasingly important and sensitive locations. Compact and easy to install, Salto electronic cylinders are designed for the protection of cabinet doors such as IT racks or lockers and fit almost any type of swing handle server rack on the market. Salto’s electronic cylinder lock provides real-time access control to individual cabinet doors in a single-card system, eliminating mechanical master key problems as there is no need to replace cylinders if a key is lost or stolen.

Protect your cabinets and IT racks with your same hotel’s core technology using Salto’s electronic cylinder

There are multiple regulatory and compliance requirements in many countries that mandate additional layers of responsibility for datacenter managers. In many areas, hotels must limit physical access to information systems, equipment and their respective operating environments only to authorized individuals. SALTO’s electronic cylinder provides this protection and more via these main features and benefits.

Main features and benefits of Salto's electronic cylinder

• Simple installation. Designed to install easily on most swing-handle style server racks..
• Simple to integrate because it works with your new or existing access control system and can be installed on virtually all server cabinets available on the market. No wiring or drilling work required.
• Protection against burglary, theft and sabotage. Server cabinet and audit-trail monitoring for regulatory compliance.
• Access monitoring. Full time and profile management (who has access, where and when). Executing policies and security procedures specific to the datacenter.
• Advanced core technologies: Salto SVN, BLUEnet Wireless network and JustIN Mobile* capable (*NFC compatible smartphones only).
• Real-time access control system and user card updating capable (to control exactly who can access the servers, and when).
• Communication between the carrier, the physical network and the electronic cylinder is encrypted and secured.
• Battery-operated. Low battery status information is obtained from users’ keycards (SVN) or wirelessly (BLUEnet). Batteries can be replaced without cylinder removal.

What is Salto SVN-Flex and how does it works?

Salto’s networked electronic locking SVN-Flex technology brings guest and staff credential updating to the ultimate point in access control: the door! This impressive new feature results in a variety of added benefits for the hospitality sector in particular by enhancing the guest experience, hotel management, security, IT and maintenance.

Based on Salto’s BLUEnet wireless technology and in combination with the Salto Hospitality aesthetic electronic locking product range, SVN-Flex extends and increases the number of updating points directly to any door in the hotel. SVN-Flex functionality can be enabled on any product in the Salto XS4 electronic lock range including guest room doors with the new Salto Ælement Fusion, guest services doors and back-of-house access points.

SVN-Flex is managed via Salto’s ProAccess SPACE front desk management web-based software. It dramatically reduces the cost of installing additional updating points in an access control system yet provides the capability of adding updating points where required. The options for affordable updating points are endless: guest rooms, perimetral doors, emergency exits, hall doors, gates equipped with mechanical cylinders and much more.

• Increases security by having a higher number of doors distribute information about guest and staff access privilege changes, lost key cancellations, updated blacklist information, offline networked hotel property audit records and more.
• Communication between devices flows in real-time on wireless online access points and much faster on offline points. This drastically reduces the time gap in collecting critical information.
• In case of a power failure, the system continues to function due to Salto Virtual Network (SVN) backbone technology. SVN ensures guest access cards and locks remain operational without compromising access.
• Thanks to Salto Wireless BLUEnet technology, guest room door status monitoring, lockdowns, emergency openings, remote openings, intrusion alarms – and more – can be performed at the click of a mouse or can be programmed automatically through a ProAccess SPACE trigger alarm.

Salto SVN and IT

SVN Flex combines the reliability, security and scalability of an on-premises access control solution with the flexibility and availability of stand-alone, networked electronic lock technology.

• Uses stand-alone, battery-operated hotel electronic locks (no door hardwire installation).
• Easy to cross-link stand-alone, wireless locks and online access points and integrate into existing hotel IT networks without consuming IT resources.
• Reliable on-premises access control infrastructure that is designed to adapt and grow as needs grow (up to hundreds of doors with thousands of users).
• Works with every popular smart keycard covering the mainstream RFID technologies.
• Web-based ProAccess SPACE software facilitates set-up, routine use and monitoring, as well as any updating and changing of access rights.
• Unmatched levels of data protection with advanced security and the highest standard encryption communications.
• Works with standard system network requirements.

SVN has easy maintenance

SVN-Flex allows you to manage and secure access control for all hotel properties right from the hotel front-desk.

• Check battery status and door status in just a few easy steps.
• Low set-up cost and maintenance, saving money and time.
• Choose from a broad range of design hardware that enhances any décor from guest room to back of house.
• Efficiently uses the natural movements of guests and staff within and across the individual areas of the hotel to update the door network.
• Remotely administer and manage maintenance operations (like low battery warnings and door status messages), which reduces help desk calls

Adding SVN Flex to a hospitality access control solution results in an exponential increase in security, control, effectiveness and convenience for guests and management. The communication between devices flows in real-time on wireless online access points and much faster on offline points resulting in the most up-to-date system available in the hospitality market for access control.

In addition to the wide variety of SALTO options for hospitality guest and meeting rooms like the sleek Ælement Fusion, the XS4 One DIN electronic escutcheon helps contribute to a comprehensive electronic access control solution for any European hotel, lodging property, cruises, resort and more. The strengths of the XS4 One DIN – including easy installation and the ability to be mounted on a wide variety of doors without wiring, drilling or complicated retrofitting – make it perfect for back-of-house operations where any electronic lock is needed.

Because an installer uses the existing rosette drilling holes, the XS4 One DIN can be used on fire and smoke protection doors without losing fire rating and certification. And doors equipped with the XS4 One DIN can always be opened from the inside and thus comply with EN 179/1125 standards. Thanks to its robust construction, the escutcheon is suitable not only for standard doors but also for high traffic entrance doors, too.

Innovation is at the forefront with the XS4 One DIN which is compatible with MIFARE DESFire EV1 identification technologies and incorporates Bluetooth Smart (BLE) and Near Field Communication (NFC). This collection of technological compatibility enables easy integration of hotel management and staff security needs into a single security credential. Contactless RFID cards and key fobs – as well as smartphones with mobile keys – can all be used to open doors outfitted with the XS4 One DIN.

The XS4 One DIN is fully integrated into SALTO ProAccess SPACE access control management software and therefore works smoothly with the variety of SALTO’s other technology platforms: the patented Data-on-Card SALTO Virtual Network (SVN), the innovative SALTO BLUEnet wireless network and the popular SALTO JustIN Mobile application.

The XS4 One DIN includes electronic "do not disturb" function as well as a mechanical override function. It’s compatible with a wide range of DIN mortise locks and handles, including those from third-party manufacturers. The XS4 One DIN is available in a variety of models: a black or white reader housing with a choice of three finishes including satin stainless steel, polished stainless steel and a BioCote^Ⓡ antimicrobial coating finish.

As is the case with all SALTO products, the XS4 One DIN’s electronic locking technology leverages industry-leading security practices – including advanced encryption – to provide users a secure keyless and mobile experience. For added protection, users’ access plans are updated daily, thanks to SVN.

The SALTO XS4 One DIN is just the latest innovation from SALTO that assists hospitality management in successfully implementing a comprehensive, smooth-running access control solution that exceeds the needs of both guest and back-of-house operations.
