25 Years - Unlike any other
Keyless Entry System
How it works
A guest arrives at your Hotel and
proceeds to the reception counter, the hotel assistant inserts a
room card into the guest activation reader sitting on the bench and
enters their name, room number and length of stay, the assistant
may also enter special access to other parts of the hotel
facilities if required (i.e.: car park, business centre, conference
rooms etc). The guest is escorted to their allocated room and
presents their card approximately 10cm above the door lever handle,
the green light will flash and a distinct click will be heard
indicating that access is granted. A courtesy light will illuminate
the entry upon opening the door, the guest will then insert their
card into the slot of the stylish fascia plate adjacent to the door
to command the power management control for the room to turn on a
light scene including the heating, cooling and ventilation
system.
If the guest does not wish to be disturbed they will simply
press the appropriate button on the stylish fascia plate, a status
of their request is illuminated on the outside of their door, in
turn their may wish to have house keeping service their room by
pressing the adjacent button, this request will be communicated by
Wi-Fi to the front desk as well as illuminate on the outside of
their door.
System description
The freeing up of the wired communication loop and the
replacement of never ending batteries means that you can now afford
to centrally manage and monitor all hotel room entry doors to
enhance your security and reduce your liability.
The system is designed to accommodate 64,000 guests per server
with a maximum of 8 servers per system.
The Orion system takes the best of both worlds for the
hospitality industry.
The old time and tested way in access control systems has always
been to wire the cards readers and locks to a door controller to
insure the integrity of the security is not compromised.
The new technological way has introduced wireless communication
to send and receive information via radio frequency waves.
The birth of the Orion system has combined the old with the new
in a way of localizing the wired structure to maintain
uninterrupted power for extremely long duration and the use of
encrypted radio frequency waves to communicate with the door
controller.
By localizing the wired structure in its simplest form by the
way of a cable loom plug and play system to the door frame (DRM)
and the occupant present device (RSM), this innovated method
continually supplies power to these modules.
The communication to these modules including the door controller
(RCU) is with encrypted radio frequency wave (RF) brings together
numerus hotel door entry control to a central server via a network
of floor/area controllers allowing computer management and system
maintenance of the localized wired supplied power and RF
communication.
System components
Door Reader Module (DRM)
This module provides the RFID MiFare reader, the Wi-Fi
connectivity, the guest request/status lights and the electric
mortise lock.
The electric mortise lock is fail secure with dead latch pin and
a key cylinder override, it have built in power transfer pins and
is able to monitor door status.
Room Service Module (RSM)
The stylish polished brass fascia plate is the energy management
control of the hotel room, when the module sensors that the room is
occupied by a valid guest it allows power. The guest my also
request the room to be serviced or not to be disturbed.
Room Control Unit (RCU)
A combination of supplying uninterrupted power and Wi-Fi
communication is integrated into the Hotel room devices and also
communicate to the floor/area controller via Wi-Fi and networked to
the central server. A courtesy light may also be interface upon
entry to allow the guest sufficient time to activate the RSM.
Floor/Area Controller
This device can be seen as a master controller that navigates
the Wi-Fi traffic from the Hotel rooms and the network's
server.
Server
The storage of the database is kept on the Linux server it
fulfils requests from the floor/area controllers; it maintains the
guest register and monitors the Hotel room status in real time.
Guest Register
A desktop or notebook computer maybe network to the server to
manage the activation process of guests or it may interface to the
Hotel booking system. It also manages the system and displays the
current events and past events, it allows the control of the Hotel
entry doors.
Guest Activation reader
This reader is connected to the server, it primary function is
to active the MiFare card for the guest associated to the Hotel
room.
