What to do if guests do not have internet?

My accommodation is in a hard-to-reach zone, what can I do?

Does Vikey integrate with the smart automation system of my hotel?
Airekey technology can be perfectly integrated with pre-existing smart automation locks or with already electrified doors. Just connect the Airekey devices to the latter to have the remote opening, without necessarily having to change the locks or make invasive interventions.



How can Airekey help me to optimize the hospitality in my hotel?
Airekey can lighten the work of the reception by automating the handling of paperwork and the sale of extra services through the online check-in service (Airekey Digital) and can make any hotel smart by having an opening service from the web app h24 through smart automation devices (Airekey Smart).




Is Airekey's smart automation system also suitable for non-tech people?
