Turn any hotel lock into a phone key, with a sticker.
NeuroTEL's retrofit sticker converts your existing RFID locks to secure mobile entry with Apple and Google Wallet. Peel-and-stick install in seconds per door. No lock replacement, no rewiring, no construction. Intelligent energy savings on the same platform come next.
Stuck between plastic keycards and a full rebuild.
Independent hotels deserve the same smart technology that luxury chains take for granted, without the six-figure price tag or the six-month installation window.
Guests want their phone.
Industry data shows two-thirds of travelers want their phone as the room key, and 83% rate mobile key as highly important. Plastic cards get lost, demagnetized, duplicated, and reissued.
Going mobile meant ripping out locks.
Until now, offering mobile key meant replacing every lock or rewiring the building: capex and construction most independent hotels can't justify.
Standing still has a cost.
Older properties lose bookings to newer hotels and keep paying to heat, cool, and light empty rooms.
One sticker. Your existing lock.
The sticker mounts on the lock you already own and speaks its language. No replacement, no rewiring.
Tap
The guest holds their phone to the sticker on the door, using an Apple or Google Wallet credential.
Translate
The sticker's chip converts the phone's NFC into the lock's own 125 kHz RFID signal.
Open
The existing lock reads its native signal and opens. The lock never knows anything changed.
Sync
A per-floor hub streams access events to the cloud dashboard in real time.
Install per door: peel, stick, pair. Seconds, not construction.
Access today. Energy next.
One platform for independent hotels and regional chains, starting with the sticker that works today. Honest status on every component.
EntryBridge
NFC→RFID retrofit: the phone opens the existing lock. 5–7 year battery life, no wiring, and it works with the locks you already own.
- 5–7 year battery, no wiring
- Peel-and-stick install in seconds
- Works with existing locks
Cloud Dashboard + Hub
Every device, occupancy, and access event in one place. Access events are encrypted and logged with timestamps. Designed to integrate with the PMS you already run, including Oracle OPERA.
- Real-time access events
- Encrypted, timestamped logs
- PMS integration, incl. Oracle OPERA
EcoSense
You are heating empty rooms.
A card in the room's power slot with BLE distance sensing. It physically cuts power when the room is empty, immune to the 'business card in the slot' trick.
- BLE presence sensing
- Physical power cutoff
- Defeats the dummy-card trick
Hotel AI Agents
As the platform grows, we plan to explore AI assistance for hotel operations, built on the same access and occupancy data.
- On the roadmap
- Built on the same platform
- Shaped with pilot partners
Cheap to install. Easy to say yes to.
A retrofit sticker costs ~$30 per door. Replacing a lock costs $50–$500 per door. Slide to see what that means for your property, plus a SaaS subscription per room/month with pricing finalized with our pilot partners.
And then there's energy. Industry data suggests 30–40% of room energy is wasted on empty rooms. EcoSense, next on the platform, is designed to recover it. Modeled estimate based on industry data, pre-pilot. Our first pilots will publish measured results.
