Intelligent House

As the COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc across the globe, hotels have turned to

housing first responders and other essential workers. In this socially distant world,

sensors have become more useful than ever. And, as the world begins to recover

from the pandemic and guests begin traveling again—this time, with social

distancing in mind—the practicality of sensor solutions won't abate.

Radar sensors can determine which rooms are occupied—in addition to creating

a better guest experience, this also lets housekeepers know when the room is

safe to enter. In an emergency, sensors can determine if a guest hasn't

evacuated, helping first responders do their job more quickly.

And, unlike sensors that use ultrasonic or other technologies, mmWave

radar sensors can be installed behind the ceiling or walls, improving

aesthetics in the room.

The biggest benefits for hoteliers, sensors can help to automate tasks and

building functions like surveillance and security, crowd and visitor traffic

management, as well as lighting and HVAC control. Radar can also be

deployed in hotel rooms and restrooms to monitor usage for

maintenance purposes as well as for incident detection like falls.
