PDC's Smart Band RFID Wristband System Enhances the Guest Experience at Great Wolf Lodge in California

PDC announced today the installation of its Smart Band RFID Wristband System at Great Wolf Lodge® Southern California, the brand's newest property located in Garden Grove, for electronic access control and cashless payments. The indoor waterpark resort is the latest of nine Great Wolf Lodge resorts to introduce PDC's RFID wristband technology.

Designed to streamline guest transactions, Smart Band replaces traditional forms of payment and access credentials that are usually carried in a wallet, purse, or pocket. Upon check in, Great Wolf Lodge guests are issued a non-transferable, waterproof PDC Smart Band, with a securely sealed RFID chip inside that safely collects and transfers data when scanned by a reader in the park. Each chip is programmed with a unique alpha-numeric code that is assigned to a guest portfolio, so the bands are impossible to duplicate.

For hotel room access, Smart Band's contactless interface provides significant advantages over standard magnetic stripe key card door locks, which can collect dirt and debris that impact performance. Since Smart Band is safely fastened around the wrist; guests no longer hassle with forgotten, lost, or misplaced key cards.
