- What to confirm: Confirm target application, compatibility requirements, customization needs, quantity, and sample expectations before quoting Be-Tech Hotel Key Cards — Compatibility Guide.

## FAQ
- Q: How do I identify the Be-Tech lock series before ordering cards?
  A: Three indicators usually settle it: the visible model badge or branding on the lock face (GUARDIAN typically has a distinct badge; BASE / SHADOW / VISUAL are similar enough that the lock-body geometry helps — BASE is slim, SHADOW is boxier, VISUAL has an LCD readout), the BIS HOTEL software's lock-class registration at the front desk, and the encoder reading off any current guest card sample. If all three are unclear, send a current guest card sample to the supplier for an inspection read before committing to a production chip.
- Q: Does Be-Tech support MIFARE Plus or MIFARE DESFire cards?
  A: Not according to Be-Tech's English-language product pages as of May 2026. The visible material consistently specifies MIFARE Classic 1K over ISO/IEC 14443A as the native credential across BASE, SHADOW, VISUAL and GUARDIAN. Properties needing AES-128 authenticated sessions (MIFARE DESFire EV2 / EV3) should get written confirmation from Be-Tech sales that the specific lock model accepts DESFire before ordering DESFire stock. The Crypto-1 cipher used in MIFARE Classic is broken industry-wide; high-value access zones should evaluate this risk regardless of vendor.
- Q: What are the 11 free sectors of the Be-Tech MIFARE Classic 1K card?
  A: Be-Tech's documented model uses five sectors of the MIFARE Classic 1K card for hotel operation (including sector 0 — the manufacturer block — and the BIS HOTEL access-control sectors) and exposes eleven sectors as free for the property to use. The free sectors are commonly allocated to All-in-One applications: loyalty programmes, in-room POS, vending integration, fitness/spa amenity-zone access, parking access. Document sector allocation in a card data map before approving an All-in-One programme to avoid third-party applications writing to sectors Be-Tech reserves.
- Q: Does Be-Tech have any public security disclosures or CVEs?
  A: As of May 2026, the NIST National Vulnerability Database and cve.org have no public CVE entries for Be-Tech. Be-Tech also markets a specific anti-hacker safeguard — "anti-hacker technology does not allow re-programming of FLASH RAM lock memory from the outside escutcheon" — which addresses the historical Onity HT-series style attack class. That is a favourable trust signal, but the underlying MIFARE Classic Crypto-1 cipher remains broken industry-wide. New estates should still apply standard procurement diligence and consider whether high-value access zones need a chip family with AES-128 authenticated sessions.
- Q: What PMS systems are integrated with Be-Tech BIS HOTEL?
  A: Be-Tech does not publish a public certified-partner program for Oracle OHIP, Mews, Apaleo or other major PMS platforms in its English material. In practice, Be-Tech estates integrate via Be-Tech's generic outbound room-key interface — the specifics are negotiated per project. Be-Tech has stronger published integration with regional Chinese, APAC and Middle Eastern PMS platforms aimed at the budget-hotel segment. Get the actual PMS connector and its current version documented in writing before any rollout.
- Q: Does Be-Tech support Apple Wallet or Google Wallet keys?
  A: Not natively as of May 2026 based on the publicly available English material. Be-Tech publishes a first-party Mobile Key BLE Android app (`com.betech.mkey`) and supports BLE add-on modules on VISUAL II and select GUARDIAN locks. iOS availability of the Mobile Key app is not confirmed in EN sources. Properties needing wallet keys should confirm directly with Be-Tech; this is a gap versus Saflok / VingCard / SALTO.
- Q: Will premium-material cards (1.0 mm wood or bamboo) read reliably on Be-Tech?
  A: On GUARDIAN and VISUAL reader heads they may read reliably, but Be-Tech's antenna tolerance is less publicly documented than the major brands' specs. Pilot a production-thickness sample on the actual lock model and mortise variant before approving any premium-material card SKU. Be-Tech's price-led positioning means many properties prefer standard 0.76 mm PVC for cost-control reasons in any case.
- Q: Is Be-Tech a sensible choice for a new hotel build versus Saflok / SALTO / VingCard?
  A: Be-Tech is positioned for budget and mid-market hotels in China, APAC, the Middle East and Africa where the total cost of a Saflok / SALTO / VingCard rollout is prohibitive. The trade-offs are: less standardised PMS integration, narrower mobile-key support (BLE only, no native wallet), MIFARE Classic-only chip support, and less third-party documentation. For premium and high-value access zones, the major brands are usually better aligned. For budget-hotel rollouts where margin pressure matters, Be-Tech is a credible choice with a clear procurement-narrative on price-led positioning plus the absence of public CVEs.
