Onity™ Secures Asia Pacific’s First Pullman by Accor at Sydney Olympic Park

Published April 3, 2009

With the opening of the 212-room Pullman at Sydney Olympic Park, Sydney's only new 5-star hotel to open this decade and western Sydney's first 5-star hotel, Onity has completed the electronic locking solution for the Accor properties at Sydney Olympic Park. The Pullman selected the ADVANCE by Onity electronic locking system with custom handles to complement its contemporary design and décor. Onity, one of the world’s leading providers of electronic locking solutions, is part of UTC Fire & Security, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX).

ADVANCE by Onity is an electronic locking solution that offers a wide range of flexibility in both aesthetic design and operational features. The newly developed electronic lock features a unique, modular, two-piece design that minimizes hardware on the guestroom door. The ADVANCE solution offers dual and MIFARE® upgradeable technology, so as security technology continues to advance, upgrades and retrofits are both simple and affordable.

At Sydney Olympic Park, Onity was also selected to provide the locking solution for the Formula 1, which chose the Onity HT24 Magnetic Stripe to secure both its guest room doors and car park access control system. In early 2008, Onity upgraded the electronic locks at the Novotel and IBIS Sydney Olympic Park to the traditional Onity HT24 Magnetic Stripe lock.
