Passive Occupancy Intelligence

Your hotel knows
everything except
who's in the room.

Meridian tells you, in real time, which rooms are occupied and which are vacant — with no cameras, no wearables, no guest interaction. Installs in 15 minutes. Runs forever.

The Problem

Hotels operate blind.

A 200-room hotel spends $400,000–$600,000 annually on housekeeping. Without accurate occupancy data, housekeeping is dispatched to occupied rooms, HVAC runs in vacant ones, and late checkouts go undetected until it's too late.

Every hour of uncertainty costs money. None of the existing solutions actually solve the problem.

Key Cards

Does not confirm human presence. Guests leave without the card constantly.

PIR Motion

Misses stationary occupants. A sleeping guest, a still guest — invisible.

Cameras

Privacy liability. Regulatory risk. Guest complaints. Legal exposure growing.

Housekeeping

Labour intensive, disruptive, inconsistent. Not a system — it's a workaround.

How It Works

Proprietary presence detection.

Meridian uses proprietary radio frequency sensing technology to determine, with certainty, whether a room is occupied or vacant. The underlying algorithms are our IP. What matters is the result.

Install in 15 Minutes

A small set of discreet devices are mounted in the room and connected to wall power. No structural changes. No hotel network access required. No IT department involvement.

Continuous Sensing

The system monitors the room continuously and passively. No cameras. No wearables. No interaction with guests. Nothing for guests to notice or object to.

Proprietary Detection

Onboard processing runs our detection algorithms locally. No identifiable data is extracted. The system determines one thing: is a human present or not.

Occupied / Vacant

A binary status — Occupied or Vacant — is sent to your dashboard. Nothing else leaves the room. The hotel sees only the decision.

Housekeeping savings / year

$75K–$100K

15–20% reduction on typical $500K housekeeping spend

Energy savings / year

$20K–$40K

HVAC and lighting eliminated in vacant rooms

Meridian annual cost (Year 2+)

$120K

Properties are typically cashflow positive from the system by Year 2

Privacy Architecture

The guarantee is physical, not policy.

It is physically impossible to reconstruct an image or identify an individual from these signals. The system determines one thing: is a human present. Nothing more.

Meridian Technical Architecture

Range resolution of 7.5 metres

The radio frequency technology used operates at a resolution that cannot form an image. The physics prevent it. No regulatory carve-out needed because there is nothing to regulate.

Nothing identifiable stored or transmitted

All processing happens locally inside the room. Only the binary occupancy decision is sent to the dashboard. No signal data, no biometrics, nothing identifiable ever leaves the device.

PIPEDA, CCPA, GDPR — categorically exempt

Camera-based systems face increasing legal and reputational exposure across North America and Europe. Meridian is not a surveillance system. It was never designed to be.

Technical Specifications

Built to operate.

Detection Performance

Proprietary detection

Our algorithms run entirely on-device. The specifics are our IP, developed over years of research. What we can tell you: it works on stationary occupants, it works with competing wireless signals in the environment, and it has been validated in real hotel rooms.
