What Is Arcticlyn
Aurora Alerts?

5 min read B2B Guide By Arcticlyn

Your guests are missing the aurora.
Every night.

It's 2am. The Kp index hits 5. The sky above your property is alive with green and violet. Your guests, asleep with their phones on silent, miss every second of it. They wake up the next morning and check the internet — and see photos of exactly what happened outside their window while they slept.

This is the problem Arcticlyn solves. Aurora Alerts is an infrastructure layer that connects your hotel to your guests' phones — so when the lights appear, you can wake them up, breaking through Do Not Disturb and Sleep.

The Product

Aurora alert infrastructure
for aurora-zone hotels

Arcticlyn Aurora Alerts is not a consumer app with a hotel add-on. It was built from day one as hotel infrastructure — a system designed around the operational reality of a property that wants to deliver an exceptional aurora experience to every guest, every night the conditions are right.

At its core, it is a one-tap alert system. Your staff monitors conditions. When the aurora is visible, they press a button. Every guest who connected to your property via the Arcticlyn app receives an immediate notification — not a quiet banner, but a Time Sensitive alert that arrives even when the phone is on Do Not Disturb.

The result: your hotel becomes the hero. Not luck. Not a guest who happened to be awake. Your hotel, actively delivering the moment your guests came for.

"The hotel that wakes you up for the aurora is the hotel you remember for the rest of your life."

— Arcticlyn Product Philosophy
About notifications: Arcticlyn uses Time Sensitive notifications — a high-priority alert level on iOS that can break through Do Not Disturb when the user has allowed it. Guests accept notification permissions during onboarding. Delivery is high but not 100% guaranteed — it depends on the guest's device settings.
The Platform

Two interfaces,
one seamless system.

The hotel dashboard puts your staff in full control. The guest app delivers the moment directly to every guest's phone — linked, notified, and ready before the aurora peaks.

The Flow

From QR code to
aurora alert in 4 steps

01 · Setup
Hotel places QR codes
You download your property's unique QR code from the dashboard and place it in guest rooms — on the bedside table, in the welcome card, or at reception.
02 · Guest connects
Guest scans and links
Guest scans the QR, downloads Arcticlyn (if not installed) and links to your property in one tap. They accept notification permissions during a simple 3-screen onboarding. The link expires automatically after 5 days.
03 · Aurora appears
Staff presses send
Your team monitors the aurora — live outside, or through the app's real-time forecast. When the sky lights up, they open the dashboard or hotel app panel and press "Send Aurora Alert" with one tap.
04 · Guests wake up
Alert arrives instantly
All connected guests receive a Time Sensitive push notification. Even guests with Do Not Disturb enabled may receive it, depending on their device settings. Target delivery latency: under 5 seconds.

The entire alert flow — from button press to guest phone — is designed to complete in under 5 seconds. There's no scheduling, no delay, no configuration per alert. One press, all connected guests.
