VingCard Elsafe announced a technology interface has been completed between its line of contactless RFID hotel locking solutions and SKIDATA, an Austrian provider of access management and ticketing solutions for ski resorts, airports, sports venues and tourist attractions.
SKIDATA’s FlexSpace RFID technology will now be integrated into VingCard’s complete range of RFID locking products, which includes Classic RFID, Signature RFID and Signature RFID Remotus designs. This new interface offers convenience to hotel and ski resort guests, allowing skiers to use their RFID-enabled ski pass as a key for their guestroom at surrounding hotels and resorts.
As an alternative, RFID tags can also be embedded carriers, such as wristbands or lanyards, enabling easy access to all resort amenities. The proprietary SKIDATA RFID technology leverages high-frequency 13.56 MHz passive RFID tags complying with the ISO 15693 standard.
VingCard’s RFID solutions operate on a secure open platform system compatible with the ISO standards (ISO 14443A/MiFare, ISO 14443B, ISO 15693) and the new NFC transaction platform for cell phones.
