VingCard gives NFC upgrade to Best Western Reims

Tuesday, March 23, 2010

VingCard has announced the installation of its Classic RFID contactless electronic upgrade kit with NFC cell phone compatibility at the Best Western Hôtel de la Paix in Reims, France.

According to VingCard, the upgrade allowed Best Western to keep most of its existing locks and replace only the bezel card reader.

Classic RFID is a secure open-platform system compatible with the three RFID ISO standards (ISO 14443A/MiFare, ISO 14443B, ISO 15693) and features a 600 event audit trail, anti-cloning software, low energy output locks and a new NFC transaction platform to enable remote check-in for guests with NFC-enabled smart phones. [end]
