Twin Greek Properties Implement NFC-Compatible Locks, VISION Advanced Access Management Solution
VingCard
Elsafe, the global leader in hospitality security and part of the ASSA
ABLOY Group, has completed installation of its Signature RFID
contactless electronic door locks and VISION access management system at
a pair of luxury Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide properties in
Greece. The 321-room The Romanos, A Luxury Collection Resort, and the
445-room The Westin Resort Costa Navarino opened last year as two of the
most decadent properties of the Peloponnese region.
Both resorts feature Signature RFID contactless electronic door locks, which offer highly reliable security features and provide unprecedented convenience and ease of operation for hoteliers and guests alike. The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) locks allow for contactless guestroom entry and are compatible with next-generation NFC cell phones. Each keycard provides updates to the front desk, allowing the hotel’s staff to receive guest information and requests without requiring the guest to visit the front desk, making it possible to respond almost instantly.
Using VingCard’s Signature RFID, the Starwood resorts are able to provide user-friendly and intuitive guest interaction, including NFC mobile phone compatibility, while decreasing the overall workload of the hotel’s management and staff. Signature RFID also provides unmatched control and security, with its 600-event audit trail and innovative anti-cloning software, creating peace-of-mind for hoteliers, says Christian Hénon, president of ASSA ABLOY Hospitality Europe/Middle East/Africa.
“Signature
RFID by VingCard is an extremely reliable security solution that is
easy to use while still offering guests a variety of flexible access
options," Hénon says. "Meanwhile, hoteliers can be confident in knowing
that the system is future-proof—despite the impending global move to
cell phones with Near Field Communciation technology, better known as
NFC, Signature RFID comes ready-made for the conversion." Signature RFID
operates on a secure open-platform system compatible with the three
leading RFID ISO standards (ISO 14443A/MiFare, ISO 14443B, ISO 15693),
in addition to the new NFC transaction platform that is emerging as
standard functionality for mobile phones in Europe, North America and
elsewhere.
To complement Signature by VingCard electronic locks, the Costa Navarino resorts have also selected the state-of-the-art VISION access management system. The VISION technology offers advanced reporting capabilities to enhance the properties' security, with all access attempts logged to ensure that anyone entering or leaving the resorts and their secure areas is automatically documented. VISION's report templates and flexibility make it easy to quickly extract information about which keys have accessed which doors, and the dedicated portable LockLink interrogation and programming unit lets management view locking events from the audit trail. The VISION system is based on a robust and advanced client server SQL database, ensuring fast and reliable operations and preventing the system from crashing in the event of a single terminal outage. Database files are protected by high-security encryption.
