VISIONLINE is built on the reliable ZigBee Alliance high-security open platform which meets powerful IEEE 802.15.4 physical radio standards and operates worldwide at 2.4GHz. ZigBee is the only wireless, high-security, open standards-based technology that addresses the unique needs of remote monitoring and access-control network applications. The ZigBee Alliance is a global group of companies creating wireless solutions for use in home, commercial and industrial applications.
�Value also comes from the system�s true two-way communications capability,� he added. �With an online solution, communication flows freely between each individual lock and the VISIONLINE PC. This saves hotels considerable man-hours, since individual locks don�t need to be manually interrogated to download the audit trail or reprogram the lock. All data retrieval and information updating can be done remotely from the main VISIONLINE PC, including canceling guest cards and master cards with a simple �click� to the PC feature.�
Venas said a patent is presently pending on the VISIONLINE solution. �Hoteliers who previously thought they could not afford an online security solution need to preview VingCard RF-online,� he said. �As hotel technology continues to adapt to meet the ever-changing needs of its guests, VingCard gives its customers the added security of knowing the technology they put in place today will be able to support the solutions of tomorrow. RF-online by VingCard will better position today�s larger hotels to be more secure and more competitive.�

DALLAS
� MAY 18, 2009 � VingCard, a leading supplier of hospitality security solutions
worldwide, has introduced VISIONLINE, a new wireless radio-frequency (RF)
online electronic locking system, ideal for the most demanding properties.
The RF-online solution gives hotels a more cost-effective way to streamline
reliable two-way communications from individual electronic locks to a central
VISIONLINE PC without the need to wire the locks.
�VISIONLINE
by VingCard is more than just an electronic lock,� said Rune Venas, president
of ASSA ABLOY Hospitality, Inc. in North America. �It offers a complete
new array of benefits for the entire hotel, such as enhanced guest services,
improved front-desk operations, streamlined hotel operations, increased
engineering and maintenance and superior security and control, etc. This
solution offers something for everyone throughout the hotel enterprise,
from guests to staff to managers and owners. We�re proud to add this affordable,
next-generation technology to our family of security solutions.�
�The
beauty of the ZigBee platform comes from its ability to make wireless technology
affordable,� Venas said. �Using low power-consumption solutions, it can
run for years on inexpensive primary batteries. And, with transmission
distances from 10 to 100 meters, depending on the power output and a hotel�s
architectural backbone, an RF-online solution limits the number of devices
needed to communicate with electronic locks. Instead of using an infrared
solution in which one device is needed per guestroom, an RF solution uses
only one device to communicate with multiple guestrooms.�
