![]() Signature RFID contactless electronic door locks offer highly reliable security features and provide unprecedented convenience and ease-of-operation for hoteliers and hotel guests alike. The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) locks allow for contactless guest room entry and are compatible with next generation NFC cell phones. “With Signature RFID’s unique features, our
property can stay ahead of our guests’ needs,” said Hammer. “Each
keycard
provides updates to the front desk, allowing our staff to receive
important
information in significantly less time. Our staff is now more efficient
which
keeps our guests very happy as our staff is able to respond almost
instantly to
guest requests.” Hotel Okura Amsterdam will be fully equipped to provide user-friendly and intuitive guest interaction, including NFC cell phone compatibility, while decreasing the overall workload of the hotel’s management and staff. Signature RFID also provides unmatched control and security – with a 600-event audit trail and innovative anti-cloning software – creating a sense of ease for hoteliers according to Christian Hénon, president of ASSA ABLOY Hospitality Europe/Middle East/Africa. “Hotel Okura Amsterdam needs a highly reliable security solution that is easy-to-use and can adapt to the unique needs of the property,” said Hénon. “With Signature RFID by VingCard, the property can offer guests a variety of options, from wristbands to keycards, allowing guests convenient options while still providing the ultimate level of security.” Additionally, Signature RFID locks offer Hotel Okura Amsterdam the opportunity to go “green”. The energy-efficient locks require fewer battery changes than traditional electronic locks, meaning less waste (not to mention lower battery costs) for the hotelier. Signature RFID’s sealed hardware design also means less maintenance because the mechanism does not require cleaning.
