Contactless cards or RFID Cards are the perfect solution when you require more security and control in your company or for your event. A big advantage of contactless cards is that it allows your customers, visitors or members to identify themselves in a fast and efficient way. Because of the RFID application they can just simply hold their bag or wallet (containing the contactless card) in front of the reader to access.

In large parts of Asia it is already so common that almost every organization prefers a contactless card instead of the standard plastic card.

• Access control systems in hotel rooms
