Renovated Flagship Property in Campinas Upgrades to Signature RFID for Its Advanced Security and NFC Mobile Phone Compatibility
DALLAS, TX (April 11, 2011) –
VingCard Elsafe, the global leader in hospitality security and part of
the ASSA ABLOY Group, has completed installation of its Signature RFID
by VingCard electronic door locks at the newly renovated Royal Palm
Plaza in Campinas, Brazil. The largest hotel for events in Brazil, the
500-room hotel offers four pools, three restaurants, a water park and a
cinema for visiting travelers and locals alike. The hotel also boasts
two children’s theme parks: “Miniville,” for those young enough to
enjoy visiting a colorful cast of costumed characters, and “Kata Kuka,”
for the older set who would prefer labyrinths, treetop walks, climbing
walls, a zip line and many other attractions.
By implementing Signature RFID by
VingCard, staff and guests of Royal Palm Plaza can relax, knowing that
the property has deployed the highest security possible in an
easy-to-use and convenient package. Signature RFID contactless
electronic door locks 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 guest room entry and are compatible with
next-generation NFC mobile phones.
“Signature RFID by VingCard is the
perfect locking solution for properties like the Royal Palm Plaza,
locations that need the highest security but want to provide their
guests with the most easy-to-use and convenient solution possible,”
says Rune Venas, president of ASSA ABLOY Hospitality in North America.
“With Signature RFID by Vingcard, guests can bypass the front desk and
use their own phones to go directly to their rooms and start relaxing
immediately.”
The Royal Palm Plaza will be fully
equipped to provide user-friendly and intuitive guest interaction,
including NFC cell phone compatibility, while decreasing the overall
workload of the resort’s management and staff. Signature RFID also
provides unmatched control and security, with a 600-event audit trail
and innovative anti-cloning software, creating peace of mind for
hoteliers. Additionally, Signature RFID locks offer hotels like Royal
Palm Plaza the opportunity to enhance their “green” initiatives. The
energy-efficient locks require fewer battery changes than traditional
electronic locks, meaning less waste and reduced costs for hoteliers.
Signature RFID’s sealed hardware design also means less maintenance
since the mechanism does not require cleaning.

design of this locking solution means that the Royal Palm Plaza can
provide the highest security long after renovations are complete, while
simultaneously cutting costs,” Venas says. “And at the same time,
Signature RFID by VingCard provides unmatched control for the hotelier,
a key feature for a hotel like this that prides itself on its
flexibility.”
Signature RFID is a secure
open-platform system compatible with the three leading RFID ISO
standards (ISO 14443A/MiFare, ISO 14443B, ISO 15693) and the new NFC
transaction platform for mobile phones. By installing Signature RFID
locks, the Royal Palm Plaza will be ready to offer remote check-in to
guests with NFC-compatible cell phones. After making a reservation but
prior to arrival at the hotel, guests will receive a booking
confirmation number, room number and encrypted room key access code
through an encrypted Short Message System (SMS) to their NFC-enabled
cell phone, allowing them to bypass the check-in line upon arrival and
go straight to the room, where their NFC-enabled cell phones will
unlock the guestroom door.

the check-in process using Signature RFID/NFC can be found online at
