The advantage of RFID in high traffic areas such as hotels is that it is convenient. A guest or employee simply presents their ‘key’ card to unlock a door, rather than swiping a magnetic stripe card and because there is no contact between the card and the reader, there is less wear and tear, and therefore less maintenance.
SALTO offers a wide range of RFID cards all based on ISO standards. These include Mifare, Mifare plus, DESfire, DESfire EV1
All are extremely secure thanks to built-in encryption and protection and they cannot be cloned.RFID cards are also more reliable as the cards cannot be demagnetized (unlike a magstripe card) and are hard wearing, water and weather resistant and can be reused as many times as you need – making them very cost effective.
