DALLAS— The NFC Forum has named VingCard’s Signature RFID/NFC product the Best NFC Service of the Year. Signature RFID/NFC is a hospitality security system that allows hotel guests with Near Field Communication-enabled cell phones to securely receive over-the-air encrypted room keys, in order to bypass the check-in/check-out process and unlock their room doors via mobile device.

Signature RFID/NFC was chosen from among 20 finalists and more than 50 entries from 21 countries. Achieving first place in the commercial track category, the award was presented to Pascal Metivier, President of Assa Abloy Hospitality EMEA and Latin America, at the WIMA European NFC Developers Summit on April 29 in Monaco.
