HID’s Crescendo Smart
Card allows the same
smart card to be used to
gain access to a building
and to log in to the
building’s IT network.
Fargo’s printer uses the
High Definition Printing
(HDP) technology, which
provides superior printing,
quality on ID cards.
Aperio is a new technology developed by ASSA ABLOY
that allows cost-effective connection of several doors to
an existing access control system. The wireless installation
is based on existing locks, to which are added battery-
operated electromechanical cylinders that can communicate
wirelessly with the existing network. No expensive
installation costs, no new keycards and no new access
system are required.
Smartair is a similar solution, in which a simpler access
control system can be offered to those who have previously
relied on mechanical lock systems.
No more waiting in line for hotel guests
For hotel guests, VingCard has made use of RFID and wireless
mobile technology in combination with a new communication
interface called Near Field Communication (NFC).
The guest’s cellphone becomes both a code bearer and a
key. Guests can use their phones to book a room, check in
and out, gain access to the room and the hotel’s facilities,
and pay their bills over the Internet.
Total door solutions are ASSA ABLOY’s strength
ASSA ABLOY’s business is not based solely on innovations;
the great strength of the Group is the variety of traditional

Secure card issuance with Fargo
The innovative HDP5000 printer for ID cards is the latest
addition to the Fargo brand of secure ID card issuance solutions.
The High Definition Printing (HDP) technology
provides superior printing quality on ID cards. HDP uses
reverse transfer print technology in which the image
is printed on the underside of film that fuses to the card
surface. The film conforms to the ridges and indentations
formed by embedded electronics, while providing an extra
layer of card durability and security. The HDP5000 printer’s
versatile modular design makes it easy to upgrade to dualsided
printing, single-sided or dual-sided lamination and
many other card encoding technologies.
Entrance innovations
Besam’s SW100 is one of the most silent swing-door operators

Safe, reliable and quiet operation makes it the ideal choice
for applications in retail, healthcare, residential, office and
public service environments where accessibility and ease of
use are important.
