NFC Solutions
Smart cards, tags, and mobile key integration for the connected hotel
Overview
Connected Hospitality
NFC (Near Field Communication) enables a new generation of guest experiences beyond traditional keycards. Our NFC solutions portfolio includes smart cards with dual-interface capability, adhesive NFC tags for asset and room management, and mobile key platforms that turn guest smartphones into room keys — all built on proven NXP technology.
Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 smart city projects — NEOM, The Red Sea, Qiddiya — demand technology-forward guest experiences. NFC solutions connect physical spaces to digital services seamlessly.

As Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 mega-projects introduce the world's most technologically advanced hospitality experiences, NFC solutions are essential for properties that want to compete at the highest level.
