EINDHOVEN, Netherlands, Feb. 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ:NXPI) has identified top trends that are driving the global hospitality industry’s move from magnetic stripe (magstripe) and low-frequency (LF) cards to secure, high-frequency (HF) smart card technologies to create an exceptional guest experience in 2017. NXP’s view is based on the industry’s increasing demand for combining multiple applications onto a single credential and mobile integration, coupled with the need for higher security in access control, payment and an expanding range of applications. The shift to HF identification technologies supports the hospitality market’s focus on streamlining operational efficiencies and taking convenience to a new level for guests.
“NXP’s leadership in the access and secure identification market, along with our broad insights through partners and customers places us in a unique position to view developing solutions and technology trends in the hospitality space,” said Markus Staeblein Vice President and General Manager Secure Mobility & Retail at NXP. “We believe that 2017 will be an important year for leveraging the power of advanced contactless technologies in the hospitality market, where NFC and other high-frequency technologies are paving the way for the industry to do far more with a card, phone or wearable device in order to create highly differentiated experiences for guests.”
NXP’s 2017 trends in hospitality point to the increasingly smart environment, where mobile keys and a growing range of integrated guest applications, online hotel locks and equipment are being connected.
The trends include:
NXP anticipates the move to high-frequency technologies will set the foundation to enable these trends in 2017 and the development of new capabilities in years to come. Visit www.nxp.com for information on NXP’s product portfolio for the hospitality industry.
