NXP is pleased to announce that the Austrian company GANTNER Electronic GmbH, a pioneer in the field of RFID-based solutions for access control, time and attendance, and cashless payment, is now a MIFARE System Integrator Partner.
GANTNER is a long-time supporter of MIFARE® products, with extensive implementations for access management in fitness clubs, amusement parks, and universities. Some of their largest installations for access include the Wet ‘n Wild Water Park in Sydney, the Wahoo Water Park in Bahrain, and several campuses for German universities, such as Goethe Universität in Frankfurt and Technische Universität in Darmstadt.
No more keys
In the world of GANTNER, keys are a thing of the past. GANTNER’s access solutions are operated with a credential – be it a card, a wristband, a fob, or a smartphone – and are compatible with most common software solutions from third-party providers. Their MIFARE product-based approach focuses on efficiency, security, and convenience.
GANTNER’s work in electronic locks has gained them a worldwide reputation for their powerful, high-quality solutions for locker management. As a result, they are a leading supplier to fitness clubs, hospitals, ski resorts, universities, schools, libraries, and other places where people store items in lockable compartments.
