Multi-use keys, as the smart chip card can be used for other services such as Pay TV, Internet booking, E-purse, CRM programs, Account payment, Safe locking etc.

Small front access management equipment that allows extremely quick card encoding.

Extremely quick and easy elimination of lost cards.

Re-usable.

The Contact Smart Card, a far more technologically advanced ID carrier than the mag strip cards, changes completely the concept of "Master Cards". Any profile is possible, and can be changed at any time. This basically means that in "old mag stripe" terminology, any individual Master Card combination is possible.

Of course standard options are available:

	Multi door cards
	Program cards and Spare Cards, in case a power failure makes normal check-in temporarily impossible.

New possibilities come within reach when combining the Contact Smart Card with Salto Virtual Net:

	The Smart Cards will build up 'on-card' audit trails, to track personnel or guest movements.
	Lock specific data like battery power status is registered on staff or guest Smart Cards.
	Lost or stolen master cards are deleted from the system by just visiting the locks with up-dated cards.
	No specific Smart Cards or staff members are required to carry out these tasks. A member of the cleaning staff carries out all the above features by just inserting their Smart Card in a lock to clean a room.
	Complete Access profile of each individual user can be updated at the up-date wall readers.
