RFID technology provides security screenings at the Oscars

2 July 2003 News Products & Solutions

The spotlight shone on security at the 75th Academy Awards in Los Angeles as several thousand celebrities, crew members, producers, press and other guests were kept safe at the event using a system that featured Texas Instruments' RFid Systems (TI-RFid) technology. Security personnel used TI-RFid technology to verify the identity of attendees at strategic perimeter locations, interior checkpoints and restricted access areas throughout the Kodak Theatre.

As part of an overall security framework implemented by Security Solutions, a systems integrator, the nearly 11 000 authorised attendees, guests and staff were required to wear an ID card, issued in advance, which contained a TI-RFid 13,56 MHz smart label.

Designed to meet the ISO 15693 vicinity card standard, the smart labels embedded in the badges contain a unique, factory-programmed ID, which cannot be duplicated. With more than 256 bytes of data, the badges hold 30 times more information than traditional 125 kHz proximity cards.
