| The German House in Vancouver will employ contactless smart card technology from LEGIC |
Personalised cards for up to 12,000 people will enable controlled but flexible access to the buildings at the two sites in Vancouver and Whistler. Several LEGIC partners are responsible for the installation of the access systems and also for personalising the cards.
Access control systems for major sports events have to meet high standards of security and convenience. The decision by Deutsche Sport-Marketing GmbH to use the secure and flexible LEGIC advant smart card technology in the "German House" takes account of these needs. The German Olympic team, officials, commercial partners and media representatives will all benefit from an advanced security concept and the high convenience of modern contactless identification technology.

"It was important for us that visitors of our facilities in Vancouver and Whistler are able to move around in total security, yet be comfortable at the same time," says Axel Achten, CEO of Deutsche Sport-Marketing GmbH. "The LEGIC advent technology meets our high expectations in terms of security and flexibility".
Dr. Otto Eggimann, Vice President Sales & Business Development of LEGIC, is delighted at the decision: "In the environment of the Winter Olympic Games, the theme of access control plays an important role. By selecting the highly secure LEGIC advant technology, Deutsche Sport-Marketing GmbH has chosen a platform which can be flexibly expanded to include further applications. We are pleased that the technology is being used on this occasion too." LEGIC technologies have already been successfully used at other major events, such as the Asian Games or the Commonwealth Games.
