LEGIC Identsystems Ltd has signed a global licensing agreement with Honeywell. The partnership will allow Honeywell Building Solutions to incorporate access control application solutions from LEGIC, a leading supplier of contactless smart card technology, into its portfolio of smart cards and readers. This will give Honeywell customers a broader range of solutions for their building security applications.

"Working with LEGIC enables us to take advantage of their highly secure smart card technology in our access control solutions," said Gary Wuetig, Platform Development and Offering Leader at Honeywell, Europe, Middle East & Africa. "Based on this multi-application technology we will also be able to implement new, state-of-the-art solutions to continue meeting our customers' needs."

Under the agreement, Honeywell will add LEGIC-based 13.56 MHz RFID access and smart card technology to an array of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) readers. As a member of LEGIC's Partner Network, Honeywell will also have the opportunity to work closely with other LEGIC Partners in offering a broad range of multi-application and smart card applications to enhance its integrated Access Control and Time & Attendance solutions - from biometrics and logical access control to parking solutions and systems for cashless payment or sport event ticketing management. Finally, both Honeywell and LEGIC have strong direct-to-end-user customer philosophies which act as an enabler to understanding customers' specific requirements and providing the applications to match them.
