Connect, the partnership arm of HID Global, announced the awards at the Innovation 2006 conference in San Diego. Each entry into the event was evaluated based on the various measures of innovation using HID 13.56 MHz Iclass and 125 kHz proximity technologies as the development platforms.

Nedap achieved a second-place with it s newest development: the Transition Booster, an in-vehicle reader transmitter device, allows a driver to use a standard building access credential, such as HID Prox and Iclass cards, for vehicle access.

The main feature is the ability to amplify the read range of an HID Iclass 13.56 MHz credential or HID 125 kHz Prox card up to 10 m (33 ft) to handsfree vehicle access.
