On any given day, there will be approximately 2,500 staff working in The O2. NEC has installed an RFID infrastructure across the complex, which will track the movements of staff, caterers and contractors and allow swift clocking in and out using smartcards.

This functionality will also be extended to a member loyalty system, which will involve members of The O2, such as corporate box-holders, using "prestigious" smartcards rather than paper tickets. The smartcard-based ticketing system will be linked to The O2's online booking infrastructure.
