Smart Cards

A smart card is a type of chip card or a plastic card embedded with a computer chip that stores and transacts data between users. This data is associated with either value or information or both and is stored and processed within the card’s chip, either a memory or microprocessor. The card data is transacted via a reader that is part of a computing system.

Smart card-enhanced systems are in use today throughout several key applications, including healthcare, banking, entertainment, telecommunication and transportation.

We have range of EEPROM memory cards with rewritable memory. The cards come in various sizes; 1K, 8K, 16K, 32K and 64K. 
(EEPROM = Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only memory.)

Contactless Card
Contactless Card has a remote contactless electromagnetic interface. To communicate with the data, it requires a contactless reader.

We sell MIFARE Standard 1 K Card.( MIFARE is a 13.56 MHz contactless technology that is described under ISO 14443 Type A.)

Apart from Contact and Contactless Cards, we also sell a smart card that features a combination of both.

Hybrid Card – is combination of contact and contactless. It requires a contact and a Radio Frequency means to communicate. The card is read either by inserting it into a contact reader or by waving it through a radio frequency field (contactless reader).

Combi Card – combines both the contact and contactless communications abilities into a single semiconductor. It allows EEPROM memory cells to be accesse from the both contact and contactless elements.
