MIFARE Ultralight

NXP MIFARE Ultralight is the perfect solution for system operators wanting to implement completely contactless automatic fare collection systems. Step-by-step, traditional low cost ticketing media are being replaced by disposable, non-reloadable contactless cards or tickets.

MIFARE Ultralight C

NXP MIFARE Ultralight C is the newest member of the MIFARE technology platform, complementing the offering in the low-cost segment.

MIFARE Classic 1k

Launched in 1995, the MIFARE Classic 1k IC was the first product, which could be fitted into an ISO contactless smart card and with its slim coil, allowed very high volume production. Today, millions of MIFARE Classic 1k ICs are in use around the globe in all different applications – from public transport, road-tolling and parking meters, to accessing car parks and paying at fuel pumps.

MIFARE Classic 4k

Expanding on the functionality of the existing MIFARE Classic 1k ICs, the MIFARE Classic 4k IC was developed. It provides significant increased memory size, making it the perfect solution for multi-application cards. It allows end-users to be more flexible and to experience improved convenience.

MIFARE Plus

The MIFARE Plus offers breakthrough security and performance for the cost-sensitive automated fare collection (AFC) and access control markets. MIFARE Plus is the latest addition to NXP's MIFARE portfolio and features multiple levels of security, including Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption, and a migration path from existing MIFARE Classic implementations.

MIFARE DESFire EV1

MIFARE DESFire EV1 is ideal for service providers wanting to use multi-application smart cards in transport schemes, e-government or identity applications. It fully complies with the requirements for fast and highly secure data transmission, flexible memory organization and interoperability with existing infrastructure.

SmartMX

The SmartMX platform manufactured in most advanced CMOS 0.14 um 5 metal layer technology is positioned to service high volume, mono- and multi-application markets such as e-Government, banking/finance, mobile communications, public transportation, pay TV, conditional access, and network access.
