Hybrid Cards

tals@cguard.co.il — Tue, 13 Feb 2024 11:29:23 +0000

Hybrid cards combine different chip technologies and make flexible and a broad range of card applications possible. It is embedded with both memory function and an onboard microprocessor. The two different chips on the hybrid smart card can then be used for separate applications, allowing one single smart card to function to be dual purpose. An example of this would be a smart card that is used by an employee to access a restricted area within an organization and is also used for authentication when logging in to a computer.

Computer Guard provides a variety of options for multi application – multi technology Hybrid cards.

for example, we have been providing a unique complex, dual Chip – dual antenna smart cards, where one chip has a dual interface for contact and contactless interaction with the operating system on the first chip and pure contactless interface interaction with the second chip for other applications of the card.

NFC Cards

tals@cguard.co.il — Tue, 13 Feb 2024 10:13:11 +0000

NFC, or Near Field Communication, is a wireless communication technology that allows devices to exchange data and information within a close range, typically within a few centimeters. It operates at a frequency of 13.56 MHz and enables devices to communicate by bringing them close together.

NFC smart cards are a specific application of NFC technology in the form of cards embedded with an NFC chip. These cards can store and transmit data wirelessly to and from other NFC-enabled devices. NFC smart cards are used for various purposes, such as contactless payment systems, access control (e.g., building entry), public transportation payment (e.g., metro or bus fare), and identification badges. The communication between an NFC smart card and a compatible device is established by simply tapping or bringing the card close to the device, facilitating quick and convenient transactions or data exchanges.
