- What is MIFARE?
MIFARE is a contactless memory card technology that operates at the
13.56MHz operating frequency. Initially developed by Philips Electronics
for use in the transit and cashless vending markets, MIFARE offers read/write
capability in a contactless form factor. MIFARE provides a unique 32-bit
serial number for each card. A short read range maintains the integrity
of the read/write process required by transit and cashless vending applications.
- What can I use it for?
Today, MIFARE technology is primarily used for e-purse applications
such as vending, fare collection, transit, airline ticketing, prepaid
metering, phone cards, and toll roads.
Data applications include ID cards, university cards, loyalty programs,
and medical information cards. MIFARE cards can manage up to 16 separate
applications on just one card!
