There is a growing demand for modules with a very small surface area capable of delivering only a few microwatts. Indeed, with the progress of low consumption electronics, more and more applications of this kind can be found.
We are working with manufacturers on topics related to electronic cards or access badges. Let’s imagine cards capable of embedding electronics in order to offer new functionalities to users.
A smart card integrates a microprocessor, some memory, and some apps. Thales is estimated that between 30 to 50B smart cards are in circulation today.
Smart cards allow us to authenticate and identify people. They are used for:
