September 13, 2012 - SMARTRAC N.V., the leading developer, manufacturer and supplier of RFID transponders and inlays, today announced that it has produced and supplied more than 2 million PRELAM(R) products based on the Sony FeliCa(TM) RC-S962 IC chip.

SMARTRAC PRELAM(R) products based on Sony FeliCa(TM) IC chips are used in applications such as automated fare collection (AFC) for public transport, access control, contactless micro-payments and loyalty schemes.

The secure IC chip complies with ISO/IEC 15408 as well as Common Criteria EAL 4+ and provides superior tamper resistance. Encryption ensures that credentials and cash are safely stored on the card and protected reliably against misuse and forgery.

Combined with the high reliability and durability of the SMARTRAC PRELAM(R), customers and users benefit from a sophisticated product which offers fast and convenient access, ticket validation, and payment functionalities.

'We are probably the first RFID inlay and transponder manufacturer who has surpassed the 2 million unit milestone for Sony FeliCa(TM) RC-S962 IC chip products sold outside of Japan,' said Dr. Christian Fischer. 'It is an expression of our close collaboration with the leading chip manufacturers worldwide and our strategy to offer our customers the broadest product and technology range in the industry.'
