The MIFARE Ultralight® contactless smart card is based on NXP MF0 IC U1, which is connected to a coil with a few turns and then embedded into plastic. The communication layer (MIFARE RF Interface) complies with part 2 and 3 of the ISO/IEC14443A standard. The MF0 IC U1 is primarily designed for contactless single trip solutions in transport applications. It is contactless transmission of data and supply energy and no battery is needed.
MIFARE Ultralight® is the perfect solution for system operators who will implement completely contactless automatic fare collection programs. With its wider application, traditional low cost ticketing media will be gradually replaced by disposable, non-reloadable contactless cards or tickets.
