Chip cards
They are secure, modern identification media.
Cards are equipped with contactless chip. The wound copper antenna is connected to the chip and moulded in plastic, in the card body. The card is standardly printed by any technology.
Chip cards can be divided into R/O (read/only) type or R/W (read/write) type.
Cards with read-only chips are for identification purposes only. The operating frequency of the R/O cards is 125kHz. Cards with EM4102, EM4200 chips
Used primarily for unambiguous identification when entering all systems (customer, access, hotel, ...)
Cards with chips for reading and writing enable identification, but aespecially storage of data in the chip. The operating frequency of the R/W cards is 13.56 MHz.
Cards with Mifare chips, differing only in the amount of data that can be stored in the chip memory and the way of their security - Mifare 1kB, Mifare 4kB, Mifare Ultralight C. Cards with higher level of security of the data stored - Mifare DesFire 4k EV1, Mifare DesFire 4k EV2, Mifare DesFire 8kB EV1, Mifare DesFire 8kB EV2 These cards are most often used in transport systems or as an electronic wallet.
Combined contactless cards, address connection of several identification systems with a single identifier - a card that contains two chips operating at two different frequencies e.g. EM4102 + Mifare1kB, EM4102 + Mifare 4kB, also EM4102 + Mifare DesFire 4k, EM4102 + Mifare Desfire 8k.
Used mainly in the interconnected systems where readers with different reading frequencies are used, e.g. access system (EM4102 chip) and payment system - electronic wallet (Mifare chip) at a sole operator.
