The MIFARE series from manufacturer NXP is the most widely used chip technology worldwide when RFID chip cards are used for ID applications such as access control, company ID cards, or customer cards. All MIFARE chip cards operate at the 13.56 MHz frequency and comply with the ISO 14443 standard.
For MIFARE-based ID systems with RFID encoders, YouCard offers a selection of optimized solutions for HID FARGO, Zebra, Evolis and other card printing systems. MIFARE chip cards are available from us as unencoded blank cards or can be programmed ready for use by our security experts.
