The new MIFARE DESFire EV2 platform further increases flexibility and is also available on NXP’s SmartMX secure smart card platform used e.g. for contactless bank cards and secure elements for the use with NFC enabled mobile devices providing unrivaled end user experience in mobile ticketing.

Compared to MIFARE DESFire EV1 a MIFARE DESFire EV2 chip can hold as many different applications as the memory size supports and new applications can be loaded after the card has been deployed into the market.

A purse can even be shared between applications, for greater interoperability.

For a truly convenient touch-and-go experience, MIFARE DESFire EV2 offers increased operating distance compared to previous versions.

The 70 pF option enables read range optimizations of small antenna form factors.

MIFARE DESFire EV2 delivers the perfect balance of speed, performance and cost efficiency.

Its open concept allows for future seamless integration of other media such as smart paper tickets, key fobs and mobile ticketing based on Near Field Communication (NFC) technology.

It is also fully compatible with the existing MIFARE reader hardware platform.

With MIFARE DESFire EV2, data transfer rates up to 848 Kbit/s can be achieved, making fast data processing possible.

Upgrade to DESFire EV2 credentials and you’ll not only enhance your overall security, it will also make it easier for you and your staff to get on with business as usual.
