Interoperable
Because it complies with the ISO 14443 A/B/B', ISO 15693, ISO 18092, the full range of ETSI specifications for NFC (SWP and HCI), microread™ enabled devices are compliant with the extensive installed base of contactless applications (tags and readers) worldwide.
Field-proven
In the fast-growing NFC market, microread™ emerges as a small footprint, low-cost, low-power, versatile solution.
Microread™ benefits from three previous designs, making it a mature and optimized solution integrated in a large number of mobile handsets from Tier 1 and Tier 2 vendors.
A comprehensive set of host interfaces and a full offering of middleware for handsets radically ease NFC integration.
Flexible
Building up on ETSI's NFC-related standards such as SWP and HCI, microread™ routes applications wherever they reside in a device thus enabling different architecture configurations. It can, for example, act as a router and its powerful command set allows all elements of the chosen architecture to interact in a controlled manner (SIM, SE, SD card, Application Processor and NFC interfaces)
This allows for implementation of various business models by mobile operators and third parties.
Feature rich
Microread™ embeds the most advanced feature set in a single NFC chip. By supporting all ISO types in 14443 and 15693, microread™ makes NFC devices extremely versatile.
This allows for an unmatched range of applications:
  • Mobile payment, access control or ticketing, where a NFC-enabled device is presented to a reader
  • Data capture and interactions, i.e. reading a smart tag on a poster for service discovery.
  • Peer-to-peer transactions between two NFC-enabled devices, i.e. downloading music, exchanging addresses.
  • Connectivity association (easier and secure pairing) between Bluetooth, Wifi and UWB devices.
On top of the common NFC use cases, service providers can add, thanks to the ISO 15693 compatibility, a broad new set of applications (most corporate access control, parking access, logistic management, …).
Unrivalled customer experience
As NFC is all about convenience, microread™ embeds unique, industry acclaimed, features radically easing the user's life. Battery off ensures that you can take your train back home even when your battery is down.
Low power tag detection manages a continuous polling mode enabling the reading of a smart poster or tag without having to push a button or browse a menu and such with a minimal impact on the handset autonomy.
