Microread®, an INSIDE Contactless designed chip, is an innovation designed to catalyze service innovation and new revenue streams by allowing mobile phones, PDAs and other consumer electronic devices to communicate at short distance. The consumer just has to touch or almost touch his mobile phone for instance with another mobile phone to instigate a transaction. NFC technology translates a deliberate consumer gesture into a trigger for a complex and secure electronic transaction

The Microread® circuit from INSIDE Contactless further than any circuit designed to date, not only does it integrate all the RF options within the NFC specifications, it also has additional features designed to extend the range of possible applications.

• Battery off operation to allow transaction when device battery is discharged
• Single Wire Protocol to allow efficient communication with SIMs in mobile phones
• Flexible router architecture to allow integration in several types of device architechture
• RFID operation for access control application
