IRIS Superior
Hybrid Card

IRIS offers high quality hybrid cards, that is the term given to smartcards that contain two chips embedded: a contact smart chip with its contact pads and a contactless smart chip with its antenna – all in a single card.

The contact chip enables the implementation of secure cryptography measures whereas the contactless chip is used for fast transactions such as mass transit. These individual electronic components are not connected to each other even though they share space in a single card. These smartcards are used in access control, electronic purses, credit and other financial cards, travel, ticketing, and other applications where high security is required.
