Trusted technology partnerships

We are trusted partners of Apple and Google, licensed and certified to deliver NFC reader hardware that supports their NFC Wallet programs. We support their protocols, including Apple VAS, Google Smart Tap and Apple ECP2/Access. Our long-established partnership with NXP also enables us to support many RFID and NFC technologies such as MIFARE DESFire, NTAG and MIFARE2Go and includes a deep understanding of the underlying technologies and cryptography used in these products.

Through these partnerships we also help to drive new initiatives, increase industry adoption and develop new protocols and standards.
