Abstract

The original inventors of the smart card more than 30 years ago envisaged it being contactless – or RFID. However, affordable contactless cards took a long time to become available. Dr Peter Harrop of analyst firm IDTechEx, which is currently researching a report called ‘Contactless Cards and Near Field Communication’, tells CTT that in spite of initial pessimism from some critics, the technology has proved itself and volumes of shipments are growing rapidly.
