High Frequency

High-frequency components are an invaluable aid to simplify processes in modern control systems in payment and travel applications - ensuring additional security for customers and institutions alike.

The transponders and readers in this frequency range enable fast data transfer. Moreover, the range for reading and transmitting data can be limited to less than ten centimeters in order to comply with international security requirements.

This technology is used in contactless smart cards, access control systems and applications that require high security standards, such as payment systems, health cards and identification documents.
