What is ISO/IEC 15693-2— Contactless vicinity objects about?
ISO/IEC 15693-2 is the second part of an international multi-series standard that deals with cards and security devices for personal identification.
ISO/IEC 15693-2 specifies the nature and characteristics of the fields to be provided for power and bi-directional communications between vicinity coupling devices (VCDs) and vicinity cards (VICCs).
ISO/IEC 15693-2 is intended to be used in conjunction with other parts of the ISO/IEC 15693 series.
Note: ISO/IEC 15693-2 does not preclude the incorporation of other standard technologies on the card as described in Annex A.
Who is ISO/IEC 15693-2— Contactless vicinity objects for?
ISO/IEC 15693-2 on Contactless vicinity objects is useful for:
- Companies that use vicinity cards for their gateway for security
- Residential Societies that use Cards and devices for personal identification
- High-security zonal areas of Military departments
- Manufacturing companies of Vicinity cards and their coupling devices
Why should you use ISO/IEC 15693-2— Contactless vicinity objects?
Contactless card standards cover a variety of types as embodied in close-coupled cards, proximity cards, and vicinity cards. These are intended for operation when very near, nearby and at a longer distance from associated coupling devices, respectively.
ISO/IEC 15693-2 defines the parameters for identification cards and the use of cards for international interchange. It defines the electrical characteristics of the contactless interface between a vicinity card and a vicinity coupling device. The interface includes power and bi-directional communications.
ISO/IEC 15693-2 specifies information of the electrical characteristics of the contactless interface between a vicinity card and a vicinity coupling device. It gives you several modes that have been defined to help you meet different international radio regulations and different application requirements.
