NASA Selects Philips MIFARE Contactless Chip Technology
Philips has announced that NASA has selected its MIFARE contactless chip technology for use in smart cards enabling physical site access.
A field trial is planned at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama this summer, with potential expansion to 2,000 employees. If the trial is successful and approval is secured from the Office of Management and Budget, NASA plans to deploy more than 100,000 smart cards before the end of the 2005 fiscal year. This number includes cards for contractors and government employees.
