FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
- Q: How does the MIFARE Plus®X 2k’s AES encryption differ from standard MIFARE cards?
A: Unlike standard MIFARE cards (which use only CRYPTO1), the MIFARE Plus®X 2k adds AES-encrypted sector trailers, providing enhanced protection against advanced cloning attacks and unauthorized data access.
- Q: Can I request a sample to test compatibility with my existing system?
A: Yes, we offer free samples (up to 5 units) for compatibility testing. Contact our sales team to request samples.
- Q: What is the lead time for bulk custom orders?
A: Standard bulk orders (unprinted) take 7-10 working days; custom printed orders take 10-14 working days. Lead times may vary for complex customizations (e.g., dual frequencies, holograms).
- Q: Do you support dual-frequency integration with UHF RFID?
A: Yes, we can integrate the MIFARE Plus®X 2k (HF) with UHF RFID chips to create multi-frequency cards for systems that require both technologies.
