MIFARE Plus® EV2 Cards

The AES-Powered Migration Card That Keeps Your MIFARE Classic Infrastructure Intact

Product Overview

MIFARE Plus® EV cards are protected contactless smart credentials engineered for organisations that need to transition from established MIFARE Classic installations without replacing the entire infrastructure. They are intended for access management, intelligent city services, corporate identification, hospitality, loyalty programmes, and comparable large-scale credentialing initiatives where interoperability, security, and managed migration are all essential. NXP positions MIFARE Plus as a product family that adds protection to smart city services while facilitating a smooth, cost-efficient upgrade route for current contactless infrastructures.

For sourcing teams and solution suppliers, this card helps address a frequent challenge: how to shift from older, low-protection implementations to more robust AES-based verification while safeguarding existing reader investments and streamlining rollout. MIFARE Plus EV2 supports reverse compatibility with MIFARE Classic EV1 products, and it permits a phased migration to higher security tiers instead of forcing a complete system overhaul.

As an OEM manufacturer, we deliver completely tailorable cards for system integrators, wholesalers, solution vendors, and brand proprietors who require uniform quality, dependable encoding, and trustworthy volume manufacturing for recurring deployments.

Core Features

1. Factory-Direct Pricing
Engage directly with the manufacturing origin, circumventing trading firms and intermediary surcharges. This maintains your sourcing costs at a minimum and pricing completely clear throughout every project phase.

2. Agile Prototyping & Global Market Synchronisation
We operate swiftly, free of administrative holdups. Fast sample production and iteration cycles assist international engineers and procurement teams to test, verify, and deploy solutions at the pace of the market.

3. Complete In‑House Oversight & Rigorous Quality Assurance for Lot Uniformity
From base materials to finished card, every phase runs within a single closed‑cycle system. Fully automated inspection and read/write verification ensure virtually defect‑free output and stable quality lot after lot — because consistency matters as much as expense in recurring orders.

4. High‑Volume Capacity & Adaptable Scalability
Backed by a demonstrated capability of 12 million units monthly, we possess the industrial strength for extensive worldwide deployments. Yet, our lines stay nimble enough to seamlessly accommodate your small initial pilot batches.

5. Supply‑Chain‑Ready Manufacturing
We go beyond simple enclosures. Our engineering team provides in‑depth technical customisation, including intricate data encoding (such as MIFARE® variants), precision antenna tuning, and hardened encapsulation for challenging, application‑specific environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide samples and complimentary samples?
Yes. We accommodate sample requests for product evaluation and compatibility testing. Complimentary samples may be available depending on the project, quantity, and cooperation scope.

What is your minimum order quantity and lead time?
MOQ and lead time depend on the card type, personalisation level, printing requirements, and encoding needs. Unprinted cards can typically be delivered faster than fully customised printed and encoded cards.

Can you supply product testing and lot traceability?
Yes. We support production testing, encoding verification, and lot traceability records. If needed, we can provide a test summary or inspection record for your internal review.

How do you manage quality concerns?
If a quality issue is reported, we review the lot details, inspect the production record, and identify the root cause. Depending on the case, we can support replacement, rework, or corrective action based on the agreed terms.

Is the product compatible with existing infrastructure?
MIFARE Plus® EV2 is engineered to facilitate transition from numerous MIFARE Classic® installations, however compatibility hinges on reader firmware, security configuration, and backend architecture. Sample testing prior to volume rollout is strongly advised.
