RFID-based national ID Cards, electronic permanent resident cards, etc.

the contactless payment industry, in automated fare collection, loyalty
programs, and multi-application cards.
'Wire-embedding has been one of the drivers of success for RFID in several
application fields. We are proud to have reached the production milestone
of one billion products with wire-embedding and would like to sincerely
thank our customers and business partners for their support and
