MiroCard

A brand-new product, bringing new digital services in a smart-card form factor.

Light Bulb

Batteryless

MiroCard's optimized hardware needs very little light to operate, and it wakes up within few seconds.

High Performance

Efficient

The MiroCard can sense its environment and communicate via BLE multiple times per second.

Secure

Secure

When your MiroCard is in your wallet, it cannot be remotely powered, keeping your data safely in pocket.


High-performance
Card-Sized.

Compared to passive RFID cards, the active MiroCard has significantly more processing power and memory. This opens up new, secure applications with web-based authentication.

Pocket-Sized MiroCard

Universal Compatibility Enabled by Bluetooth.

MiroCards can communicate with millions of BLE-compatible devices. Applications can easily integrate services like user authentication or contact tracing using the MiroCard.

Technical Specifications

The MiroCard has conveniently small form factor. Less than 2 mm thick, its surface area (60 mm x 45 mm) is smaller that a credit card. The hardware has been optimized for fast wake-up times, even in indoor lighting conditions. It takes a few seconds for the card to energize and broadcast BLE packets. It can emit up to 16 packets per second, in indoor environments with natural light. The solar cell has a rated lifetime of 10 years, ensuring long-term indoor deployments. For more technical information, please read the MiroCard datasheet. Our documentation center contains additional information to get you started with the MiroCard.
