“Watkins Glen International is certainly one of the most photogenic facilities in the world with the historic track, Seneca Lake, and we’re proud to showcase that.” “It’s great to add this unique enhancement to the media covering our events, especially with one of the world’s most iconic photography brands in Sony,” said WGI President Michael Printup. In addition, Sony will have the naming rights and branding to the photographers room in the Media Center and official Sony-WGI photography vests. It is compliant with the NFC-F standard and provides high levels of performance, flexibility and security in public transportation, e-money payment, access management, event ticketing, and customer loyalty programs.Watkins Glen International announced today that Sony Electronics has become the Official Camera of The Glen. Its extremely low-power architecture helps improve communication speed and reliability in contactless applications, in which the battery-less card circuitry is powered by absorbing RF energy from the reader.įeliCa is a contactless RFID smart-card system developed by Sony Corporation that is in widespread use in Japan and other Asian countries.
The ST31 platform has been designed to comply with the most stringent security requirements (EMVCo and Common Criteria EAL6+ security certifications) and cryptography standards (DES, AES, RSA and ECC). ST's ST31 chip-card microcontrollers are built on the ARM ® SecurCore™ SC000™ processor that delivers outstanding computing performance and energy efficiency with support for optional MIFARE™ libraries and Calypso transport-card standards enhancing multi-application versatility. “Our cooperation with Sony further strengthens ST’s position in the digital security arena, facilitating the deployment of secure and convenient contactless solutions to tech-savvy markets like Japan and Asia,” said Marie-France Florentin, General Manager, Secure Microcontroller Division, STMicroelectronics. “This technological advancement will increase convenience for Japanese consumers by expanding the opportunities to use their payment cards in many different settings and situations with unprecedented ease.” “The unique advantages of ST’s secure microcontroller have enabled us to integrate, in a highly secure and cost-effective manner, standard payment and FeliCa-based applications in a single chip,” said Kazuyuki Sakamoto, Senior General Manager, FeliCa Business Division, Sony Corporation. In addition to multi-payment functionality, the ST chip-card technology ensures stable transaction speeds, robustness, and ease of use. Slated to arrive on the market in H1 2016, the new smartcard payment solution introduced by Sony will be the first in Japan to combine both the latest VISA/MasterCard/JCB dual-interface payment schemes and the FeliCa-based payment applications in a single chip. This enables Sony and other OEMs to develop and deploy contactless multi-application payment cards that can operate across different standards, infrastructures, and geographies. It is the only device available today that can automatically detect and handle different types of radio-frequency communication used by the card readers 1. The market’s most advanced dual-interface (contact / contactless) secure microcontroller, ST’s ST31G480 combines high computing power and energy efficiency with superior flexibility and interoperability.
STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications and a top-three provider of smartcard ICs, today announced that its latest dual-interface secure microcontroller has been selected by Sony to power the new micropayment-enabled cards that will reach Japanese consumers by H1 2016. Unique auto-detection RF capabilities enhance card-transaction ease and speed Geneva / ST technology enables Japan's first payment cards with multiple contactless applications in a single chip | STMicroelectronics’ Secure Microcontroller Selected by Sony for Next-Generation Payment Cards in Japan
