Performance Highlights
The EV1 chip supports the Fast Read command, enabling multiple pages to be read in a single interaction - perfect for high-throughput ticketing and fast access control systems.
Built-in 32-bit password protection, OTP (One-Time Programmable) lock bits, and three 24-bit counters help prevent unauthorized rewrites and enable usage control (e.g., one-entry or multi-ride logic).
Fully compliant with NFC Forum Type 2 specifications, MIFARE Ultralight EV1 tags can be recognized by most NFC smartphones, readers, and POS terminals - making it ideal for mobile ticketing and interactive applications.
Compared with MIFARE Classic or DESFire chips, the Ultralight EV1 delivers sufficient memory and essential security at a fraction of the cost - ideal for high-volume, short-lifecycle applications.
