BrilliantTS to create multi-payment card with CSR SoC

CSR announced that its CSR1013 technology was used by BrilliantTS, a manufacturer of smart hardware and software products, to create a multi-payment card. This enables credit and debit card payments by connecting to a smartphone using Bluetooth. The CSR1013 Bluetooth Smart System on a Chip (SoC) is available in a 2.4 millimetres x 2.6 millimetres Wafer Level Chip Scale Package (WL-CSP).

BrilliantTS took advantage of the small footprint, ultra-thin form factor and low power consumption of this SoC to develop a smart card that is the same size as a standard EMV (Europay, Mastercard, Visa) card, ensuring it is compatible with existing POS and ATM systems. Designed to reduce the amount of cards in a wallet, the all-in-one smart card can register over 30 cards. This includes both credit and debit as well as supporting public transport travel, magnetic and near field communications (NFC), one time password (OTP) as well as a wide variety of applications, such as security door keys.
