FAQ
What is a MIFARE Ultralight® C card?
MIFARE Ultralight® C is a low-cost contactless smart card operating at 13.56 MHz based on ISO/IEC 14443A standard.

It is designed for short-term and high-volume applications such as event tickets, public transport, loyalty programs, and basic access control systems.
What makes MIFARE Ultralight C different from other Ultralight cards?
The key difference is its security level.

MIFARE Ultralight C supports 3DES cryptographic authentication, which provides stronger protection compared to standard MIFARE Ultralight variants.

This makes it more suitable for applications requiring anti-counterfeiting protection.
What is the memory size of MIFARE Ultralight C?
MIFARE Ultralight C has a total memory of 192 bytes (1536 bits).
This memory is divided into pages and can be used for:
ID storage
Ticket data
URL/NFC content
Authentication data
What frequency does MIFARE Ultralight C use?
It operates at 13.56 MHz, which is compatible with:

NFC-enabled smartphones
HF RFID readers
ISO/IEC 14443A systems
What are the typical applications of MIFARE Ultralight C cards?
MIFARE Ultralight C cards are widely used in:

Public transportation tickets
Event entry tickets
Disposable or single-use passes
Loyalty and coupon systems
Device authentication
Low-cost access control systems
Is MIFARE Ultralight C secure?
Yes, compared to basic Ultralight versions, it offers enhanced security.

It uses 3DES mutual authentication, which helps prevent cloning and unauthorized duplication.

However, it is still considered a mid-level security chip, not a high-security solution like MIFARE DESFire EV2/EV3.
What is the read range of MIFARE Ultralight C?
The typical read range is 2–10 cm, depending on:

Reader power
Antenna design
Environmental conditions
Can MIFARE Ultralight C cards be customized?
Yes. We support full OEM customization, including:

Full color printing
