LEGIC continues its expansion

Wednesday, November 26, 2008

LEGIC has expanded its partnership network in Europe and South Asia, giving the Switzerland contactless identity card company more outlets for its products. The new partnerships are with Spanish integrated security systems company Electronica Meysh, Austrian card manufacturer Inplastor and Indian credential manufacturer APK-ID.

The agreement with Electronica Meysh will result in the development of integrated security systems using LEGIC contactless smart card technology.

Meysh, accredited by Spain’s Interior Ministry for its security services, plans to use LEGIC’s Master-Token System Control that provides control over all issued identification credentials and smart card applications.

Implastor intends to offer integrated LEGIC-based transponder solutions for access control solutions, time and attendance and cashless payment systems.

Indian company APK-ID will be purchasing LEGIC transponders to provide contactless identification credentials, such as cards, key fobs or wrist bands, all based on LEGIC’s advant multi-application technology. [end]
