Secured payment functionality can be integrated into fashion accessories using the Infineon Technologies’ EMV-based payment solutions for key chains, rings, wristbands or bracelets. The Secora Pay W for Smart Payment Accessories (SPA) combines an EMV chip with the card OS, payment applet as well as the antenna directly on tape. The turnkey solution allows card vendors, device manufacturers, financial institutions or event organisers to quickly and cost-efficiently introduce fashion accessories for payment and even access, says Infineon.

NB-IoT shield enhances ARIS-Edge platform
An NarrowBand IoT shield by Shiratech has been added to the ARIS (Arrow Renesas IoT Synergy) platform, available from the distributor Arrow Electronics. The ARIS-Edge-NB-IoT shield features a Quectel BG96 module and plugs onto the ARIS-Edge-S3 board, which is based on the low-power Renesas Synergy S3A3 microcontroller. These two boards combined, enable users to evaluate streaming of sensor data to Microsoft’s Azure cloud via a cellular connection (2G/3G, NB-IoT or CAT-M1 depending on network availability), easily and fast.
