FIME is an international provider of test solutions with a strong experience in IC-projects. FIME provides a wide range of services, whether you are an authority in transport, identity, health or banking, a terminal vendor, an e-passport or a card manufacturer.
Transport
The need to move more people more quickly from one place to another – across cities, countries and continents, is the most pressing requirement for transport providers across the world.
With traffic by air, rail, road and other means of public transport increasing steadily as well as security needs, contactless technology helps to:
- Increase ticketing transaction speeds while decreasing queuing times.
- Reduce the threat of fraud
- Decrease your costs
The value of testing
Whether you create contactless transport technology or operate a transport network, you need to provide the user with secure transactions at high speed every time. Independent testing can minimise the risk to all parties concerned in the transport sector, from cards and terminal manufacturers to retailers, and ultimately, the end-user.
By testing products earlier in the development process:
- Enable a rapid, cost-effective market implementation: Prove that your product works before it is operational in a transport environment to minimize investment risk
- Prove conformity of your product
- Ensure your project will meet the requirements of regional or national authorities
- Take advantage of a fully independent lab and get an external expert eye on your products to obtain an objective and useful report
Identity & ePassport
The ID market is evolving very fast. Governments are convinced that they
must secure more personal information. The only way to guarantee a
complete security is to use a smart card and mainly a contactless card.
The implementation of ID will allow a better control of the immigration
as well as official documents falsification. FIME, with its strong
experience in testing and good knowledge of international standards has
been selected by PCCW under Hong Kong immigration department
requirements, and by Saudi Arabia government to test ID cards. FIME has
also developed a complete test bench to verify the functionality as well as
the durability of the ePassport, and is now developing interoperability tests.
Health
FIME is accredited by SESAM VITALE to test for the French health card. A
complete range of tests are available either for cards or terminals in
accordance with SESAM VITALE specifications.
Banking / Payments
Banking / Payments represents a great part of FIME market share. FIME performs
approval testing on EMV products, as well as for MasterCard
Worldwide, Visa, Discover Network or JCB brand products. FIME is
growing and moving with the IC market.
