Introduction

Radio Frequency Identification(RFID) chip can be found on the back of the card. It uses Near Field Communication fitted to most phones to communicate.

How it Works

It works by your reader (a phone in most cases) emitting a very low-frequency magnetic field called inductive coupling.

Range

Our card has an available range of a few centimeters. Some smartphones have lower than average inductive coil to sense the NFC chip, in which case the card will have to physically touch the card.

Read our short operations guide to find out more about how to use your card.

Wave Card is compatible with most modern phones. NFC technology is the same hardware used to allow your phone to make wireless payments. Any phone that supports Google Pay, or Apple Pay will allow our card to interact with it. This includes iPhones and Android phones. There is no native support for desktop machines unless they’re equipped with an NFC scanner peripheral.

Interruption

Wave Card will not interfere with or interrupt other wireless cards or. As it is made primarily out of stainless steel, it naturally blocks signals trying to transverse through it, so when you’re using Wave Card, scan with the chip on the backside of the card.

Tracking

The physical card itself is not fitted with any GPS device, instead, we can track a network of locational data through the phone that it was interacted with.

Reading/Writing

Your Wave Card has been set up to be read-only. If your card has been rewritten by a third-party device, it will be invalid and you will sacrifice your rights to our warranty replacement.
