Information technology provider 509 Indra used the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona to demonstrate its contactless smart card that the company aims to develop into a card that integrates access to all services that require identification, access control or payment. Indra says this will provide increasingly personalised services, whilst offering the convenience of integrating everything into a single medium.

Based on RFID technology, the card has been used by Indra on numerous urban transportation and security projects, and according to Indra, can also be integrated with private services, such as club cards. In the future, mobile phones are expected to act as the medium, with the same functionality as a smart card.
