The "FeliCa", contactless IC card technology consolidates a wide variety of applications, such as transit ticket, e-money, employee ID, membership card and access control on a single card.
Using multi-application functions which FeliCa features, different applications can be processed with a single card.
The RC-S885 is a high-security, high performance next-generation FeliCa card that offers highly improved security and higher processing capacity in comparison to the conventional cards*.
* Compared to SONY RC-S860 series.

- Contactless communication between the Reader/Writer and the card is activated by electromagnetic waves radiated from the Reader/Writer antenna. FeliCa technology complies with ISO/IEC 18092 communication method.
- The card is durable and thin with the size conforming to ISO /IEC 7810ID-1.
- The basic material of the card is PET plastic that can be easily recycled and exerts minimal adverse influence on the environment even when incinerated.

- Fast Processing Speed
RC-S885 can complete all card detection, mutual authentication and read/write transactions, including encryption and decryption within only 0.1 seconds with Reader/Writer. The new Ferroelectric Random Access Memory (FRAM) dramatically improves*1data- processing speed for faster read/write results.
The new card supports both the conventional data transfer rate of 212kbps and the double data transfer rate of 424kbps*2. The card automatically adjusts both the incoming and outgoing data transfer rate according to the speed of the Reader/Writer to provide the high speed communication in a seamless manner.
*1 Compared to SONY RC-S860 series.
*2 Available only when the Reader/Writer to be used also accommodates the 424kbps transfer mode. - High Security
RC-S885 is a secure IC card based on a secure IC chip (RC-S962) with superior tamper resistant characteristics. The IC chip hardware and the IC chip including both hardware and software are certified to ISO/IEC 15408 ("Common Criteria for Security Evaluation"), levels of assurance: EAL4+ and EAL4 respectively. - Multi-Application
FeliCa offers multiple services on a single card. The card can be used in various ways such as transit ticketing, employee ID, access control and e-money for shop, restaurants and vending machines.
Additionally, the card can be used for network access control. - Better Data Rewrite Endurance
RC-S885 offers drastically improved memory performance* (with a data rewrite endurance of 10 billion cycles), for high-frequency use.

| *1 | The communications distance varies according to the user environment. Please note that the specifications reflect the distance in an ideal environment without the effects of peripheral radiofrequencies and/or metal obstructions. Furthermore, based on the Reader/Writer antenna and RC-S885 being parallel to each other, and when both of the median points are located on the same perpendicular linear plane. |
| *2 | Due to the field intensity of Reader/Writer, the operating temperature/humidity may vary. |
| *3 | Available only when the Reader/Writer to be used also accommodates the 424kbps transfer mode. |
