FIRST DEPLOYMENT

Bangalore , Nov. 3

Cricket has gone high tech with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) deployed at Jaipur for the semi-final match of the ICC Champions Trophy Cricket.

This is the world's first such deployment for a cricket event.

The Rajasthan Cricket Association in association with Gemini TRAZE RFID, NXP Semiconductors and Smartag has announced the deployment of RFID-ticketing technology within the Jaipur cricket grounds.

The `hands-free' RFID ticketing solution is provided for VIP guests. The guests holding these highly secure tickets simply need to walk through the gate for quick and convenient entry into the stadium.

NXP provides the IC chips based on the proven ICODE technology, while Gemini TRAZE RFID is providing the indigenous reader terminals, "walk thru" gate antenna and the system integration expertise. Smartag provides the tickets into which the chips are embedded. Being adopted on a pilot project basis now, RCA plans to introduce this ticketing experience on a full-fledged basis for future events.
