2. Techn. Specs

with/without NFC, different RFID frequencies, various functions

3. Installation

via syringe or via «push-it-under-the-skin

xNT: 13,56MHz (RFID + NFC)

xEM: 125kHZ (RFID); 134,2kHz

(RFID)

xIC: 13,56MHz (RFID + NFC)

special compatibility

xBT: 134kHz (RFID + Body-

temperature)

Myths & fairy tales …

▪No, you cannot be located and located via the implant!

▪There are no problems at airport security.

The implants are too small to be recognized!

▪No, public reading of data is impossible!

The implants can be secured by a password!

▪The implants are passive, a power supply is not necessary!

In the future, we will be able to

connect our brain directly to the

Internet via the implant: from

«Internet-of-Things» to «Internet-

of-Us».
