Smart cards will keep UAE pupils safe on buses, experts say

Smart card technology will keep schoolchildren safe and better secure residents’ bank details and personal documents. Abdulla Al Junaibi, chief executive of IOT Labs, said the chip technology would be able to help ensure that children were in their classrooms and on school buses. "It has a high security standard and it can be used as a bank card, student ID, military card and for attendance," said Mr Al Junaibi, whose company is part of the Mohammed bin Rashid Establishment for Small and Medium Enterprises Development.
