I-smartphone entsha yakwaGoogle, i-Google Pixel 7, inikwa amandla yi-ST54K ukuphatha izici zokuphepha ze-NFC engathinteki (Near Field Communication), i-stmicroelectronics embulwe ngoNovemba 17.

I-chip ye-ST54K ihlanganisa isilawuli se-NFC ye-chip eyodwa kanye neyunithi yokuphepha eqinisekisiwe, engagcina ngempumelelo isikhala se-Oems futhi yenze ukwakheka kwefoni kube lula, ngakho ithandwa abaklami beselula be-Google.
I-ST54K ihlanganisa ubuchwepheshe bobunikazi ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukuzwela kokwamukela i-NFC, iqinisekisa ukwethembeka okuphezulu kokuxhumana nokuxhumana, ihlinzeka ngolwazi oluvelele lomsebenzisi ngaphandle kokuthinta,
kanye nokuqinisekisa ukuthi ukushintshaniswa kwedatha kuhlala kuvikeleke kakhulu.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-ST54K ihlanganisa isistimu yokusebenza yezokuphepha yeselula ye-Thales ukuze iqhubeke nokuhlangabezana nezidingo zezingcingo ze-Google Pixel 7. Isistimu yokusebenza ihlangabezana namazinga aphezulu kanye nezisekelo zemboni yezokuphepha
ukuhlanganiswa kwamakhadi ashumekiwe e-SIM (eSIM) nezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza ze-NFC ezivikelekile kuseli lokuvikela elifanayo le-ST54K.

UMarie-France Li-Sai Florentin, Iphini Likamongameli, I-Microcontroller kanye neDigital IC Products Division (MDG) kanye noMphathi-Jikelele, i-Security Microcontroller Division, i-stmicroelectronics, uthe: "I-Google ikhethe i-ST54K
ngenxa yokusebenza kwayo okuphezulu, ukusetshenziswa kwamandla okuphansi, nokuphepha okusezingeni eliphakeme kakhulu lokuvikeleka CC EAL5+, iqinisekisa ulwazi olunzulu ngomsebenzisi olungcono kakhulu nokuvikelwa kokwenziwe ngaphandle kokuthinta."

U-Emmanuel Unguran, iPhini Likamongameli Omkhulu weThales Mobile Connectivity Solutions, wengeze wathi: “Sihlanganise i-ST’s ST54K nesistimu yokusebenza evikelekile ye-Thales namandla okwenza kube ngokwakho
isixazululo esiqinisekisayo sokusika esiza ama-smartphone ukusekela inhlobonhlobo yezinsizakalo zedijithali. Isixazululo sihlanganisa i-eSIM, evumela ukuxhumana okusheshayo, nezinsizakalo ze-wallet zedijithali ezifana nebhasi elibonakalayo
amaphasi kanye nokhiye bemoto yedijithali.

I-Google Pixel 7 yaqala ukudayiswa ngo-Okthoba 7. Isilawuli se-NFC esisodwa se-ST54K neyunithi yezokuphepha, kuhlanganiswe nesistimu yokusebenza yezokuphepha ye-Thales, imele isixazululo esivuthiwe sesimanjemanje.
Iselula ye-Android ukuze kuzuzwe umsebenzi othembekile wokungathinteki okuphezulu, osebenza kabanzi kuma-Oems ahlukahlukene kanye nezimo zohlelo lokusebenza.
