Expanding its operations in Asia, INSIDE Contactless has opened an office in Bangkok, Thailand to coordinate engineering support for its production subcontractors throughout Asia, including a new secured semiconductor probing facility in Bangkok. The new operations are important to INSIDE as it prepares to increase its production capacity to handle an anticipated demand of up to 500 million MicroPass contactless payment microprocessors annually.
Test engineer Worrawut Poonsuk will operate the office and coordinate production with INSIDE’s manufacturing subcontractors in Asia. Approved by EMVCo, the new subcontracted probing facility will test EMV-certified MicroPass contactless payment microprocessors manufactured in Singapore and destined for INSIDE’s customers across Asia and other parts of the world.
