1. An apparatus comprising:
a secure element including security circuitry configured to process multiple secure transactions;
a wireless interface unit coupled to the secure element and configured to enable the multiple secure transactions via at least one wireless communication;
a resource entity coupled to the secure element and configured to support the multiple secure transactions; and
an activation controller coupled to at least one of the secure element or the resource entity, the activation controller configured to:
determine a geospatial position of the apparatus;
predict an upcoming secure transaction of the multiple secure transactions based on a comparison of the geospatial position of the apparatus to one or more locations that are each associated with at least one secure transaction; and
responsive to prediction of the upcoming secure transaction, issue an activation signal prior to initiation of the upcoming secure transaction.
