- (1888PressRelease) September 21, 2011 - Advanced Card Systems Ltd. (ACS, wholly owned subsidiary of Advanced Card Systems Holdings Ltd., SEHK: 8210), Asia Pacific's top supplier and one of the world's top 3 suppliers of PC-linked smart card readers (Source: Frost & Sullivan), today launches its ACR1281U-C1 DualBoost II Dual-interface Smart Card Reader , an upgrade of the ACR128 DualBoost. This new reader supports not only the 13.56 MHz ISO 14443 contactless technology, but also the ISO 7816 contact card specification.
ACR1281U-C1 DualBoost II is designed for superior compatibility with existing and future systems. It supports ISO 7816 contact and ISO 14443 Type A and B contactless card standards, as well as Mifare Classic, Mifare Plus and DESFire EV1 cards. It has a built-in Secure Access Module (SAM) slot for enhanced security in contact and contactless card operations. With its intelligent support for hybrid and combi cards, it can detect a contactless card that has been erroneously inserted in the contact card slot. Its PC/SC (Personal Computer/Smart Card) compliance for all contact, contactless and SAM interfaces allows for flexible integration in various platforms and systems. Likewise, with additional features such as firmware upgradability and extended APDU support, the ACR1281U-C1 enables operators easily to implement or upgrade a wide range of smart card applications.
The convenience of using dual interface readers is evident amidst the fast-paced and hectic lifestyles in today's highly modernized world. By performing both contact and contactless smart card-based transactions on a single platform, these devices bring versatility to both system operators and end users who value time and efficiency. Organizations may utilize the reader for granting physical or logical access via its contactless capabilities and at the same time utilize the reader for banking or other transactions requiring a more secure environment via its contact capabilities. Additionally, dual interface readers are important components to bring into reality the emerging "All-in-one" card concept of using a single smart card within a city for multiple applications, including public transportation, micro-payments, customer loyalty programs, e-health and e-government, and network and physical access control.
