The ACR38T smart card reader/writer is a USB full speed device which is the interface for the communication between a computer and a smart card. It is designed for a PC environment, ultimate smart card peripheral for a PC.

It is an extremely compact USB device fully compatible with the ACR38U smart card reader and is designed to access SIM sized smart cards (Plug-in card). With a size of only 84 mm x 21.5 mm x 10 mm, the ACR38T is highly suitable for portable applications, as it plugs into the USB port and requires no additional cable or wiring. It also fulfils the GSM 11.11 specification.

Tx Systems is no longer stocking this product. Please contact the new U.S. distributor at www.avidcard.com.

ACR38DT offers both solutions based on SIM-sized combined smart card (contactless and contact card) for logical and physical access control. The ACR38DT contactless/contact dual-interface token is an extension of the ACR38T SIMTracker II. It has full ACR38T functionalities with contactless value-added feature.

These are small and lightweight devices, which can be attached to a key ring so that the consumers can access information on the chip card every moment of the day.

ABR balance readers can be used for checking the balance in any electronic purse card (e.g. Visa Cash, Mondex, Gemplus cash card, Proton card, and Hong Kong 'epark' card for parking meters), prepaid phone cards (e.g. Eurochip 4436), etc.

User can also view the latest transactions on the card, and use the balance reader to show information such as name and telephone number. Adding a balance reader in your smart card project increases the attractiveness and effectiveness of your project.

Balance Readers Sample Pack Includes:

• ABR06BS - 6-digit numeric LCD, CE & FCC Certificate of conformance
• ABR10RS - 10-digit LCD (4 alphanumeric, 6 numeric), CE & FCC Certificate of conformance
• 6 Test Cards - (3) AC0S2 microprocessor-based cards (for ABR10RS), and 3 prepaid phone cards (for ABR06BS)

The BioSIMKey is an extremely compact device integrating a fingerprint scanner and a smart card reader. It is the latest innovation in biometrics and smart card technology through the joint development of STMicroelectronics (ST) and Advanced Card Systems Ltd (ACS). Combining the functions of ACS' versatile ACR30 reader and ST's patented TouchChip technology, the BioSIMKey is a compact USB device that can scan fingerprints and accepts plug-in smart cards. By using fingerprints to replace passwords or PINs, this device harnesses the power of biometrics and smart cards to provide a highly secure, yet convenient and affordable authentication process.

Features:

• Smallest integrated fingerprint scanner/smart card reader in the market today
• High-speed USB interface
• Requires no additional power supply
• Portable and easily transferable from one PC to another


Fingerprint Scanner:


• High-resolution 508 DPI imaging
• Utilizes ST's patented TouchChip technology, resulting in high quality fingerprint images in any environment


Smart Card Reader:


• ISO 7816-3 and PC/SC compliant
• Supports all micro-controller cards, with T=0 or T=1 protocols

The development kit includes:

• BioSIMKey ADT60 Finger Print Scanner and Plug-in Card reader
• 10 ACOS2 8Kbyte MCU cards (includes 5 smart cards and 5 plug-in cards)
• ACS BioSIMKey installation and operation CD-ROM
• 1 plug-in card converter (converting smart card format to plug-in card format)

The AET63 BioTRUSTKey combines the highly successful silicon fingerprint sensor with a smart card reader to achieve ultra-secure authentication. It is a fully integrated fingerprint-based biometric subsystem, combining fingerprint sensing and algorithm processing in a single, compact device. All biometric algorithm processing is carried out in a custom chip integrated at the back of the silicon fingerprint sensor.

Features:

• Integrated fingerprint scanner/smart card reader
• USB Plug and play interface
• Requires no additional power supply
• High-resolution 508 DPI imaging
• Utilizes CMOS active capacitive pixel sensing technology, resulting in high quality fingerprint images in any environment
• The template extraction and matching algorithms run within the device itself - not in the PC
• Large active sensor size - 12.8mm x 18.0mm ISO 7816-3 and PC/SC compliant
• Supports all micro-controller cards, with T=0 or T=1 protocols
• Support one SAM card (optional)
