1.0. Introduction The ACR128 Dual Boost Reader is a secure
economically-designed dual-interface reader that
complies with ISO 7816 Parts 1-3 for contact cards
and ISO 14443 Parts 1-4 for contactless cards. This
dual-interface reader makes it possible to integrate
one device and one card from conventional separate
and independent applications for contact and
contactless technologies. The ACR128 also offers
seamless transition from contact to contactless
platform since it can support existing cards being
used in contact card applications while having the
capability of incorporating contactless cards into
your existing system.
ACR128 is PC/SC compliant for contact and contactless interfaces and makes use of high-speed
communication for contactless cards that reaches up to 848 kbps for DESFire Cards. It offers
intelligent support for hybrid and combi cards as well, detecting a contactless card even if it is inserted
in the contact card slot!
Moreover, ACR128 has a built-in SAM slot for added security. This versatile reader is available in
USB interface, which easily fits into the PC environment as well as other systems. It is ideal for a
broad range of applications, including public transport terminals, physical and logical access controls,
and even vending machines.
