Why the move to Smart Card Technology? Scroll down for products!

The use of smart card technology improves
transactional efficiencies and security for both the
provider and consumer, at the same time allowing
much more information to be stored on the card�s
chip than on traditional magnetic strips. Smart
cards with contactless interfaces are proliferating
in applications such as credit cards, refillable gift
cards, payment cards for fares and tickets, health
insurance cards, debit cards, and more. Government
documents such as drivers licenses, personal
identification, and passports are all beginning to
incorporate smart card technology.

Contactless smart cards communicate via an
antenna, eliminating the need to insert and remove
the card by hand. When the card gets within a few
inches of a receiver, it will begin communicating.
These cards are ideal for applications in which
card insertion/removal may be impractical or in
which speed is important.


The heart of a smart card is an embedded RFID
chip which replaces the magnetic strip as the data
carrier on the card. Magnetic strip data can be
easily read, written, deleted or changed with off-the-shelf
equipment, making it a poor choice for the
storage of sensitive information. The RFID chip in
the smart card improves security by allowing the
host computer card reader to communicate directly
with the chip, controlling access to data on the card.
