1.0. Introduction
The ACR880 GPRS Portable Smart Card Terminal is a secured and portable smart card terminal that safeguards and streamlines various transactions. This innovative device is capable of facilitating secured mutual authentication between a smart card and a reader, detailed multi-layered information from the cards based on embedded access rights, and transactions through both public and private network infrastructures. It can offer solutions to different applications including e-Healthcare, e-Government, e-Banking and e-
Payment.
ACR880 may function with or without its cradle, thus giving users the option to use it either as a powerful desktop device with other peripherals like magstripe readers and thermal printers, or as a standalone and handheld reader that may be used in field works.
It has Secure PIN Entry (SPE) to protect every PIN code entered into the device from security attacks while it is on desktop mode. It also has GPRS connectivity to allow data transmission even with the reader on standalone mode.
Other features of ACR880 include a dual smart card interface, contactless card reader module, USB and RS232 connectivity, integrated TCP/IP networking support, multiple SAM slots, a 128 x 64 high resolution graphical LCD, a user-friendly 20-button keypad, multiple bi-colored status LEDs, a highlyaudible speaker and a real-time onboard clock. It allows addition of features like high-speed Wi-Fi access and enables firmware upgrades to be able to adapt to the changes of future security systems.
