Gemalto
has developed two types of Prox readers:
The dual interface smart card reader (Prox-DU), combines contact and contactless smart card interfaces in one cost-effective reader. It also conveniently provides a smooth migration path from contact to contactless smart card applications.
The contactless reader with SAM slot (Prox-SU) is a PC-link contactless reader equipped with the added security of a built-in Secure Access Module slot. This type of reader addresses applications that need a contact SAM card as required in specific security schemes.
Prox-DU and Prox-SU use the native PC/SC drivers that are included in the latest OS versions and are thus directly operational after plug-in. Both readers do not require driver installation. Gemalto's Prox readers are easy to integrate into any PC environment and other systems
