Prox-DU / Prox-SU   In Production
 
Dual Contact and Contactless reader suing Native PC/SC drivers on both Interfaces  
 

Gemalto offers a diversified series of contact and contactless readers including  two new Products :
  • Prox-DU which combines contact and contactless smart card interfaces in a single cost effective USB reader. it is ideally suited for markets requiring both technologies such as Healthcare, Indentity and Access control. it also provides a smooth migration path from contact to contactless applications.

 

  • Prox-SU is a PC-Link contactless reader with a SAM ( Secure Acess Module) slot. this contact SAM card may be required in some security scheme based on DESFire, MIFARE Plus or Calypso cards.

 

  • Prox-DU and Prox-SU are compliant with the latest industry standards, including current versions of ISO 14443, MIFARE and NFC

 

Features and Benefits
  • Contactless readers that are fully compliant with the CCID USB protocol dedicated to smart card readers.
  • use the native PC/SC drivers that are included in the latest Windows OS versions.
  • Software applications adress contact and contactless cards in the same maner
  • EMV 2000 v4.1 level 1 ( contact )
  • IAS v1.0 (contact)
  • Compliant with FIPS 201 -PIV and ICAO-MRTD (contactless)
