With the Gemalto Prox technology, the contactless technology has now reached the same level of accessibility as the contact one. The application software is dramatically simplified by the use of a high level command set, API library and PC/SC v2.0 driver.

Automatic operating modes such as the card insertion / removal, the PayPass card recognition algorithm or the Mifare^® Application Directory (MAD) are implemented on-board and provide the highest possible performances.
 

The Prox technology is fully compliant with the ISO 14443 A and B standard. The T=CL protocol is handled directly by the reader. The Mifare protocol and security scheme are also supported.

Consequently it also accesses any NFC device operating as a smart card as described in the ISO 21481 standard.

Prox readers are ranked among the very best readers in terms of interoperability, thanks to the unique addition of skills coming from several Gemalto laboratories.
 

Gemalto is recognized as the world?s leading supplier of smart cards readers (Frost & Sullivan 2006). Its customers benefit from its local presence and its internally recognized technical assistance structure.

Gemalto is an active participant to international standardization groups (ISO, PC/SC, USB) and offers its unique experience in consulting services such as: Security schemes, interoperability issues, test specifications and tools, feasibility analysis, etc.
