2.2.9 ACR38ET DualKey2
To effectively deter hacking or unauthorized access to company assets,
a need for an effective device to guard the physical and logical access is
imminent. With ACR38ET, you can safeguard the access to PCs,
desktops, Intranet & Extranet networks, physical doors, safes,
databanks… etc, with supreme confidence. With that power, ACR38ET
is astonishingly simple – having innate contactless card functionalities
and requiring simply a SIM-sized smart card for contact card
functionalities.
The ACR38ET DualKey2 is an extension of ACR38T SIMTracker II. It
has full ACR38T functionalities with contactless value-added feature.
i) Serves as a plug-in (SIM-sized) card reader:
It is an extremely compact USB full speed device completely compatible
with the ACR38 smart card reader and is designed to access SIM-sized
smart cards (Plug-in card). With a size of only 78.73 mm x 21.50 mm x 11.00 mm, the ACR38ET is highly suitable for
portable applications, as it plugs into the USB port and requires no additional cable or wiring. It also fulfils the GSM
11.11 specification. It is designed for the PC environment, and is an ultimate smart card peripheral for a PC.
ii) Serves as a contactless card:
While the SIM-sized card enables the contact card security benefits, the ACR38ET is virtually a Mifare ® card token.
Make use of this feature, and you may benefit from the speed and convenience contactless technologies can bring.
Since the contact card information is stored in the SIM card, while the contactless card information is stored in the
ACR38ET itself, you can have a highly secure system based on data storage segregation.
ACR38ET DualKey2 is a good quality, reliable and effective reader with designs focused on convenient use and
harmony with other PC peripherals in terms of shapes and colors. It is ideal for electronic commerce, physical access
control, home banking or e-purse facilities, secure computer access, transportation and GSM application tool.
