Introduction to the Product

Smart card technology is a widely used solution in a number of sectors, including security and access control, financial transactions, medical records, loyalty programs, toll and vending collection, network sign-on, and other applications requiring secure information exchange. Contact smart cards feature a chip with contact pads that, when inserted into a Jarltech Smart Card Reader, authenticate the user and securely transfer data between the card and the host computer. By replacing less secure barcode and magnetic stripe cards, smart cards provide businesses with flexible, standardized transactions and robust, tamper-resistant authentication with minimal human input.

Maximize data security and access protection

Smart card readers are designed to work with smart cards, which are plastic cards containing a built-in chip that can be used for a variety of electronic processes, including personal identification, access control, authentication, and financial transactions. These user-friendly devices are designed to read data from both contact and contactless 13.56 MHz smart cards, offering a straightforward and efficient installation process.

Smart card technology is a widely used solution in a variety of applications, including security and access control, financial transactions, medical records, loyalty programs, toll and vending collection, and enterprise or single-user network sign-on. These applications require secure information exchanges, which smart cards are well-suited to provide. Contact smart cards feature a chip area with multiple contact pads that authenticate the user and securely transfer data to the host computer when inserted into a Jarltech Smart Card Reader. These smart cards provide a more secure and reliable alternative to traditional barcode ID and magnetic stripe cards. They enable flexible, standardized transactions and robust, tamper-resistant authentication with minimal human intervention.

Adaptable Peripheral Layout

Smart card readers are available in a variety of models, including contact, contactless, and hybrid versions that combine both types of technology. Contact smart card readers require the user to manually insert the card into the reader. This configuration is typically utilized in applications that require heightened security, including government-issued IDs, e-commerce transactions, campus IDs, network security, vending services, meal plans, loyalty programs, electronic cash, and healthcare cards, among others.

Contactless smart card readers utilize radio frequency technology to communicate with cards in close proximity, eliminating the necessity for physical contact. This feature offers the convenience and speed of not having to insert the card into the reader. Contactless card readers are commonly used for access control to doors and facilities, electronic passports, parking systems, vending machines, and toll payments.
