ACR88
Software Development Kit
The
ACR88 Software Development Kit (ACR88 SDK) enables effective
development of customized applications and systems using smart
cards, card readers, and PCs. Reflecting ACS expertise in smart card
technologies, the kit is a complete package containing all the vital
components required for smart card application development. It is
suitable for beginners to experienced developers. It also serves as
an ideal training and development tool for those who are interested
in knowing more about smart card technologies.
ACR88 is a versatile
handheld portable smart card reader, having a built-in keypad, LCD
display, bi-color LED and buzzer features. It can also host the
feature of non-volatile memory to give better support to your
system. In addition, its onboard memory enables future firmware and
application enhancements that guarantee against obsolescence.
ACR88 is a line of
secured electronic devices of pocket size designed primarily for
multi-application. It is capable of performing secure
authentication, displaying rich information from the card,
conducting online or offline transaction.
Also ACR88 is
programmable through ACR88 Script-Builder. Users can now quickly
build their own standalone applications according to easy-to-use and
well defined script commands provided by ACS. There is no more need
to program the device in lower level languages, nor to deal with
development and other hardware platform dependent issues! With
ACR88, you can have full rein of realizing the limitless
possibilities, which your application will bring.
The development kit is
now priced at only US$249.95
