Swedish producer of contactless smart card readers and terminals 760 Arcontia International has extended its range of smart card read­ers with the new ARC2325 and ARC2335 devices for cashless ticketing and payment applications.

Both readers are based on 13.56MHz contactless technology and are fully com­patible with the entire Mifare family, includ­ing Mifare Plus, Mifare DESFire EV1 and Mifare UltraLight C, as well as supporting Smart MX and Calypso. The readers also come with a comprehensive software devel­opment kit for quick and easy development and integration, as well as supporting the latest Mifare AV1 and Mifare AV2 SAMs.

The ARC2325 and ARC2335 are com­pact ISO/IEC 14443 A/B readers designed for fast ticket validation, travel card reload and contactless payments across public transport.

The flexible and rugged case of the ARC2325 is easily fitted around a pole for front and rear entry/exit validation onboard buses. Its RS485 communication enables easy integration into a variety of smart card applications, offering a flexible product plat­form that can easily be customised to meet specific market requirements.

The ARC2335 has a graphical LCD display for easy user interface and is housed in a plastic case that is simple to install on buses, trains and trams, as well as on sta­tion platforms and at point-of-sale sites, operating as a slave device with different e-ticketing and e-payment applications. The reader is a cost-efficient solution for systems integrators and solution providers looking for a rugged and reliable device, and with the new RS485 interface, can be integrated with a variety of applications.
