Overview
ACR88 is a versatile handheld portable smart card reader, with built-in keypad, LCD, 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 (e.g.: loyalty, healthcare). It is capable of performing secure authentication, displaying rich information from the card, and conducting both online or offline transaction.
ACR88 is user-programmable through the ACR88 ScriptBuilder. Users can now quickly build their own standalone applications according to easy-to-use and well-defined script commands provided by ACS. These eliminate both the need to program the device in lower level languages, and the need to deal with development and other hardware platform dependent issues! With ACR88, you can have full rein on realizing the limitless possibilities that your application would bring.
