There are several benefits of smart cards that are directly related to the applications programmed for use on a single card, and the volume of information.
They can provide identification, data storage, authentication and application procession in a convenient card that fits in a wallet.
Smart cards that are contact/contactless can be programmed with various banking credentials, driver’s license/public transport entitlement, medical entitlement, club memberships, loyalty programs and more!
A great tool is the Electrone Vega 7000 terminal that includes both contact and contactless smart card readers, along with a 32 bit micro processor and a large display, a 3” thermal printer, a magnetic card reader and multiple ways to use the application for communicating.
The Electrone Vega 7000 is extremely flexible and offers many great benefits of smart card technology that are an ideal combination for any customer application or business!
