October 01, 2009 - Advanced Card Systems Ltd. (ACS, wholly owned subsidiary of Advanced Card Systems Holdings Ltd., SEHK: 8210), a global supplier of card and reader technologies, launches its new ACOS smart card – the ACOS3X eXpress Microprocessor Card. This new card is the fruit of ACS’s continual efforts in developing its COS (Card Operating System) technologies and was achieved by enhancing the security level and increasing the reading/writing speed of the cards.
The ACOS3X contains a powerful microprocessor and is fully compatible with the other members of the ACOS3 product line. The ACOS3X card supports a wide range of applications such as loyalty program, parking registration, network access control and electronic purse.
Furthermore, ACOS3X is built with a hardware crypto-engine which substantially shortens the processing time of crypto commands like Secure Messaging. The processing time of ACOS3X is less than 1/3 of that of standard microprocessor cards, improving the security of various smart card applications. Together with the larger memory size of 256K EEPROM and the support of a maximum of 128 user files, ACOS3X is believed to offer you the most secured and flexible solution for your smart card applications.
ACS ACOS Smart Card“We foresee that there will be a substantial increase in the demand of the types of smart cards in our product portfolio in the coming years,” said Gilbert Leung, Sales Director of ACS. “We exert continuous efforts on the development of ACOS. We strongly believe that with our expertise in COS development and with more resources allocated to it, we can address better the needs of our customers and work together with them to make their smart card applications successful.”
