April 18, 2017

HONG KONG, 18 April, 2017 - Advanced Card Systems Ltd. (ACS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Advanced Card Systems Holdings Ltd., SEHK: 2086), Asia Pacific's top supplier and one of the world's top 3 suppliers of PC-linked smart card readers (Source: Frost & Sullivan), launched ACR39U-N1 PocketMate II. This addition belongs to the next generation of ACS’s high-speed ACR39U smart card readers. It uses a standard USB Type-A connector and has the innovative PocketMate swivel design.

ACR39U-N1 is no larger than a USB stick, but is able to support full-sized contact smart cards with a simple swivel motion. Its USB Type A connector is a widely held standard that ensures compatibility with most devices. The reader is PC/SC and CCID-compliant.

ACR39U-N1 Pocketmate II is a plug and play reader which is easily integrated into different operating systems such as Windows®, Linux® and Mac OS®. In addition, it may be used on mobile devices running on Android™ versions 3.1 and later.

“ACR39U-N1 accommodates many devices nowadays which stick to the standard USB Type A connector,” says Gilbert Leung, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing Communications. “This wide-ranging support is combined with the powerful ACR39 core, which provides high performance for demanding solutions such as the PIV (Personal Identity Verification) card of the United States Federal government, access control, online banking, and so forth.”
