ACR33U-A1
SmartDuo Smart Card Reader

ACR33U-A1 SmartDuo is a sleek and stylish device that features innovative dual slots to accommodate two smart cards simultaneously. This dual slot solution enables cost-effective, time-efficient and secure implementation of smart card applications in various fields.

ACR33U-A1 SmartDuo's dual slot feature allows users to operate two smart cards at the same time, enabling efficiency and enhanced security in smart card applications. For example, one slot can hold the smart card of an authorized personnel managing a particular smart card-based service, while the other slot can be used by various individuals availing of such service. Through ACR33U-A1 SmartDuo’s dual slot solution, the need to pull out and reinsert the personnel’s card to accommodate a user’s card is eliminated, resulting to smoother and uninterrupted flow of transactions.

Aside from its dual slot feature, ACR33U-A1 SmartDuo also has three SAM (Secure Access Module) card slots. This feature enhances device security, for applications requiring more stringent security mechanisms.

Finally, ACR33U-A1 SmartDuo is a PC/SC and CCID-compliant device, making it easy to install and use in PC environments.
