Rosslare unveils new smart card readers

Rosslare has introduced two new versions of its Mifare anti-vandal smart card reader. The new systems introduce what the company says is an industry first: Mifare technology encased in a metal body, combining smart card technology with an anti-vandal metal shield. Both units read the Mifare ID format through 13.56 MHz at up to 45 millimeters (1.8 inches).

The readers support seven programmable proximity card transmission formats, 26 to 40-bit Wiegand or Clock & Data protocols. They feature a 6-wire cable interface for power, data, LED control input and tamper status. In addition to their anti-vandal properties, the robust epoxy-and-metal construction also protects the readers against inclement weather and environments.
