Contactless card readers and writers (encoders) represent the latest technology in terms of data reading and encoding plastic cards.
Particularly easy to use, no special manipulation is required to read or write a card: just place the card a few centimetres from the reader and the exchange can be realized.
Very resistant: no physical contact between the card and the reader, so no mechanical wear at all.
Low cost solutions: their cost has lowered substantially in the past years, and today they are available at prices comparable to those of magnetic stripe readers or smart contact readers.
ISO 14443 A: mainly a Philips standard and the most widespread worldwide, particularly in public transportation applications.
Transaction speed: 106Kbps. Max. reading distance 10cm.
Vendors: Philips, Infineon.
ISO 14443 B: differs from -A standard for its faster exchange rate. Therefore it is preferred for use with microprocessor chips.
Transaction speed: 847Kbps. Max. reading distance 10cm.
Vendors: Inside Contactless, ST Microelectronics.
ISO 15693: this standard is used for applications where reading distance is the dominant criteria (50 cm approximately).
Transaction speed: 26 Kbps. Max. reading distance 50cm.
Vendors: Texas Instruments, Inside Contactless, Philips Icode SLI.
