1.0. Introduction
The ACR1281U-C DualBoost II is the second generation of ACS’
ACR128 DualBoost Reader. ACR1281U-C is a dual interface reader
that can access any contact and contactless smart cards following the
ISO 7816 and ISO 14443 standards. This reader makes it possible to
integrate into one device and one card the conventional separate and
independent applications for contact and contactless technologies.
Like ACR128, DualBoost II is PC/SC compliant for both contact and
contactless interfaces. It makes use of high-speed communication for
contactless cards that reaches up to 848 kbps, which makes it suitable
for highly demanding applications. ACR1281U-C also provides
intelligent support for hybrid and combi cards, such as detecting a
contactless card even if it is inserted in the contact card slot. Lastly, ACR1281U-C has a built-in SAM
slot for added security in both contact and contactless applications.
Being the second generation of ACR128, AC1281U-C D
USB firmware upgradability, contact memory card support and extended APDU support. ACR1281UC is an all-in-one, cost-effective and powerful dual interface reader designed to provide you with great
flexibility and convenience. It can be used for online transactions to settle payment using credit card
or for topping up transport contactless cards. It can also be embedded in bigger machines for physical
access systems.
ualBoost II offers additional features such as
