ACR88 is a versatile handheld portable reader, having a built-in keypad, LCD, bi-color LED and buzzer features. It can also host the feature of non-volatile memory to give better support to your system. In addition, its on-board memory enables future firmware and application enhancements that guarantee against obsolescence.

ACR88 is designed for multi-applications, e.g. loyalty and healthcare. It is capable of performing secure authentication, displaying rich information from the card and conducting online or offline transactions.

ACR88 is also programmable through ACR88 ScriptBuilder. Developers can now quickly build their own standalone applications according to easy-to-use and well-defined script commands provided by ACS. With ACR88, you can have full rein of realizing the limitless possibilities which your application will bring.

The ACR88 Handheld Portable Software Development Kit (ACR88 SDK) enables effective development of customized applications and systems by using smart cards, card readers, and PCs. It can serve as an ideal training and development tool for those who are interested in knowing smart card technologies.
