ACR890

All-In-One Mobile Smart Card Terminal

ACR890 All-In-One Mobile Smart Card Terminal is a next-generation smart card reader with PIN-pad. It offers support for contact, contactless, and magnetic stripe cards, and enables GPRS/3G, Wi-Fi, USB, and serial port connectivity. The device comes with a built-in thermal printer, speaker, touchscreen LCD, and high-resolution color display. ACR890 will therefore be suitable for organizations transitioning from contact and magnetic stripe cards to contactless cards, or for organizations that combine different interfaces for their applications (e.g. magnetic stripe and contact, magnetic stripe and contactless, contact and contactless). Because of the features of this high-performing, standalone device, it can meet the requirements of more exacting clients and environments.

About ACR890

The ACR890 is a new generation PIN-pad reader from ACS. It incorporates a contact, contactless, and magnetic card reader to help older technology systems (e.g. magnetic stripe-based) to transition to smart cards. ACR890 is built to handle complex applications with its fast processing speed and large memory. This terminal is also designed for mobile environments, enabling wireless connectivity through Wi-Fi, GPRS, and 3G communications.

Among the practical features of the ACR890 is its ability to print anywhere via its built-in thermal printer. In addition to its large internal memory, ACR890 also allows for memory expansion through a micro SD card slot, to enable higher memory allocation for application and transaction data. With its 240x320 3.5" color LCD display, the ACR890 shows images in remarkable detail and allows the user to easily navigate the display on its touchscreen LCD. The terminal also features a built-in speaker for additional audio experience.

The ACR890 is a standalone terminal with advanced capabilities to suit multifaceted applications, may they be in the transportation, government, healthcare, banking or retail sector.
