At just 105mm x 70mm x 12mm high, it is easily transportable and fits in even small workspaces.</p> <p>The SR-4300 ExpressCard reader is being bundled with notebooks for applications in federal government agencies. The reader is also suitable for a range of non-government applications, and it is being adopted widely, as the ExpressCard interface displaces PC Cards in new laptop and notebook computers. </p> <p>Cherry&#8217;s new smart card readers are also PC/SC compliant and compatible with ISO7816 (Class A, B, C), so they are suitable for typical smart card applications in single sign-on (SSO) and logical access control. Both SR-4300 and ST-1210 carry 2 year warranties and have a typical operating life of 100,000 card swipes.</p> Fri, 09 Oct 2009 09:49:00 -0400 urn:uuid:a20ef1c1-a41f-4389-8d4d-c158c6f197e3 FIPS 201 Administrator http://www.fips201.com/articles/2009/10/09/cherry-receives-fips-201-certification-on-smart-card-reader News
