Smart cards are available in two forms: contact and contactless. Each card contains an internal smart chip that is like a simplistic, miniature computer that can store and process small bits of information. Contact smart cards must physically touch a reader to perform its given task, whether it be gaining access to a computer network or proving a person’s identification. Contactless cards contain a small RFID antenna that uses radio waves to communicate with a reader. They are perfect for frequent, hands-free card use.
AlphaCard has a substantial selection of ID card printers that can encode smart cards. For instance, check out the Zebra ZXP Series 3.
