Smart Cards

Smart Cards are the core business of United Access. Talking about smart cards we assume intelligent micro-controller cards with cryptographic capabilities and an operating system running on a dedicated security hardware.

This gives a very broad range of controllers and operating systems. Within this large field we focus on independent platforms (not linked to a card manufacturer) mainly for IT security, banking and general purpose. We are not active in the GSM business.

We guarantee intimate knowledge of the components we offer - including all technical support a customer would need to start up a project with one of our products.

Cards, modules and operating systems are only one part - the other side is software (mainly PC based) to talk to the cards and reliable readers to interface the modules. Due to the standardization work of the PC/SC workgroup the main interoperability problems are solved. Today smart cards can be seen as a mature and well established technology with almost no technical risks.
