| Reliable contactless clocking and security smart cards allow consistent read range | Tue 23rd August 2011 |
On trial at a Southern-based rail company is a reusable smart card giving commuters an alternative to paper tickets. If the card is successful, it will be rolled out elsewhere. In September the card system will be trialled between Brighton and Seaford stations. Commuters will be able to use the card for season, single and return tickets when the trial starts in September. Rail bosses said there will be other innovations such as rail-bus tickets.
Tensor smart cards or key fobs are used to operate our time and attendance clocking and access control security systems – they can be integrated so one card can be used to both clock in and gain entry. All Tensor contactless smart cards and key fobs use the same well-proven and reliable RF (Radio Frequency) reading technology. This gives a consistent read range which is unaffected by most external conditions. In addition, Tensor can also provide smart card software, which gives you an easy way to professionally produce your own ID cards.
