S843 Contactless
Smart Card Reader
The S843 is a contactless smart card reader, with LCD and keypad.
The S843 is able to read Philips® MIFARE® DESFire smart cards.
Designed to meet the increasing demands for high-speed, triple-Data Encryption Standard
(DES) secured contactless smart card solutions, MIFARE DESFire is an ideal fit for
service providers and system integrators looking to develop convenient, multi-functional
smart card-based systems for use in identity, e-government and other uses such as
transportation, city loyalty and e-purse schemes. The chip's core characteristics
- Fast, Innovative, Reliable and Secure, as described by the 'Fire' part of its
name - are supported by a unique combination of a flexible memory organization structure
alongside impressive data transaction rates, making it ideal for secure contactless
smart card services.
MIFARE DESFire operates at a maximum distance of 1"(25mm) and in accordance with
the international standard ISO 14443, perfectly meets mid-end segment needs including
security and cost effectiveness. DESFire cards feature high-speed triple-DES data
encryption co-processor, a flexible memory organization structure, a mutual 3-pass
authentication technique together with a true random number generator and an anti-tear
mechanism to guarantee data integrity during contactless transactions.
The S843 is designed for use with G4Tec’s multiNODE-1000, multiNODE-2 SMD, multiNODE-2000
and multiNODE-2100 controllers, and is compatible with G4Tec’s Symmetry Business, Symmetry Professional,
Symmetry Enterprise and Symmetry Global Software at Version 4.0 and later.
Unlike Wiegand interface readers, the S843 uses secure, bidirectional, Pseudo-Random
supervised communications between the multiNODE controllers and their associated
readers. Both the reader and cable are supervised, and an alarm will sound if the
reader is tampered with
or communications lost.
A distance from the multiNODE controller to the S843 of up to 3000ft (1000m) can
also be achieved.
The S843 includes an LCD for verification of card accepted and of card rejected.
The LCD display is also used for PIN prompt and to give verification of command
functions initiated through the reader keypad.
