More than just a SIM
card reader, the ACR100 SIMFlash (CCID) also has a built-in 1-GB flash
memory. Designed both to access SIM cards and for data or application
storage, it is ideal for GSM solutions such as GSM management software
and VoIP applications, electronic payment systems, e-commerce, home
banking, transportation, and computer/network access.
i) Serves as a Plug-In (SIM-Sized) Smart Card Reader:
The ACR100 SIMFlash (CCID) is a reliable and cost-effective smart card
reader for security-related applications. It is a USB full-speed
plug-in card reader that, with the paired mass storage, enables you to
do more than simply back up and manage your SIM card information on
the PC. It supports most memory cards, MCU cards with T=0 and T=1
protocols, and GSM cards conforming to Spec 11.11.
ii) Serves as a Mass Storage Device:
Furthermore, the ACR100 SIMFlash (CCID) is also a mass storage device.
Being highly portable - with a dimension of 77 mm x 23 mm x 10 mm -
makes it a perfect companion wherever you go. There is no need for
additional cable and power supply as well since the device is
bus-powered. Various options for partitioning the flash drive are also
available - CD-ROM, boot disk and public, and lock and hidden areas
can all be realized in the same device.
iii) Plug and Play Feature
More than being Mass Storage Device Class compatible, the smart card
reader component of the ACR100 SIMFlash (CCID) has USB CCID
(Chip/Smart Card Interface Devices) compliance, which reduces driver
installation issues.
