AxesNetwork has developed a whole range of unique readers and terminals to meet their clients' specific needs. The readers and terminals are well constructed and robust. They have been developed to insure ease of use as well as easy maintenance and installation. They are compatible with most of the available smart cards in the industry (contact and contactless smart cards). Some readers have been specifically created for outdoor use, made to resist any inclemency.

Among the terminals developed and fabricated by AxesNetwork, we find the following equipment for contact and contactless smart cards:

• Access control reader

Supporting serial communication (RS232/422/485) as well as TCP/IP, AxesNetwork's terminals can integrate easily with existing systems and network architectures.

With their large memory, the terminals can be used independently, disconnected from the network, for a long period of time. This allows for infrastructure downtime while retraining full functionality.

With their robust casing, they can be fixed to the wall or placed on a table. Keypads allow for PIN number entry as well as e-purse selection.
