At the end of 1997 Murton Electronics, accredited ISO9002 manufacturer, embarked on a serious program of hardware development of Mifare based Contactless smart card readers. The aim of this development is to establish the company as a world wide provider for Contactless Smart Card technology readers. We currently have a number of different readers available in varying hardware formats for various applications. 

All readers have the following characteristics in common 

• Nominal read/write distance of either 25 mm or 100 mm

• Communications frequency between reader and Contactless card of 13.56MHz 
  Communications baud rate of 106k bits

• All transactions encrypted to DES3 (48 bits) making for extremely secure transactions 
  All readers support anti collision and error detection algorithm allowing multiple cards in reader field without data corruption

• All readers support both the 8k as well as planned 64K cards

• Authentication to ISO/IEC DEC 9798-2 standard 

• CRC check on each transmitted block of data

• Stand alone or networked operation

• Supports Mifare MAD (Mifare Application directory)

• Supports 13 Application sectors per card

• Separate read and write keys for each of the applications on the card.
