PRODUCTS & SERVICES



Thanks to its RF expertise gained in the harsh environment of the transportation market, ASK has developed a comprehensive range of products to address the transportation market, access control and multi-purpose applications and e-Government requirements for people identification. ASK has also developed a full range of products for the emerging RFID market for object identification, traceability and secure documents. ASK range includes contactless paper tickets, cards, OEM readers, terminals and RFID labels. ASK contactless products are based on the finalized or ongoing ISO standards, including the Calypso standard for transportation and EPC standard for RFID.
ASK develops the Card Operating System and provides Security Access Modules to certify the secure communication between card and reader.
U-SPID is a range of UHF cards dedicated to the eID market.

It has been developed to answer any application that requires high throughput at a long range such as border crossing, parking and building access control or vehicle identification. U-SPID is based on a unique silver ink printed antenna and UHF die chip process. The range complies with existing ISO 18000-6 type C standards (EPC).
Contacless media shielding : Priva’C. range

ASK’s Priva’C. range is a shielding paper that disrupts the RF functionality of contactless media’s chips. It offers data protection against fraudulent RF reading into contactless cards, tickets and eID documents. Based on ASK technology of silver ink printed antenna on paper, the Priva’C. range comes as a unique solution for privacy protection and a great marketing tool thanks to the graphical personalization feature. Low cost, user-friendly, ultra-thin, the Priva’C. range is also environment-friendly and is available in different form-factors to adapt to current and future needs.

Priva’C.ticket received the Sesames award of the Best Banking / Finance / Retail Application at Cartes 2006.

Dual interface (contact/contactless) microprocessor smart cards

These microprocessor cards have the largest memory capacity and therefore have the greatest functionality. Several cards are offered depending on the specific needs of the client. They are all compatible with one another. Multiple types of applications can be included on a card such as: loyalty schemes, holder information, city services, e-purse, parking and banking applications. Additional memory is also required for greater levels of security.

Two of these cards, GTML2 and CT2000 have been certified EAL1+, an industry first in teleticketing applications.
Mifare cards

These cards are single contactless interface. They use a wired logic chip. ASK offers them as an intermediary solution between the highly functional cards and the low cost paper tickets.
Contactless paper tickets: C.ticket®

In order to address the needs in mass transit for short-term or multiple trip tickets with the best cost vs. security ratio, ASK developed the C.ticket product range. Unlike the plastic-based microprocessor and Mifare memory cards, these tickets are entirely made of paper, providing a new marketing tool for event sponsoring. In addition, they include wired logic chips with five different memory sizes and security levels, so that any application can use them. Operators are now offered a solution to offer all their travellers a contactless medium. C.ticket is also the perfect solution for occasional users such as visitors in entertainment parks, museums, stadiums or corporate buildings.
RFID smart paper labels: C.label®

B
ased on the same unique manufacturing process as C.ticket, the C.label® range of products offers ISO 14443, ISO15693, ISO18000, UHF and EPC compliant RFID smart labels for all identification and tracking applications. These labels are available in different form-factors and sizes in order to be implemented in such diverse applications as tracking cases, pallets and products in supply chain, asset protection in libraries.
Document Security: Smart Paper ID solution

S
mart Paper ID is a specific solution dedicated to passports, visas, ID documents or driving licences. Thanks to microprocessor chips with a memory size up to 64Kbytes of EEPROM and equipped with an ICAO compliant OS, personal data and biometric information can be safely stored next to certificates. SPID is the thinnest e-ID solution available on the market, the RF antenna directly printed onto the substrate offers outstanding mechanical characteristics and adds physical security to the document. SPID has been awarded the IT security Sesame in November 2004. With ID documents based on the ASK Smart Paper ID, citizens and governments can benefit from a state of the art technology contributing to a safer environment for all of us.


Couplers (Reader Interfaces)

In addition to the cards and tickets ASK designs the couplers to communicate with them. Contrary to other "dumb" terminals, ASK's couplers have a built-in coupler controller software supporting the full range of ASK cards and tickets, facilitating the development by system integrators of solutions based on our products. ASK offers a range of hand-held readers and specific hand-held readers C.Scan for RFID data capture.
Contactless card reloading terminal: TEC

TEC is the new generation of Points of Sale terminals to issue and reload contact and contactless smart media for mass transit and multi-application environments.
