Development and integration
- Unified SpringProx API, available in the developer's kit (SDK for K531&K632) ; the SDK includes ANSI C source code, to be ported on virtually any target, and Windows binaries,
- Same platform as CSB4, thus allowing fast and easy prototyping on a desktop computer,
- Simplified ASCII command set for instant operation from inexpensive host microcontroller.
Custom design
Need custom functions into your K531 or K632? We can also develop and embed a dedicated firmware into your module in order to gain the highest performance or to free the host from any card-related processing.
A few applications...
- Ticketing, transportation, road toll pricing,
- RFID tracking, loyalty,
- Private money payment, corporate card, city card,
- Physical access control.
- ...
