Indala Introduces Flexible, Contactless SmartCard MIFARE® Reader Family

Wednesday, March 31, 2004

Las Vegas, NV - ISC West (March 31, 2004)  Indala Corporation today launched its new series of affordable MIFARE® sector readers, which includes two models (wallswitch and mullion-mount), four attractive bezel styles, and several popular colors (black, white, beige, blue, and gray).  The new readers are compatible with any MIFARE® application and data format, which increases their flexibility.  Plus, with their clip-on bezel design, the readers are literally a “snap” to install.  As with all Indala products, the new MIFARE® series is supported by Indala’s superior customer care, fast shipping, and a Lifetime Warranty. 


“One of the great things about the Indala MIFARE® reader is its flexibility.  You can read the card serial number or, for higher security, any sector on the card you choose,” stated Marc Freundlich, Indala president.  “You can choose what keys/password protect the data inside. And you can select from any of the great Indala reader cover designs since they are all interchangeable.  It’s just a great value by any measure,” he added.

Indala will display its new MIFARE® readers in its booth #13102 at the ISC West show in Las Vegas March 31 - April 2.  The Company is also hosting “SmartCard Revolution Part Two,” a seminar about how to make SmartCards a profitable part of a dealer/integrator product portfolio.  For more details, and to register, contact Indala Marketing at 408-219-5092 or visit the booth.
