3. ASK Terminals Background
• Due to the strong coupling between contactless cards
and readers, ASK decided from its creation in 1997 to
develop expertise in the reader technology.
• The first products were OEM readers, also known as
couplers. They were followed by desktop and
handheld terminals.
• ASK contactless readers are recognized by industry
experts to have top performance, and also to be the
most universal in terms of card acceptance.
• We are in the 5th generation of readers, with more
than 100K units installed worldwide.
