Radiated testing was performed at an antenna to EUT distance of 10 meters. During testing, all equipment’s and cables were moved relative to each other in order to identify the worst case set-up. 1.5 Test facility Tests have been performed on September 30 th , 2002. The test facility used to collect the radiated and conducted data is the SMEE Actions Mesures facility, located ZI des Blanchisseries, 38500 VOIRON, France. This test facility has been fully described in a report and accepted by FCC as compliant with the radiated and AC line conducted test site criteria in ANSI C63.4-1992 in a letter dated August 04, 1999 (registration number 94821). This test facility has also been accredited by COFRAC (French accreditation authority for European union test lab accreditation organization), accreditation number 1-0844 as compliant with test site criteria and competence in EN55022/CISPR22 norms for 89/336/EEC European EMC Directive application. All pertinent data for this test facility remains unchanged. FCC ID: MES473GPC 1.6 Data sheet of the product The innovative smart card interface Novel design at low-cost – The new reader from the world’s leading provider of smart card enabled solutions. Using its best selling single-chip interface, GemCore Pro, Gemplus has created a new reader, GemPC Twin, that works in tandem with your smart card design, while offering the enduser the choice of a serial or USB connection. GemPC Twin provides an unrivalled, cost effective and secure way to enhance your smart card based applications. This is especially relevant for corporate security, Internet shopping and online banking services where confidentiality is a must. The proven security, reliability and efficiency of this new architecture have made GemCore-based devices such as GemPC Twin world favorites, passing all computing and banking certifications such as Microsoft WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs) and EMV (Europay, MasterCard, Visa). GemPC Twin is also compliant with Microsoft’s soon to be released CCID driver. New transparent design Customization of a smart card reader slows down time to market and increases the cost of production. Gemplus removes both of these issues by providing a fully transparent reader that makes the most your smart card design. By avoiding graphical reader personalization, GemPC Twin allows you to use the smart card as a promotional tool, bringing down overall costs.
