Internet is fast becoming a standard communication tool.
People around the world will turn to the Internet for their basic communication, transactions and exchange needs.
Public PC access points are bound to expand in public places, schools, libraries, business centres or in homes .
These locations are unlikely to offer self service multimedia access unless it is profitable, simple to manage and to maintain, and easy for the users.
But, putting up a PC in a multi-user environment means solving a certain number of problems:
PC securisation (hard disk protection) :
Connection time billing
Access control (who may access to the machine?, for what application?, for how long?)
Ease of use
I-Card is the solution
I-Card products (I-Card Access being the main one) answers globally to all these needs.
