Datacard Group provides fast and flexible personalization of SIM Cards

The high volume telecom market demands that SIM card issuers keep their cost per card as low as possible. The new MPR5800 system configurations help meet this challenge by practically eliminating supplies expenses, while generating throughput similar to shops running multiple machines. This keeps overhead and operating expenses at a minimum, the company said.

“Speed and high card volumes are only the beginning of the story,” said Connell Smith, vice president of hardware marketing at Datacard Group. “The MPR5800 system is a proven platform that has been in high production environments around the world for years. Customers can be assured that the improvements we have made will not only help them increase productivity, but the platform itself will help them minimize downtime on the production floor.”

The company also announced that users of existing MPR5000 and 5800 systems can also benefit from productivity improvements. Field upgrades will be made available that will allow these systems to reach speeds of up to 8000 cards per hour.
