About Our Business

Smartcards are generally used to provide high levels of security within an IT-based system, which can range from electronic payments (eg chip-and-PIN) , telecommunications (e.g. GSM), ID (e.g. NHS staff cards) and data storage (e.g. digital tachographs.) Unlike other forms of card-based storage media, the chips embedded in smartcards are self-contained computers complete with their own operating systems, firewalls and encryption keys, making them highly resistant to tampering and fraud. Various international standards cover the different types of smartcard, which include both 'contact' and 'contactless' cards, as well as hybrid cards featuring both technologies. These standards include ISO-7816, ISO-14443 and ISO-15639, as well as industry-specific standards such as GSM, EMV, PC/SC, and NFC.

With the required detailed technical know-how in-house, Dot Distribution provides in-depth, impartial advice on the many aspects involved in choosing products to suit every application.

In addition we are also able to bring to market targeted product solutions. Our in-house product management team are not only responsible for managing the day to day business but are responsible for working with customers to identify solutions to suite certain developing markets such as EasyTac downloader for the transport industry and Phonefile for mobile phone SIM management.

Continued market development is key to the success of our business. Identifying and deploying specific marketing activity to generate interest and pull business through the channel is an important means to a successful partnership with our resellers.
