Integrated ATB Keyboards

ATB integrated check-in keyboard

The ATB family of integrated keyboards is designed for airline passenger check-in and boarding gate document and card reading. 20% smaller than the majority of competing products, the ATB range is both compact and robust and available with USB or RS232/ PS/2 interfaces.

Approved for SITA CUTE®, ARINC MUSE®, Ultra CUSE® and RESA CREWS®, the keyboards can be adapted to add a new host or to support non-standard cards such as loyalty or frequent flyer and special dedicated formats. To ensure flexibility for the future, new firmware to add and modify features can be downloaded to the unit.

There are 32 models in the ATB keyboard family covering the majority of airline keyboard requirements. Custom airport keyboard design is available for non-standard hardware or software requirements.

Combined four-track MSR and dual illuminated OCR reader

Airline keyboard with MSRAccess' 4 track magnetic swipe reader is designed specifically for the airport environment. Documents enter and exit within the body of the keyboard allowing use within confined desk areas. The MSR performs bi-directional reading of ticket and boarding pass coupons, and ISO encoded credit card data. The ergonomically designed document channel is fitted with a smooth, wear-resistant stainless steel guide and achieves reliable reading at both fast and slow swipe speeds. The integrated optical character recognition (OCR) reader reads documents conforming to ICAO 9303 and IATA Recommended Practice 1720a including direct thermally printed ATB documents and IATA 2 of 5 format bar codes.

For airports that have deployed Access manufactured ATB keyboards, the stand-alone EID42x module can easily be retro-fitted to any ATB keyboard providing a low-cost migration to e-passport reading capability, and is also available as a factory-fitted option on all ATB series keyboards.
