Toronto (PRWEB) October 5, 2005 -- NBS Technologies (TSX: NBS), a worldwide leader in card personalization solutions, today launched its all new Horizon® Evolution.
Building on the highly successful Horizon family of products, the Horizon Evolution is the next step in the evolution of high speed, high volume smart card personalization issuance. Aimed specifically at the GSM, Secure ID and Financial/EMV markets, the Horizon Evolution is the ideal, all-in-one solution. Recognizing the ever-changing, market driven needs of high volume smart card issuers, NBS designed the Horizon Evolution with flexibility and reliability in mind. The machine is configurable to meet the market needs of today and then re-configurable to meet the needs of tomorrow. No longer will card issuers be required to purchase one machine for their GSM needs, another system for their secure ID need and yet another for their Financial/EMV needs -- the flexible, re-configurable Horizon Evolution with its customizable Card Production Elements ("CPEs") allows card issuers to quickly and efficiently re-direct their production capabilities based upon market conditions.
"The Horizon Evolution represents NBSs vision of the future," says Product Manager, Joseph Beuschcel. "With the needs of our customers in mind, we've developed a system that is highly customizable, yet easily configurable and re-configurable. The Horizon Evolution will allow our customers to take their businesses to the next level with the ability to quickly and cost effectively, re-deploy their production based on market conditions. With speed, reliability and complete flexibility, NBS has answered the call for a complete solution aimed at bridging the gap between three major markets -- Financial/EMV, GSM and Secure ID."
