Porteo is a smart card reader in the shape of a portable cardholder. Once the USB connector is unlocked, Porteo becomes a transparent smart card reader, compliant with industry standards (ISO 7816, PC/SC, CCID).
When on the go, Porteo acts as a cardholder: the transparent front allows the smart card's information to be visible (photo, name...). Moreover, as the smart card inserts completely, it is totally protected from external damages that can occur during mobile use (dust, scratches...). Porteo's technical architecture makes possible for a contactless smart card to be used without removing the card from the reader, allowing the smart card to be used freely while on the go (for mass transit smart cards, for instance).
Once the USB connector is unlocked, Porteo becomes a transparent smart card reader, that just needs to be plugged into the USB port of a computer in order to be immediately operational.
