BQT Solutions Limited has been awarded a contract to supply at least 1,140 smart card readers to a major American airport. The terms of the deal and the identity of the airport were not released.

The PIN plus smart cart style MIFARE readers comply with the U.S. Transportation Security Administration’s Transportation Worker Identification Credential program. The company already received orders for the first 600 readers, and expects to have fulfilled the entire contract by October 2008.
