Datacard Group today launched an advanced version of its Datacard MPR5000 card production and personalization system that supports high memory capacity card technology, which is rapidly growing in popularity with GSM card issuers. This latest system release is designed to produce and personalize a variety of high memory capacity smart card formats at speeds of up to 5,000 cards per hour.
