In the field of payment terminals, a new generation of modular, function-rich payment terminals is appearing. Such smart payment terminals transmit, equally well, data relative to payment transactions and, for example, data relative to software updates. However, at present, a smart payment terminal in incapable of transmitting different data in accordance with their respective transmission constraints. This can represent a considerable cost for the merchant. A communications device is therefore provided to set up two connections simultaneously with two different gateways and thus be capable of exchanging data associated with different transmission parameters. Thus, the communications device can simultaneously transmit data relative to different types of services having distinct transmission parameters.

Method for transmitting data to two distinct gateways, and corresponding device

A memory card reader is provided, which includes a printed circuit on which a memory card connector is mounted. The memory card connector has a slot intended for inserting a memory card and a set of contact points enabling data exchange between the memory card and a processor mounted on the printed circuit. The printed circuit is further equipped with an anti-intrusion device formed and positioned such that the anti-intrusion device prevents access, from the exterior of the reader, to at least one connection portion between at least one of the contact points of the set of contact points and the printed circuit.
