A system comprises a wireless-enabled device that communicates with a wireless-enabled smart card reader to obtain information from or perform operations using a smart card. Commands to access information from a smart card may be sent from the device to the smart card reader, and responses from the smart card may be sent from the smart card reader back to the second device. Communication between the device and the smart card reader via a wireless communication link is slower than communication via a direct link. Communication of two or more commands and/or responses via the wireless communication link may be made more efficient by grouping the commands or responses together in groups.
