⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Lin - Retail Store Owner
"We've been using the HCC-T10-DC3 Advanced Model in our two storefronts since February 2025, and it’s transformed our POS efficiency. The 3-in-1 functionality eliminates the need for multiple readers, and the RS232 interface integrates perfectly with our legacy cash registers. Read speed is noticeably faster—under 0.3 seconds per card. No issues even during peak hours."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elena Martinez - Hotel IT Manager
"Installed the Pro Model in our front desk and access control system in October 2024. The FIPS 140-2 encryption gives us peace of mind for guest data, and the -30°C to 70°C operating range means no failures during winter power fluctuations. RFID reading at 13.56 MHz is fast and reliable for key cards. Setup was smooth thanks to the plug-and-play USB mode during testing."Purchase Date: October 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ David Park - Embedded Systems Developer
"Bought the Base Model in May 2024 for a home automation project involving secure RFID badge access. The API access and firmware customization options were a huge plus. While the read speed is good (around 0.5s), I wish the base version supported GPIO for sensor expansion. That said, the FR4 PCB feels solid, and it’s held up well through constant prototyping."Purchase Date: May 2024 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Anita Desai - Facilities Director
"We deployed 15 Advanced Model units across office entry points in January 2025. The dual USB/RS232 interface allowed seamless integration with both new and older access panels. EMVCo and CE certifications were critical for compliance. Staff report zero swipe failures, and the automatic protocol detection means no manual switching between card types. Exactly what we needed for a unified access solution."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Marcus Bell - Smart City Project Lead
"Piloting the Pro Model in our transit gate systems since November 2024. The 20% faster transaction speed compared to our old 125 kHz readers has reduced queue times significantly. The rugged build handles outdoor exposure perfectly—no issues with humidity or temperature swings. Custom cables were provided upon request, which made retrofitting existing kiosks much easier."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
