    • The Base Model’s USB compatibility simplifies plug-and-play integration without additional hardware.

  2. Optimal Version Selection:

    • Base Model: Ideal for small businesses needing basic card reading (e.g., SD card data access).
    • Advanced Model: Best for multi-card environments (e.g., retail stores with magnetic and SD card workflows).
    • Pro Model: Required for high-security applications (e.g., banking terminals) where tamper-proof AES-256 encryption is critical.

With the Pro’s triple-industry-standard security, you can safeguard sensitive transactions. Pair its IP65 rating with outdoor use cases to ensure reliability in harsh conditions. For POS systems, the Advanced Model’s 15% faster read speed reduces customer wait times.

*Comparative benchmark: Industry average read speed is 50 cards/minute.
