The MagTek technology, MagneSafe® Security Architecture, uses dynamic encryption, tokenization, and authentication to secure card data. MagneSafe uses a patented and proven card authentication technology which reliably identifies counterfeit credit cards, debit cards, gift cards, ATM cards, and ID cards at the point of swipe, before fraud occurs. Encryption scrambles the data when swiping, providing instant protection for both businesses and customers.
Flex 10 Line of xTablets
Two robust, lightweight, rugged devices comprise the Flex 10 line of xTablets. The Flex 10B runs on the Windows 10 platform and is powered by Intel's® Celeron N4100 Quad Core processor.
