Smooth Transition to EMV:

The Augusta is a secure EMV chip and magnetic stripe reader that is specifically designed to offer retailers a simple upgrade path to EMV from traditional desktop magnetic stripe readers. This reader is able to provide superior reading performance while also encrypting sensitive magnetic stripe and EMV data. With all data encrypted, the Augusta can participate in end-to-end solutions reducing the risk of data compromises.

EMV/Universal SDK:

This reader has been designed to use ID TECH's Common L2 Kernel and can be utilized with ID TECH's Universal SDK. By using the Universal SDK, coding efforts to the Augusta and other ID TECH Common L2 products is greatly reduced.

Easy To Use:

The Augusta is very user friendly and reliable. It is available in USB-HID configuration and uses common HID drivers. Beepers, LEDs and bidirectional communication make interacting with the unit very intuitive. The location of the mounting holes makes it easy to mount to any previous MiniMag II or SecuRED mounting bracket. The Augusta is able to support 1,000,000 magnetic stripe operations or 500,000 EMV transactions.

Virtual Terminal Support:

ID TECH's patent-pending Augusta card reader brings together Quick Chip technology, USB keyboard emulation, and a proven EMV L2 kernel for the first time. The result is an EMV solution that makes it exceptionally easy for virtual terminal customers to benefit from two-second transaction times while minimizing PCI-DSS scope
