MaxID is marketing the new offering in maritime security, border management and perimeter security due to its lightweight nature, rugged design and ability to read TWIC, CAC, PIV, PIV-I, SAM and FRAC cards as well as passports and driver’s licenses.

Other capabilities of the new device that MaxID is touting include contactless card and barcode reading; optical fingerprint scanning; WiFi, 3G and Bluetooth communication and a screen that is bright enough to be viewed in sunlight. [end]
