New: Mobile Access Proxy Releases 'World's Smallest Mobile Reader'

Published Mar 04, 2020 16:10 PM

Mobile access provider Proxy claims its new Nano is 'the world’s smallest mobile reader' that can be installed into nearly all existing access systems.

However, Nano is not a full reader, but more accurately an adapter that requires a reader to already be in place.

In this report, we examine Proxy's claims and feedback, including:

  • Nano Mobile Adapter Key Characteristics
  • Retrofit Install Methods
  • Nano's Lower Pricing than Competitors
  • Integration with 14 Access Platforms
  • Wiegand Only Limitation
  • Uncommon Installation Process
  • Rated for Indoor-Only Use
  • Nano compared to Openpath
