With the dimensions 2,2 cm × 1,6 cm × 1,9 cm, the Nano is a compact authentication solution that is perfect for single sign-on (SSO), attendance and time recording, training, POS terminals and secure Printing is useful in the healthcare, government, manufacturing, and corporate sectors. It is particularly attractive to first responders and public service workers because they can use their portable devices securely while complying with organizational guidelines for authentication, identification, and authorized access.

A LEGIC security module that supports all relevant RFID standards is integrated in the WAVE ID Nano. Its compact size and patented wake-up circuit make it ideal for all types of small, battery-operated safety applications.

"As security requirements for IT devices increase, user authentication based solely on vulnerable passwords is becoming obsolete," said Tod Besse, SVP, Global Sales and Marketing. “Using a compact, LEGIC-compatible smart card reader that plugs into any USB-A port, the Nano adds an instant layer of secure authentication for IT devices and portable computers. A user can access IT equipment with a simple wave of an authorized badge.”

The reader offers all the functions of a full-fledged desktop or a surface-mounted ID card / transponder reader in an ultra-compact USB-A format. This means that the WAVE ID Nano reader protects data by only allowing access to IT devices for authorized users. Thanks to its small size, employees can also move around freely in their work environment with their notebooks or tablets. The WAVE ID Nano has a robust construction thanks to its small size and profile. This reduces physical disruption and prevents breakage.
