WAVE ID® Nano
The WAVE ID Nano USB-C reader incorporates all the features of the desktop readers into an ultra-compact and highly resistant USB form factor. Because the reader is designed to meet punishing military-grade specifications, it’s the ideal choice for user authentication and access in challenging environments and applications where security is critical.

Like all rf IDEAS® readers, the WAVE ID Nano USB-C reader inserted in a laptop or tablet helps technology-driven organizations protect critical data and information while giving authorized users mobility and peace of mind. Its ultra-compact size makes it easy for mobile workers— including first responders or military professionals—to do their jobs while complying with organizational guidelines for authentication, identification and access.

Highly Resistant
To comply with select MIL-STD-810 requirements that address “hostile environment” usage, the WAVE ID Nano USB-C reader features an over-molded design that is built to resist:

Feature-Rich Small Reader Profile
The reader’s unsurpassed ruggedness and revolutionary small size offer flexibility in a wide variety of mission- critical integrations.

This ultra-compact reader minimizes the required hardware components when embedded within housings or keyboards, for example, in IT applications where access control is required. The WAVE ID Nano USB-C reader with its Type-C USB connector is designed for this growing industry requirement.

Compatibility with Existing Badge Systems
The WAVE ID Nano USB-C reader easily integrates into existing 125 kHz proximity or 13.56 MHz contactless smart card systems and is compatible with most credential types worldwide.
