Seal Beach, CA, April 17, 2024 - MagTek, a global leader in security technology and digital payments and transactions, is thrilled to reveal the latest advancement in the iDynamo family, iDynamo 5 (Gen III).

iDynamo 5 (Gen III) is the epitome of rugged versatility, now with expanded compatibility across iOS, Android, and Windows operating systems. This sleek device offers seamless integration via USB Keyboard, USB HID, and USB iAP2, making it the go-to solution for secure magstripe and Qwantum-authenticated transactions across mobile devices and desktop operating systems.

Designed for the future, iDynamo 5 (Gen III) is perfect for P2PE environments, boasting enhanced SRED security and supporting PCI PTS 6.x SCR with AES 128/256 or triple DEA encryption and DUKPT key management. With the MagneSafe Security Architecture at its core and certification to Magensa Gateway Services, this is security you can count on.

"Mobile payments, desktop payments and authenticated identification and access control continue to be growing markets," noted Andy Deignan, Chief Executive Officer of MagTek. "And because these channels demand secure, quick-to-market solutions, it was a natural progression to update and enhance our most popular secure card reader authenticator with a number of new features including AES encryption and other configurations and security features designed to protect sensitive card and token data."

Taking mobile deployment to the next level, the iDynamo 5 (Gen III) easily attaches to smartphones or tablets using the Otterbox uniVERSE case.
