SKI Series 3

The SKI Series 3 key management server is a streamlined solution for Point-of-Sale key injection, with industry-leading technology and support for all major manufacturers. Point of Sale (POS) terminal deployment operations often face the challenge of injecting encryption keys into hundreds or even thousands of terminals in a short amount of time. The Secure Key Injector (SKI) Series 3 tackles this challenge, eliminating costly manual processes and removing reliance on legacy software-based systems. The SKI can connect to up to 18 POS terminals at the same time, with the advanced ability to load different types of keys simultaneously. The SKI is streamlined to fit your organization’s needs without compromising on speed, security, or stability.
