Jul 30, 2026

We're announcing the end-of-life (EOL) of the following older-generation card readers and the OMNI Bridge SAFEQ Port variant — the version built for SAFEQ Managed. We're streamlining our portfolio to focus on our flagship MFX4 range and our shift toward remote, cloud-based product management. This means a more consistent experience for our partners and customers going forward.

Key Details:

  • EOL notice period begins: August 1, 2026
  • Final EOL date: August 1, 2027
  • Availability: The affected products remain available for purchase during the notice period. Existing stock is expected to last until the EOL date.
  • Support: Current support agreements will remain valid for impacted devices.
