Both models can also run together in your fleet.

The Software That Turns the Device Into a Super System
Sole Akbil T10 has a great many features. Thanks to the Sole Akbil Validator APK software running on it, it collects fares even without internet, writes every transaction to an immutable ledger, and recognizes only cards belonging to your system through customer-specific card-key isolation. All devices are managed centrally through the Akbil Cloud Management Software; revenue reports, fares and dealer management are all run from a single screen.
