Cantaloupe ePort G11 Card Reader Kit with Telemeter – New, MDB Cashless

Cantaloupe ePort G11 Card Reader Kit for Vending Machines

The Cantaloupe ePort G11 card reader kit is a modular cashless payment system that adds credit card, chip (EMV), contactless, and mobile-wallet acceptance to virtually any vending machine or unattended retail unit. This is a brand-new kit that pairs the G11 ePort card reader with a G11 telemeter, so a single install delivers both payment processing and full machine telemetry. The unit is MDB compatible and connects over 4G/LTE cellular, which means it works without running any dedicated communication lines to the machine location.

Built for operators upgrading from cash-only equipment, the G11 accepts EMV contactless, NFC/RFID, magstripe swipe, and tap-to-pay mobile wallets. It operates under PCI DSS with PCI Level 1-audited hardware and end-to-end data encryption, so cardholder data is protected on every tap and swipe. Paired with the included telemeter, the kit reports sales, cash and cashless transactions, and DEX data straight into Cantaloupe’s Seedlive cloud platform for remote route management.

Specifications

Key features of the ePort G11 kit

• Accepts every mainstream cashless payment – dip/chip, contactless tap, NFC, magstripe, and phone-based mobile wallets in one reader.
• MDB plug-in and flexible interfaces – installs on MDB machines and also supports Serial, DEX, and an isolated Pulse interface that can simulate coin mechs and bill validators for older equipment.
• Cellular by design – built-in 4G/LTE with a diversity antenna eliminates the need for a hard-wired internet or phone line at the machine.
• Full telemetry included – the paired telemeter captures cash and cashless sales and DEX data and pushes it to Cantaloupe’s Seedlive cloud so you can manage routes remotely.
• PCI-grade security – PCI DSS compliance with PCI Level 1-audited hardware and data encryption on every transaction.

About Cantaloupe

Cantaloupe, Inc. (formerly USA Technologies) is a self-service commerce technology company headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania, and now part of 365 Retail Markets. Cantaloupe is one of the most widely deployed cashless payment and telemetry providers in the North American vending and unattended-retail market, powering hundreds of thousands of ePort card readers across vending machines, laundry, amusement, and kiosk operators. You can review the G11 platform and the Seedlive software directly on the Cantaloupe card readers page.

Where this kit earns its keep

Adding cashless acceptance is one of the highest-return upgrades an operator can make: locations where shoppers no longer carry coins – offices, gyms, schools, apartment amenity rooms, laundromats, car washes, and break rooms – typically see higher spend per transaction once cards and phones are accepted. Because the G11 is MDB compatible and cellular, it retrofits onto both new and existing machines without a data line, making it a practical way to modernize a route one machine at a time.

Whether you run a single snack machine or a growing fleet, the included telemetry lets you see what is selling and when a machine needs a refill without driving to the site.
