This month, several interesting single-payers appeared, which are worth talking about on Habre. Among them are universal devices and devices designed for a certain range of tasks. If we suddenly missed something, tell us in the comments about those devices that you liked. And if you have been working with something for a long time and closely – share your experience! Details below.

We invite you to Selectel Tech Day on October 10
Let’s talk about new products on the market and updates in our products. Presentations, networking, workshops and an evening program await you. Participation is free, but registration is required.
