Hi-Pass terminals can be broadly divided into portable and fixed types.
The portable Hi-Pass terminal is a terminal that can be used by mounting it inside the vehicle or attaching it to the outside of the vehicle. Portable terminals have the advantage of being able to be carried and stored when not in use.
