The main difference between the fixed-line, portable and mobile terminal are the communications that are used to connect to your acquirers banking system. The fixed line terminal is connected directly to a telephone line, the portable terminal also connects to a telephone line but can be taken up to 100 metres from its base and the mobile terminal uses GPRS technology (not a telephone line) which enables the user to take payments away from a fixed location.
