Our Online Store have the new products: RFID antenna board. Currently it can work with JC10M24R and JCOP4 card chips.
Compared with normal cards, the antenna board module has a smaller size and fixed holes, which is easy to integrate in the IOT(Internet Of Things) project.

Before concluding that SIM reader works on Linux, it isn't so straightforward like Windows where a CCID capable device is plugged in and it immediately detects the reader and allows usage.

On Linux and non-Windows platforms, they rely on libPCSCLite which uses libCCID (under the same PCSCLite project). PCSCLite libraries handles USB CCID devices via a white list and "grey list" of known CCID manufacturer and device IDs. If your device's IDs are not inside the whitelist and greylist, the PCSClite will immediately reject the device and refuse to open a channel to the device. There is no way you can edit the whitelist and greylist for PCSClite which I have attempted once before and failed. The main reason is hard-coding deep inside the PCSClite codes and you have to seek out the author of PCSClite to generate a CCID compliant report and hand to the author of the PCSClite and then wait for an update to be pushed out that contains the CCID device listed within the whitelist or greylist.

It will be nice if @JavaCardOS or anyone with the SIM reader test on latest version of PCSClite on Linux/Non-Windows to assert whether the SIM reader is recognized in the white/greylist first before making the conclusion.

Thank you for your official answer. I have bought one sample from the store.
