POSDATA expands product line
with Hypercom multi-lane payment terminals


 

June 8, 2006

POSDATA, Inc. announced today that it has teamed with Hypercom to become a stocking distributor for Hypercom's Optimum L4100 high-speed signature capture card payment terminals for multi-lane retailers. POSDATA selected the L4100 based on its advanced functionality, including the ability to support contactless payment card systems that speed cardholder transactions.

The L4100 expands POSDATA's portfolio of electronic payment products to provide the industry's most advanced solution for multi-lane retailers that want the ability to support traditional credit/debit and value-added applications on a single device. The company expects to add other Hypercom multi-lane terminals soon.

“Hypercom's Optimum series broadens our market and provides our customers with a reliable, high-speed terminal that accelerates the checkout process,” says Bill McCubbins, POSDATA's president and CEO. “Combined with our full deployment, key injection and overnight replacement programs, the Hypercom Optimum L4100 is an important addition to our product line.”

Walter Allen, senior vice president and general manager, multi-lane division, Hypercom North America says, “This agreement further substantiates the value that Hypercom's Optimum products bring to the market. The L4100 gives retailers and banking institutions exceptional reliability and features. The unit's software lets customers integrate our products into their cash register and host systems in very short order, without writing a single line of code. Demand for this already-popular product is escalating. POSDATA will be of great help in enabling us to meet that demand.”

Specific features of the L4100 include:

  • Industry-leading transaction speeds, based on a 200Mhz 32-bit Intel® XScale® processor.

  • A 64K color 5.7” ¼ VGA screen, permitting exact reproduction of corporate logos, advertising and promotional messages to deliver strong branding and marketing messages at the point of sale.

  • A bi-directional, dual-sided magnetic stripe reader, an exclusive feature that speeds checkout by allowing cards to be swiped from right or left no matter which way the magnetic stripe is facing.

  • An advanced screen protection and replacement system, including a scratch-resistant Terrapin™ screen protector, automatic disabling of the unit to prevent accidental screen damage if the protector is not in place, and easy no-adhesive replacement of the protective overlays.

  • Multiple connectivity options, with the ability to support RS-232, Ethernet and powered or non-powered USB on the same device, enabling retailers to switch POS systems without replacing their payment terminals.

  • Integrated contactless reader to enable fast no-swipe transactions.

The Optimum L4100 also features a customizable bezel enabling retailers to incorporate their own branding, integrated signature capture, an optional compact flash card slot and an optional EMV Level 1 approved smart card reader. The terminal is Visa® PED compliant and can handle credit and debit, as well as gift, loyalty and EBT (food stamp) cards, electronic check conversion and other value-added functions that help streamline operations for financial institutions and build incremental profits for retailers.

Hypercom's Optimum 32-bit series also includes the PCI PED-certified L4200 and 4250 for multi-lane retailers; the T4100 countertop unit for single-lane retailers; and the Optimum M4100 Blade, the industry's first high security palm-sized 32-bit wireless credit/debit terminal with signature capture touch screen for mobile merchants globally who want the convenience of true anytime, anywhere secure portable payments and authentication.
