Product: Dionica OmeroX Lite

Imagine one day a distant Italian cousin comes to your town with news that you could be part of a family fortune. Not a likely situation, but here's one that's seems a bit more promising for merchant level salespeople (MLSs).

A new POS terminal, the Dionica OmeroX Lite, is part of Italy-based Dionica's Omero family of POS products, some of the first hand-over, all-in-one terminals in the global marketplace. Point Transaction Systems is a value-added reseller of the Dionica brand in the Caribbean, South America, Central America, India and now the United States. Perhaps that long lost cousin and your ship have arrived.

Don't be fooled by the name. The OmeroX may be named "Lite" but it's not light on functionality. The terminal supports credit, debit and value-added applications such as check acceptance, gift and loyalty cards and prepaid cards. Its sleek, slim design, integrated thermal printer, small power supply, and single cable connection box eliminate any clunkiness from the merchant's countertop.

The OmeroX Lite has a 16-bit processor; 2 MB of Flash memory and 512 KB static RAM; bi-directional card swipe reading, with tracks 1 & 2 or 2 & 3; one RS232, one PIN pad and two telco peripheral ports; a backlit graphic display; modem; and an on/off power switch on the terminal.

Point Transaction is targeting the ISO/MLS sales channel selling to second- and third-tier merchants. The terminal does not include any smart card functionality, which lowers manufacturing costs and allows Point Transaction to offer the product at an "aggressively priced," lower price point, making it an affordable POS solution.

The company successfully completed merchant pilots with 24 devices, and the terminals are already installed at locations in more than 30 U.S. states. FDMS Omaha, Vital Processing Services and the National Check Network have certified applications for the terminal.
