Product: Omni 7000LE
Company: VeriFone Inc.

For merchants with multiple lanes who need speedy transactions to keep up with high traffic through those lanes, VeriFone has introduced a "lite" edition to its Omni 7000 family point-of-sale terminals for multi-lane retailers, the Omni 7000LE. The terminal supports debit, credit, loyalty, electronic benefits transfer and Women, Infants and Children (WIC) transactions.

VeriFone considers this terminal an entry-level point into its modular Omni 7000 multi-lane line; retailers implement this product for basic POS multi-lane needs, and they can upgrade to more functionality such as signature capture, contactless and Internet protocol-based processing, or graphical user-interface displays, as needed.

All products under this family of terminals use the same types of cables and stands and power supply and operating system. This enables simple and more cost effective support of and migration between the different models, the company said. The product is also compatible with VeriFone's legacy multi-lane solution, the EverestPlus payment system.

The Omni 7000LE has an ATM-style interface, a large eight-line back-lit display and a vertical swipe, bi-directional card reader. It has a 32-bit processor, two megabytes of Flash memory and one megabyte of SRAM.

Its 21 laser-etched, hard plastic keys will withstand wear and tear longer than the traditional soft rubber keys. Four of the keys are also programmable function keys. VeriFone has configured the terminal with the latest security features, including triple data encryption standard (3DES), master key/session key and derived unique key per transaction (DUKPT) key management. It's also Visa PIN-entry device (PED)-approved for PIN-based transactions.

The Omni 7000LE has triple serial ports, which enables merchants to integrate the terminal with most electronic cash register systems as well as bar code scanners, check readers/imagers and other peripherals.
