If you attended any of the Green Sheet seminars this year, you had the opportunity to meet with representatives from Dassault AT. You also know that Dassault makes a variety of products, including the popular Fressia terminal. What you may not know is that they've just released a new EFT POS terminal called Talento. Bill Peet, President and CEO of DASSAULT AT of America said, "Talento provides the solution merchants need today and the technology they will need in the future. It's smart card capability and memory expansion to 4.5MB provides a solid foundation on which merchants can build value-added applications."
Talento offers four models, each with an "all-in-one" compact EFT terminal that includes :
The four models are:
1. a credit only version,2. a version with PIN pad for debit and EBT applications,
3. a version with a smart card reader, and
4. a version with both the smart card reader and integrated PIN pad.
"Each model is upgradeable to the next level providing investment protection," continued Peet.
Talento provides a multitasking operating system which allows the terminal to process several tasks at once. As the merchant swipes the card, Talento dials the host and begins printing the merchant receipt. By the time the host is connected, the merchant has completed entering the transaction information. Once authorization is received, the remainder of the merchant receipt is completed in less than a second. Talento prints the customer receipt, which can include the merchant's logo. The entire transaction takes less than eight seconds.
The following networks will be available on Talento: BUYPASS, Vital, NDC, MAPP, MDI, CardNet, and FDR. Each certification includes retail and restaurant for both credit and debit, and is currently the only EFT restaurant application supported by BUYPASS.
While the Talento is new to the U.S. market, more than 10,000 Talentos have been installed in Europe already. For more information about Dassault call (770) 393-2311 or visit Dassault on the web at http://dassaultat.com
