Ma Bell Goes
Wireless
While we are on
the subject of wireless services, BellSouth Wireless Data and
VeriFone, Inc., are collaborating to develop wireless point-of-sale
(POS) solutions. The two companies will develop end-to-end, seamless
solutions for processing wireless credit and debit transactions over
the BellSouth wireless network.
"Through our
alliance with BellSouth Wireless Data, we will be able to offer
wireless payment solutions that allow businesses to deliver the
ultimate in personal serviceóbringing payment directly to the
customer," said Pierre-Francois Catte, vice president and general
manager of VeriFone's Appliance Systems Division.
Benefits that
users will enjoy from this wireless POS terminal
include:
- Flexibility to
reconfigure terminal locations inside stores or to transport
terminal to sidewalk sales or special events.
- VeriFone's
Omni 3200 POS terminal offers a lower cost of ownership through
its intelligent design and feature set, including integrated
thermal printer, ATM-style user interface, and dual telco ports
that eliminate the cost of a second phone line.
- Reliability of
BellSouth Wireless Data Network for secure, nationwide
authorization of transactions in under 10 seconds.
- Seamless and
easy integration of future applications, such as smart cards or
loyalty cards
