Our situation

• Short range wireless offer requested to complete our range – Wireless payment around a central point (base)– “Payment at the table” (Restaurant), Pub, Gas Stations, …

• Eagerly requested by EMEA:– France– UK (RBS)– Italy– RSA (Altech)– Middle-East KSA

• Required to protect our customer ABSA (in RSA)

• Need to re-use M-series design– Time to market– PCI v1.3 compliant– Cost efficient

Technology choice

• Wifi– Pros: IP based. High speed. Fast time-to-market. Can be used « handset

only ». Future technology. NAM interest.– Cons: Lowest range. Radio interferences. Difficult to install (WPA, WEP

keys). Requires xDSL access. R&D feasibility unsure. Market not ready.

• Bluetooth – Pros: Low consumption. Average speed. Cheap. Easy to install. Good time-

to-market.– Cons: Medium range (class1). Radio interferences. Requires dev. of

handset+base.

• DECT– Pros: High range. No radio interferences. Average speed. Easy to install.

Our clients LOVE X1000 DECT.– Cons: Expensive. Technology obsolescence. Requires dev. of handset +

base.

• Wifi + Bluetooth– Pros: Can be used « handset only » or with a base. More flexibility for

mainteners.– Cons: Extra-cost for both technologies. Radio interferences. Medium range.

High time to market. R&D feasibility unsure.

Maximum performance :

• Best lead-time : re-use of the M-series plastics & motherboard– Fast and easy to implement

• Powerful terminal: develop an « intelligent base » with Bluetooth techno– Remote Modem, Serial and Ethernet– Fast connectivity over long distances– 32bits ARM9 provides speed and functionality

• Highly secure — includes the key security market requirements (PCI PED)

• Multi-handset configuration– Required for France even if rarely used– Competition standard

• Best connectivity - USB connection on the base– Check reader connection– Competition standard
