Our situation • Short range wirelessofferrequested to completeour range • Wireless payment around a central point (base) • “Payment at the table” (Restaurant), Pub, Gas Stations, … • Eagerlyrequested by EMEA: • France • UK (RBS) • Italy • RSA (Altech) • Middle-East KSA • Required to protectourcustomer ABSA (in RSA) • Need to re-use M-series design • Time to market • PCI v1.3 compliant • Cost efficient

  7. Our answer no1

  8. W-1: cordless terminal • W-1 launch achieved! • 1st production: December 2009 • Features / Benefits : • Offline portable (off-line transactions except when terminal is on the base) • Derivative from M-Series • Entry of mobility range • Full autonomy of the handset • Easy connectivity in the base • No major modifications to stick to PCI PED • Display at Cartes 2009 !

  9. Our answer no2

  10. W-8: wireless terminal • GO decision took 7th of September • Technology: Bluetooth class 1 (range 100m)

  11. Technology choice • Wifi • Pros: IP based. High speed. Fast time-to-market. Can beused « handsetonly ». Future technology. NAM interest. • Cons:Lowest range. Radio interferences. Difficult to install (WPA, WEP keys). RequiresxDSLaccess. R&D feasibilityunsure. Market not ready. • Bluetooth • Pros: Lowconsumption. Average speed. Cheap. Easy to install. Good time-to-market. • Cons: Medium range (class1).Radio interferences. Requiresdev. of handset+base. • DECT • Pros: High range.No radio interferences.Average speed. Easy to install. Our clients LOVE X1000 DECT. • Cons:Expensive.Technology obsolescence.Requiresdev. of handset + base. • Wifi + Bluetooth • Pros: Can beused « handsetonly » or with a base. More flexibility for mainteners. • Cons: Extra-cost for both technologies. Radio interferences. Medium range. High time to market. R&D feasibilityunsure.
