[11/09/06]
Hypercom Corporation announced that it has released a new EMV/PCI approved unattended bankcard reader module for use in the rapidly growing self-service kiosk market. The new Optimum H2210 is a manual hybrid card reader accepting both magnetic stripe and smart cards and offering key size, integration and flexibility advantages over competitive units. It complements Hypercom's growing portfolio of unattended payment products, including the Optimum H2200 motorized chip & PIN card reader released last year.
"There is increasing demand for unattended bankcard readers in general, and manual readers in particular, both because of the lower cost and the smaller footprint," said Neil P. Hudd, senior vice president, Global Product Development and Marketing. "With the H2200 and now the H2210, we can provide both manual and motorized solutions for a market that is growing at a rate of nearly 11% per year and even more in the retail self-checkout sector. We also offer engineering advantages in both product categories that we believe will generate significant new business opportunities."
The new H2210 is designed to be incorporated into indoor or outdoor kiosks used in a variety of self-service environments. It has the smallest form factor of any product of its kind, offering important benefits for integrators who must fit multiple peripherals into limited kiosk space. It also features an internal EMV Level 2 kernel that supports all current-generation EMV payment cards and eliminates the need for external components; and easy integration with Hypercom's K1200 or K1100 keypad via standard hardware connections and a common software platform to eliminate technical problems encountered when third-party keypads must be used.
The module supports all types of smart card applications with an EMV-compliant interface and offers a variety of hardware and software security features, including protection gainst unauthorized physical access and removal from the kiosk itself. A front card gate prevents coins, dust, moisture and other harmful debris from entering the reader, and it opens only when an ISO-size card is presented to the metal front bezel to thwart vandals.
Other features include:
Contact and magnetic read head life of 1,000,000 passes.
32-bit ARM 7 processor operating at 66Mhz and 4MB flash memory for fast transaction speeds, with program execution contained within the 8MB SDRAM.
Connectivity to an external PIN Entry Device (PED) using a secure RS232C link.
Software-based logic interface to the PED for easy customer integration and an upgrade path.
Choice of electrical interface options to the host, including RS232C, USB and Ethernet.
Option to use external power supply or an existing powered RS232C or USB interface within the extensive range of 5 - 30VDC for use with virtually any kiosk.
Choice of EFTOS, OTA or CPOS platforms for developers.
Operating temperature range of -20oC to +60oC for virtually any outside application.
The Optimum H2210 is available for immediate shipment.
