ID TECH Launches Xpress CM100 Contactless Payment Module for Easy POS System Integration

Nov. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- ID TECH, a leading manufacturer of Automated Data Entry and Point of Sale devices, has launched the Xpress CM100, a ‘contactless payment module’ that allows merchants to accept transactions with a variety of contactless technologies.

The ID TECH Xpress CM100 provides EMV 2.0.1 contactless card reading and is certified to work with American Express® ExpressPay™, Discover Zip™ from Discover®, MasterCard® PayPass™, and Visa® payWave™.  In addition to reading contactless payment cards, the Xpress CM100 communicates with other contactless technologies such as key fobs and cell phones with near field communication (NFC).  The Xpress CM100 is compatible with the industry's most popular standards including ISO 14443 Type A/B and Mifare.  It has four LED indicators as well as an audio beeper to provide both audio and visual confirmation of a successful transaction. Its modular design allows for easy integration into/on new or existing self-service systems, and can be easily mounted on terminals to add contactless reading capability.  It can also be used as a standalone countertop unit with the optional mounting base.

The Xpress CM100 is a perfect match for the ID TECH Sign&Pay payment terminal.  By combining the Sign&Pay’s MagStripe reader, PIN entry, signature capture, and data encrypting technologies with the Xpress CM100’s contactless payment capabilities, merchants will have a complete payment solution that offers a multitude of payment technologies as well as payment security.

The Xpress CM100’s robust, sealed design makes it ideal for a variety of applications, including quick service restaurants, ticket booths, parking garages, retail locations, public transportation, and gas stations.  With the added ability to accept contactless transactions, merchants will be able to provide their customers with a quick, convenient payment experience.
