LONG BEACH, Miss. — Triton Systems of Delaware has released a new remote key transport solution for retail ATMs.
According to a news release, Triton is the first ATM manufacturer to bring this cost-savings solution and security feature to the off-premise ATM market. The company in March launched the RKT solution in the United Kingdom.
Triton's RKT solution will be available in Canada and the United States this summer, and in Australia and South Africa before the end of the year.
"Until recently, ATM deployers were required to have two technicians enter the keys into a keypad and send it out to the ATM site, or have two people visit the site so that each one entered only one half of the master key," said Bob Douglas, Triton's director of engineering. "Now, rather than having to pay two people to manually enter keys, Triton's remote key transport solution uses cryptography to allow distributors to remotely load keys directly from the host to the ATM across a public network." RKT allows ATM owners in markets like the U.K., which mandates the use of RKT and requires that master keys be changed every year, to save a considerable amount of money, while at the same time improving security and uptime, Douglas says.
"Merchants and cardholders also benefit from Triton's RKT solution," he added. "By eliminating the human element from the key loading process, security is improved. And, merchants are better able to serve their customers with improved ATM uptime since keys can be changed at any time remotely."
Featured presenter Henry Schwarz, Triton's software projects director, will discuss the many benefits of RKT, including cost savings, convenience, security, uptime, compliance and how to avoid a site visit, during the ATM Industry Association's Canada show, June 9-11 in Toronto.
Schwarz's presentation, "Remote Key Transport," will be held at 3:30 p.m. on June 10.
