VANCOUVER, Canada - INETCO Systems Ltd., which provides ATM and POS connectivity solutions, announced in a news release that it recently conducted a wireless ATM trial with Calypso Canada.
INETCO's Vista, a terminal adapter, which provides a solution for connecting dial and leased-line ATMs to IP and wireless networks, connected a Calypso leased line ATM to a wireless GPRS network. This, the first known trial of ATM transactions over a GPRS network in North America, comes after extensive trials in Australia and New Zealand.
Vista did not suffer from dropouts that can occur with modem-only solutions on GPRS networks.
"The success of this trial paves the way to offer a wireless service for the thousands of Datapac 3201-enabled ATMs that are still deployed," said Doug Epp, Calypso's general manager.
