RESTON, Va. -- NetWorks, a member-owned EFT network that provides services to Nebraska financial institutions, has signed an agreement to use TNS Connect, a private, IP-based network owned by Transaction Network Services (TNS), as a dedicated connection for its ATM customers.

According to a TNS release, TNS Connect supports all legacy protocols at ATMs, so companies don't have to make hardware changes in order to switch from dial-up to a dedicated IP connection.

By providing a dedicated ATM connection, TNS Connect allows NetWorks to monitor transactions on a real time basis and to have the redundant coverage and necessary back-up for each transaction, according to the release.
