CDS signs with ATMLink for wireless ATM connectivity

February 9, 2006

RESTON, Va. - Transaction Network Services Inc., a leading provider of business-critical network and data communications services for transaction-oriented applications, announced in a news release that Columbus Data Services signed a three-year contract renewal for TNS's ATMLink communications solution.

CDS installed more than 1,000 wireless ATMLink units nationwide in 2005 - a landmark for Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology.

The addition of ATMLink wireless technology to CDS's current systems allows for rapid installation and flexible placement of the ATMs.

"We have been thoroughly impressed with the results of the new wireless ATMLink service," said CDS president Ron Schuldt. "It is comparably priced to standard dial service, but without the significant expense and delay."

Schuldt added that CDS expects to announce an incentive program for independent sales organizations at ATMIA Conference East next week.

"TNS is excited that Columbus Data Services has embraced the ATMLink wireless solution," said TNS vice president of sales for self-service solutions Kent Phillips. "This new technology will undoubtedly have a huge impact in the marketplace, as it benefits both the merchant and the ATM owner or operator."
