ID Tech intros PIN-entry device

February 6, 2007

CYPRESS, Calif. - The new SmartPIN from ID Tech is designed to be built into self-service kiosks, ATMs, vending machines, gasoline pumps and similar applications.

"As the manufacturer of the SecurePIN hand-held PIN-entry products, the next logical step was the development of this robust panel-mounted PIN-pad product," said Terry Conant, ID Tech's executive vice president and chief technology officer.

The PIN pad is being released with options for a back-lit LCD and plastic or metal keys. The companion products will include a selection of Payment Card Industry-certified hybrid card readers for chip and PIN operations. The keys have both audio and tactile feedback. Additional features include selectable language options and a choice of a USB-CDC or RS232 communications interface.

SmartPIN also is designed for outdoor and unattended applications.
