Triton standard will require license for use in 2010
October 25, 2009
Triton Systems of Delaware Inc.developed its communications protocol or retail standard for off-premises ATMs in the early 1990s. Since that time, the standard has been open — free for anyone to use. But, beginning in 2010, Triton will require a license to use the standard, which also is being updated.
James Phillips, the director of North American sales for ATMGurus, a Triton company, says Triton's decision to require a license for the standard falls in line with market changes and allows ATM manufacturers to purchase a license for the new standard, giving them access to future functionality that the current standard will not incorporate. The current standard will continue to exist as it is, but a licnese agreement will be required for the new standard.
"As the market has changed, Triton has decided to change how it allows others to use that protocol," Phillips said. "Now, we are licensing the protocol to the competition."
Now through the end of the year, Triton is notifying all ATM deployers who currently use the standard of the upcoming licensing change. Licenses for the protocol will be issued on a per-terminal basis.
"If you don't want to upgrade, you don't have to," Phillips said. "You can continue to use the current standard as long as you want. But to take advantage of future features that are built into the new standard, you will have to have a license."
