SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 15, 2001

@pos, Inc. (www.atpos.com) (OTCBB:EPOS), a technology licensing pioneer in web-enabling the point-of-sale and point-of-presence environments, today introduced the iPOS TC II point-of-sale (POS) technology reference design on January 15, 2001, at the National Retail Federation's Annual Convention and Expo, in New York City.

The merchant demand is increasing for services that address consumer value-added programs, reduced telecommunications costs, and convergence with the internet. @pos' iPOS TC II reference design enables POS device designers to deliver such a solution that provides special features such as: higher memory capacity, increased security features, software enhancements and internet connectivity.

The iPOS TC II reference design, based on the Intel StrongArm 1110 processor, provides a flexible environment for @pos' licensee partners to engineer POS terminal devices and yield quicker time to market. With iPOS TC II technology, POS devices can have features that may include a magnetic stripe reader, virtual PINpad, smart card interface, configurable memory sizes, variety of communication interfaces, and a myriad of display sizes and types. When configured with a 10-Base-T Ethernet option, the iPOS TC II enables dynamic advertisements and promotions to be displayed on the device. Without the 10-Base-T Ethernet, the device may act as a client to host static advertisements.

"@pos is excited to participate in the NRF Expo. The expo provides an opportunity to introduce our new iPOS TC II technology to the retail industry. In addition, we will showcase our iPOS TC technology that enables POS devices to leverage the Internet infrastructure in order to display messages and services to customers as well as processing their payment information, including digital signatures," said Llavan Fernando, Chief Executive Officer of @pos.
