Adjoined is currently working with Proximities to broaden functional capabilities and improve solution scalability for accommodating high volume transaction rates at the largest sports, leisure and entertainment industry events. Proximities' secure RFID wristbands enable patrons to quickly and conveniently gain access to public events, make purchases, and verify their age. Similar to Mobil's Speedpass(TM), which allows consumers to "pay at the pump," and EZ-Pass(SM), which eliminates the need for drivers to stop to pay tolls, the RFID wristbands can be linked to a credit card or debit account enabling consumers to purchase items without exchanging cash. Once removed, the wristbands are automatically disabled, providing added security for both the patron and merchant. Proximities' wristbands operate on a payment platform that can be integrated into other third party point-of-sale systems located at concession booths or running on mobile, wireless devices used to provide in-seat service. Working with the Proximities technology, Adjoined is helping clients develop and deploy RFID-based applications to streamline traditional cash-based purchases. Clients anticipate that this integrated payment platform will result in increased sales, reduced costs, more transparent security and a vastly improved customer experience.
