SkyeTek's Readers Enable Cashless Payment at Cold-Drink Vending Machines.Isochron Selects SkyeTek, Incorporates M2 HF RFID Reader A transmitter/receiver that reads the contents of RFID tags in the vicinity. Also called an "RFID interrogator." The maximum distance between the reader's antenna and the tag vary, depending on application. Module into Secure, Cashless Payment Solution WESTMINSTER, Colo. -- SkyeTek, Inc., the leading provider of embedded RFID reader technology, today announced that it has entered into a technology partnership with Isochron LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol. LLC - Logical Link Control , a leader in intelligent, networked vending technology for the food and beverage F&B is a common abbreviation in the United States and Commonwealth countries, including Hong Kong. F&B is typically the widely accepted abbreviation for "Food and Beverage," which is the sector/industry that specializes in the conceptualization, the making of, and delivery of foods. industry. Isochron selected SkyeTek's M2 contactless payment Contactless payment systems are credit cards, key fobs, or other devices which use RFID for making secure payments. The built in chip and antenna enable consumers to wave their card or fob over a reader at the point of sale. module as the embedded RFID reader to enable secure, cashless payment at cold-drink vending machines. With robust read performance, onboard security, and contactless payment support, the M2 is the clear leader in performance, reliability, and security protection among contactless payment reader modules. "Our networked platform for cold-drink vending requires the highest read reliability and security in the smallest possible form factor," stated Bryan Godwin, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. and President of Isochron. "We evaluated all of the major providers of contactless payment readers and SkyeTek's M2 platform was the only one to meet all of our criteria." SkyeTek's Advanced Universal Reader Architecture (AURA) is the foundation for the M2 contactless payment reader module which provides industry-leading tag support, read range / reliability, and security at the highest levels of cost- / space- / power-efficiency. The M2 has passed testing in support of Mastercard Paypass, Visa Contactless, and Amex ExpressPay and incorporates state-of-the art encryption and digital signature technology - the same algorithms used in the Department of Defense and financial services The examples and perspective in this article or section may not represent a worldwide view of the subject.

"Our embeddable reader technology for contactless payment will allow machines and equipment, traditionally limited to cash only payment, to now receive cashless payment," commented Rob Balgley, CEO of SkyeTek. "Contactless payment will revolutionize payment, turning parking meters, personal computers, cell phones, kiosks, and vending machines into contactless payment enabled devices, many of which will send POS (1) See point of sale and packet over SONET. (2) "Parent over shoulder." See digispeak. POS - point of sale data wirelessly back to the corporate IT network for decision support analysis and just-in-time inventory management." SkyeTek offers its technology to OEMs, systems integrators, and distributors as reader modules (which include a ReaderWare license) or ReaderWare software licenses In computing, software that is copyrighted and licensed under a software license is done under a variety of licensing schemes. For end-users there are proprietary licenses and there are free software licenses, and there are proprietary Within these schemes are further classifications. . Licensing provides these customers with access to ReaderDNA reference designs, allowing them to integrate the technology directly into their product design and realize 40 to 70 percent cost savings versus a typical reader module. About SkyeTek, Inc. SkyeTek, Inc. develops reader technology that enables the pervasive adoption of RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) A data collection technology that uses electronic tags for storing data. The tag, also known as an "electronic label," "transponder" or "code plate," is made up of an RFID chip attached to an antenna. as an embedded feature in existing products. Customers use SkyeTek's technology to create new applications for their product lines in areas such as anti-counterfeiting, configuration management, consumables authentication, item-level inventory, patient safety, patron management, contactless payment, and mobile data collection. SkyeTek specifically designed AURA to serve as the multi-frequency, universal reader architecture for embedded RFID applications. AURA's common architecture disaggregates the RFID reader into a ReaderWare software layer, optimized for broad tag support, reader intelligence and easy application integration, and ReaderDNA hardware reference designs, crafted to optimize read range / performance while exploiting Moore's Law "The number of transistors and resistors on a chip doubles every 18 months." By Intel co-founder Gordon Moore regarding the pace of semiconductor technology. He made this famous comment in 1965 when there were approximately 60 devices on a chip. for gains in cost, space, and power efficiency. SkyeTek offers its AURA-based products as either a SkyeModule or ReaderWare license, which comes with access to ReaderDNA. Customers using SkyeTek represent numerous vertical markets and range from mid-market companies to Fortune 500 corporations. Based in Westminster, Colo., SkyeTek sells exclusively through OEMs, systems integrators, and distributors. For more information about SkyeTek, visit www.skyetek.com or call 720-565-0441.
