Additional Product Information
Smart Technology Solutions awarded "Visa Chip Vendor of the Year 2002" in March for product Emvelink for its ubiquitous any POS, any Card Payment System, any smart card reader approach. "Cost-effective migration from mag. stripe to smart", Processing smart card transactions is significantly more complex than for magnetic stripe. The software development and approval cycle to provide EMV (Europay MasterCard Visa) capability represents a substantial investment. Emvelink provides the simplest and most cost-effective means of upgrading existing point of sale software to accept EMV smart cards, as now being issued in the UK and other European countries. Emvelink is a software component that enables PC-based point of sale and similar systems with integrated EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) capabilities to accept EMV smart cards. Emvelink incorporates all the necessary logic to perform complete Level 2 EMV transaction processing to EMV 4.0(2000), including the latest APACS standards, - Interfaces to several EMV Level 1 approved smart card readers, - Preserves existing investment in EFT software and magnetic stripe hardware, - Uses the point of sale PC processor rather than processor in external reader, * Developed in Java for maximum portability, * Point of sale interface presented as JavaBean or ActiveX control, * Built in test and initial set-up facility, * Comprehensive error logging and exception reporting, * Compliant with the British Retail Consortium's (BRC) Chip Card Architecture, "There are major benefits to be gained from a unified, open approach, one of which is the ability to mix and match components from different vendors.", Emvelink builds on the investment of the past and provides a solid platform for the future. Emvelink is targeted at new and existing integrated Point of Sale systems. Uses an inexpensive smart card reader which can be shared with other smart card applications.
