Wireless POS Terminals Move Where You Are
Jennifer Kingson reports for the New York Times on the increasing use of wireless point of sale acceptance devices by merchants now that wireless coverage is nearly everywhere with POS devices working with wireless networks in combination to be much more reliable.
Wireless credit card acceptance is not new. But within the last year or two, as wireless companies have improved their networks and hand-held devices have come down in price, the technology has started to look like an attractive alternative to dial-up payment machines.
Kingson goes on to discuss wireless POS security, the use of the devices as "line busters" by merchants including Apple, along with the new RFID-based contactless cards.
