Wireless |
Over the last few years, the price of the wireless communications technologies has dropped dramatically. Increasingly, the economics justify their broad use in the transaction terminal market. In fact, mobile phone data rates are now lower than fixed phone line fees in many countries. This opens many opportunities to the electronic transaction market. No longer is the credit or debit card carrying consumer restricted to conventional retail locations that require a phone line as mobile wireless payment options increase.
Wireless payment options open many opportunities to merchants and consumers, such as
 |
Street merchants |
|
Special events / temporary locations |
|
Stadiums and sports events |
|
Pay at table (Hospitality) |

Wireless terminals and peripherals are not restricted to the GPRS or CDMA cellular phone networks. Bluetooth offers secure, low power, and affordable wireless connectivity. Bluetooth can be used over a wide area, similar to WiFi, connecting multiple devices to a common access point, and then back to IP/Internet. Advantages include increased security and ability to connect many classes of peripherals to the network. Bluetooth can also be used in a short-area personal network connecting to mobile phones, PDA, or laptops. By leveraging the existing cellular or internet connectivity of these host devices, transactions can be performed securely and affordably.
Blue Bamboo is committed to realizing secure, reliable, and affordable wireless solutions that increase mobile merchant participation in the market. The modular communication approach to the H50 Terminal support for a wide-range of communication options, and the P25 Printer family adoption of Bluetooth are the first products realizing this approach.
