PIN-Flight Payments Processed by Handheld

Posted by John B. Frank Friday, November 21, 2008

Windows handheld collects in-flight payments
GuestLogix announced a Windows CE handheld computer that lets airline flight attendants accept payments via credit or debit cards. The "OnBoard PowerSeller 2" includes a PIN entry keypad, an MSR (magnetic strip reader), a Smart Card reader, an imager/barcode scanner, and a thermal printer, says GuestLogix.

No mention was given as to whether it is PCI certified.

GuestLogix calls the new PowerSeller 2 its "next generation" mobile payment handheld, apparently because the company's previous such product did not have a keypad allowing customers to enter their own PINs. The PED (pin entry device) subsystem is said to comply with ECBS (European Committee for Banking Standards) and a variety of other certifications. For high security, the PED hardware does its work independently, supplying output to applications running on the device but not requiring any assistance from them, the company says.

Thanks to the new PED, airline customers can now use both debit cards and credit cards to pay for duty-free goods, in-flight entertainment, and other items. The PowerSeller 2 reads cards via an onboard Smart Card reader or MSR, and can print receipts via its integral 2.3-inch thermal printer, GuestLogix says.

GuestLogix did not release pricing or availability information for the PowerSeller 2. More information may be available from the company's website, here.
