ontreal-based AnywhereCommerce took
mobile POS to the next level by introducing
a dual-track mag stripe card reader and
M Europay/MasterCard/Visa (EMV) chip
and PIN technology rolled into one device. The Nomad
2.0 mPOS solution weighs about four ounces and has
been streamlined to make it lighter and more compact
than the original model, the company reported.

Developed in-house by AnywhereCommerce, Nomad 2.0
was designed to make the transition from mag stripe to
EMV technology easy for mobile merchants well ahead
of the October 2015 deadline mandated by the major card
brands. The device features an LCD message display,
keypad, secured PIN pad and micro USB port for charging.

Nomad 2.0 has also achieved Payment Card Industry
(PCI) Data Security Standard compliance, EMVCO L1
and L2 certification, and Visa Ready approval. Relying
on Bluetooth technology, the device connects with most
major smartphone Wi-Fi–enabled devices and tablets
on the market, including the latest versions of Android,
Blackberry, iOS and Windows. Mobile merchants can
process debit, credit, gift and loyalty card transactions
using either mag stripe or EMV chip-and-PIN options,
according to AnywhereCommerce.

Advanced features of Nomad 2.0 include:
• EMV chip and PIN functionality and compliance
• PCI compliant and Visa Ready approved
• Bluetooth capability built-in
• Plug-and-play application programming interface
• Multiple smartphone and tablet platforms supported

"We believe that Nomad 2.0 represents a substantial
improvement over the other mobile payment
acceptance appliances in the marketplace," said Mitchell
Cobrin, founder and Chief Executive Director of
AnywhereCommerce. "Our team has worked hard to
create a powerful yet compact device that will provide
the fast, flexible and highly secure card-present payment
options that merchant services providers around the
world need to service their on-the-go customers."
Nomad 2.0 retail line busting and a variety of mPOS
environments including tradeshows, home services,
outdoor markets and concessions, and limousine and
taxi services. Nomad 2.0 comes ready "out of the box"
for merchants who choose to leverage its global payment
application and gateway platform. For more information,
