Product: EtherSDLC
Company: Precidia Technologies, Inc.

In the quest for bringing merchants speedier transactions, many ISOs and merchant level salespeople are looking to the Internet. Precidia Technologies, Inc. now offers an IP access product, EtherSDLC, which connects Hypercom Corp. point-of-sale terminals to IP LAN/WAN networks, such as through private frame relay and satellite.

Precidia is targeting this product to single-lane merchants such as convenience stores and multi-lane retail merchants like quick service (QSR) restaurants where transaction speed is of utmost necessity.

Precidia said there are a number of benefits for both merchants and processors, including improved transaction speeds and a reduction of communication costs from the elimination of duplicate networks and dedicated dial lines. Merchants can also use their existing Hypercom POS terminals-and not have to invest in new equipment.

Paymentech, LP has Class B certified the EtherSDLC on Hypercom LAN capable terminals in retail, restaurant and lodging applications.
