Product: MRT320 POS handheld terminal
Company: MP2 Solutions Inc.

Terminals that tap into wireless local area networks give merchants flexibility for on-site, real-time transaction processing.

And roving employees can capture card data at the point of delivery for later batch processing, reducing a merchant's non-qualified fees.

The Mobile Retail Terminal 320 from MP2 Solutions combines Windows Mobile with productivity-enhancing features, such as bar code scanning, magnetic stripe reading, printing and real-time wireless authorization.

Wireless connectivity also gives merchants access to terminal information when their employees are on-site.

When they roam off-site, the device's 256-megabyte memory (half of which is Flash) and batch processing capabilities let them store information in an SQL Mobile database until the data can be downloaded to the merchant's server.

The terminal is said to support signature capture and secure, encrypted access control. Communications include universal serial bus (USB) 1.1 and a Wi-Fi module.

The bi-directional, three-track mag stripe reader accepts credit, gift, stored value and ID cards. The device uses Wi-Fi for WLAN access.

The unit runs on an Intel XScale 520-megahertz processor. The integrated thermal printer delivers 12 lines per second. A Secure Digital Input/Output memory expansion slot enables users to add a Bluetooth adapter, global positioning system receiver or RFID reader.

The lithium-ion battery runs for eight to 10 hours on a single charge. An onboard backup battery system provides up to 30 minutes of temporary power, allowing the user to change battery packs without losing data.

A charging cradle is included, which gives a full charge in five hours.

The unit includes a speaker and a headphone jack; audio supports the AC97 format. The terminal weighs 3.1 pounds and measures 9.4 by 2.3 inches. It retails for $1,250.
