1331  THE TECHNO CLUB [ TECHNOWORLDINC.COM ] / Techno News / Zurmont Madison Private Equity acquires majority interest in CLS Communication A on: July 13, 2009, 04:09:43 PM
Zurich, 13 July 2009: Zurmont Madison Private Equity L.P. ("Zurmont Madison") has acquired a majority interest in the leading language services provider CLS Communication AG ("CLS"). The deal consists of a partial buyout of the existing managing shareholders combined with an increase in the company's equity. The funds will be used to make further acquisitions and finance ongoing global expansion. On completion of the transaction, the existing management team headed by CEO Doris Albisser will hold a substantial minority interest.

CLS Communication was formed in 1997 as a spin-off from the language services departments of Swiss Bank Corporation (now UBS) and Zurich Insurance and was incorporated with registered office in Basel. Today CLS is a provider of integrated multilingual communication services in its core areas of finance, insurance, life sciences, telecommunications and legal. The company is one of the 15 largest global language services providers and is the market leader in Switzerland. A number of major companies have outsourced their language services to CLS. As a provider of integrated multilingual communication and language technology solutions, CLS offers a broad range of services. These include copywriting and editing, human and machine translation, terminology databases as well as integrated client applications. In 2008 the company posted sales of around CHF 60 million with an internal headcount of 350 linguists and related specialists. In addition to its own employees CLS has a global network of over 1600 external language specialists throughout the world. As a technology innovator CLS employs state-of-the-art language technology and complies with the most stringent banking confidentiality requirements.

Zurmont Madison's investment will secure the equity funding required to execute the company's international growth strategy. The language services market is extremely fragmented and therefore offers good expansion opportunities to a leading provider with a strong capital base. As a result of the transaction, new directors from Zurmont Madison Management AG, Zurich, will join the CLS board of directors, which currently consists of Alfred Niederer, Markus Hildbrand and Doris Albisser. The new members are Guido Patroncini, Andreas Ziegler and Michel Hirschi. The company's operational management will remain in the hands of the present executive team.

Guido Patroncini, founding partner of Zurmont Madison Management AG, said: "We look forward to embarking on the next stages of growth together with the successful CLS team. Zurmont Madison will offer financial backing as well as support for the execution of a buy-and-build strategy."

Doris Albisser, CEO of CLS: "With Zurmont Madison we have found a shareholder that fits well with CLS and is committed to long-term success. This capital injection will enable us to continue and redouble our growth efforts. We look forward to a successful and constructive partnership."

About Zurmont Madison Management AG:
The private equity team of Zurmont Madison Management AG, Zurich, (www.zurmontmadison.ch) has closed 17 private equity deals to date for a total equity investment of CHF 375 million and is focused on equity financing for corporate successions, MBOs and spin-offs of corporate groups in Switzerland, Germany and Austria.

1333  THE TECHNO CLUB [ TECHNOWORLDINC.COM ] / Techno News / International symposium shows that all paths lead to PDF/A on: July 06, 2009, 04:42:24 PM
(Berlin) Just under 220 attendees from 13 countries, high-powered keynote speakers, fascinating user reports and T-Systems as the 100th member: the third International PDF/A Conference was a complete success for the PDF/A Competence Center. This year’s event demonstrated once more the growing importance of PDF/A. International projects show that this format for long-term archiving is finding acceptance worldwide. As PDF/A becomes more established, the PDF/A Competence Center membership continues to increase. The association was pleased to welcome T-Systems at the symposium as its 100th member.

“For increasing numbers of companies and public authorities, the introduction of PDF/A is no longer a question,” stated Harald Grumser, CEO of the PDF/A Competence Center. “It is more a matter for the persons responsible to find the right ways and strategies. Here the user reports from various sectors were an excellent source of information for those attending the symposium.

Once again the PDF/A Competence Center succeeded in attracting outstanding speakers for its conference. Bernhard Zöller from the management consultancy Zöller & Partner GmbH explained, for example, why PDF/A is the first choice for format consolidation. PDF/A has particularly clear advantages for archiving colored documents. Stephen Levenson, an IT specialist for strategy and planning at the administrative office of the US courts in Washington, explained how his institution minimized the costs of migration by using PDF/A. Leonard Rosenthol, a PDF standards architect at Adobe Systems, gave a keynote speech with interesting information on the continued development of the ISO standard for long-term archiving of PDF documents, in which he emphasized that PDF/A-1 will remain a valid format and is fully upward compatible with PDF/A-2. “Generally, PDF/A-1 will continue to be used even after PDF/A-2 is adopted. PDF/A-2 should only be used if it is really necessary to do so because of corresponding technical advancements,” said Rosenthol.

The two user presentations also found great resonance. Jacob Bielfeldt from the health insurance provider Techniker Krankenkasse showed how his organization introduced PDF/A throughout the company in phases. Dr. Silke Stapel from the EU Publications Office reported on the successful conversion to PDF/A in the digital library.

Each of the parallel tracks for subject and sector issues went into detail. Legal aspects to consider for long-term archiving or storage of e-mail sparked particular interest, as did discussions of the efficient use of metadata and the differences between PDF/A-1a and PDF/A-1b.

The concluding panel discussion which included representatives from the professional associations AIIM, Aproged and VOI underscored the growing international spread of PDF/A. For example, in recent months the governments of Argentina, Brazil, China and Uruguay have adopted PDF/A as a national standard for digital long-term archiving. Betsy Fanning from the AIIM explained how in the USA, many states are developing regulations for the use of PDF/A. In Europe PDF/A is already established in numerous countries.

Just before the symposium, T-Systems joined the PDF/A Competence Center as its hundredth member. Altogether the professional association now has 101 members from about 20 countries.

About PDF/A
The ISO 19005 standard (PDF/A) defines requirements for creating documents suitable for archiving based on the widely available PDF format. The standard specifies in detail what content is allowed and what is not. These and other specifications are intended to ensure long-term readability of the documents regardless of the application software and operating system in which they were originally produced. The advantages of PDF/A such as full-text search capabilities have led it to already replace TIFF as the preferred archiving format in numerous international governmental organizations as well as in private industries.

About the PDF/A Competence Center
The PDF/A Competence Center was established as an international association in 2006. The objective of the association is to promote the exchange of information and experience in the field of long-term archiving in accordance with ISO 19005 (PDF/A). The management board is composed of executives from callas software GmbH, Compart AG, intarsys consulting GmbH, LuraTech Europe GmbH, PDF Tools AG (CH), PDFlib GmbH and SEAL Systems AG. Within less than three years, more than 100 companies and various experts from about 20 countries have joined the PDF/A Competence Center. The executive chairman is Harald Grumser, CEO of Compart AG, Dr. Hans Baerfuss, CEO of PDF Tools AG, Switzerland, is the executive vice-chairman.

1334  THE TECHNO CLUB [ TECHNOWORLDINC.COM ] / Techno News / Custom Design Automation Leader Pulsic Granted Patent For Routing According To C on: July 02, 2009, 03:25:14 PM
Bristol, England – July 2nd, 2009 - Pulsic Limited, the leader in custom design automation (CDA®), today announces that it has been granted US Patent (11383658) for a unique routing innovation incorporated in its market-leading physical chip design software. This important patent, titled “Automatic routing nets according to current density rules”, protects unique technology incorporated in Pulsic’s UniRoute automated router.

By taking into account the current required by the individual branches in a net, UniRoute is able to optimise a net’s width. This innovation creates the smallest net width that satisfies the electro-migration rules for current density. Optimising the net widths not only eliminates the risk of electro-migration but also significantly reduces IR losses and minimises routing area. For layout engineers, this eliminates the need to estimate current densities and manually calculate varying net-widths for high fan-out interconnects.

Mark Waller, Vice President of Research and Development for Pulsic, said, “Without this technique, nets are either over-engineered and so take up too much area, or manual intervention causes current density rule violations that need to be fixed late in the design cycle. UniRoute’s unique approach optimises net width during automatic routing, taking into account current needs throughout the net and reducing branch sizes accordingly.”

UniRoute is part of Pulsic’s flagship product Unity™, a complete custom design automation solution for the physical design of high volume ICs. Unity combines three other key components - UniPlan™ (hierarchical floorplanning), UniPlace™ (placement) and UniEdit™ (editing) - with timing, signal integrity, ECO and DFM functionality to provide a truly unique design environment.

Unity has been designed to increase productivity, decrease design area and increase yield for even the most challenging custom digital, mixed-signal and analog IC designs.

1336  THE TECHNO CLUB [ TECHNOWORLDINC.COM ] / Techno News / ip.access earns double honours at inaugural Femtocell Industry Awards on: June 29, 2009, 09:35:48 PM
June 29 2009 - ip.access, the multi-award winning developer of picocell and femtocell solutions, added to its impressive haul of industry accolades when it scooped an Awards double at the Femto Forum’s inaugural Femtocell Industry Awards held in London last week.

The ceremony took place last Wednesday evening as part of the Femtocells World Summit. A judging panel of industry analysts and representatives from leading wireless trade bodies voted the ip.access nano3G solution the winner in the category for “Femtocell or femtocell network element design and technology innovation”. Its “Facebook Virtual Fridge Notes” application also triumphed in the “Femtocell service (commercial, prototype or demo)” category.

The ip.access nano3G is an 8-channel Access Point which delivers a localised 3G cellular signal over a range of up to 200 metres. It uses the same architecture as the award-winning ip.access Oyster 3G consumer femtocell, and enables mobile operators to provide high-quality 3G coverage and capacity into offices, shops and other locations where cellular signals cannot easily penetrate.

As the trend to all-mobile office communications continues, operators can use the nano3G to compete more aggressively in the Small to Medium Enterprise (SME) market, as an effective way to guarantee 3G voice quality and data connectivity in offices.

The “Facebook Virtual Fridge Notes” application was developed by ip.access and unveiled at this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. It uses a femtocell’s handset detection capability to pick up the presence of a registered user’s phone, and then deliver reminder messages sent via their Facebook profile, as soon as they arrive home.

The application is available for operators to offer to their femtocell subscribers, and works on any SMS capable handset. The new iPhone version actually displays the messages on a virtual fridge, allowing the recipient to manage them just like real fridge notes.

Commenting on the double Awards triumph, ip.access CEO Stephen Mallinson said, “ip.access is delighted to win two categories at the first ever Femtocell Industry Awards. As worldwide interest in and demand for effective in-building cell solutions grows among mobile operators, this latest success is testament to ip.access’ commitment to innovation and excellence – in both our market-leading products and also our exciting new femto applications and services.”

"The judges were extremely impressed by the high quality and number of award submissions. In light of this the judging process was extremely difficult but ip.access stood out and was deserving of its awards," said Simon Saunders, Chairman of the Femto Forum. "The femtocell industry is rapidly evolving as major advances are made in the technology, standards, services and applications - these awards recognise and reward this progress. Our congratulations to ip.access and to all those who participated."

1337  THE TECHNO CLUB [ TECHNOWORLDINC.COM ] / Techno News / Airvana, ip.access and Ubiquisys to Align Femtocell API Efforts on: June 23, 2009, 08:51:33 PM
Chelmsford, MA, Cambridge, UK and Swindon, UK – June 23, 2009 – Airvana, Inc. (NASDAQ: AIRV), ip.access, and Ubiquisys today announced that the three companies have pledged to support the Services Special Interest Group (SIG) recently formed by the Femto Forum by working together towards a common service framework and application program interfaces (APIs). The Services SIG’s mission is to develop a framework to simplify the development and deployment of femtocell applications, which includes efforts to establish a set of standard APIs. As widely recognised supporters of a femtozone applications development environment based on open standards, Airvana, ip.access and Ubiquisys have already begun working together to advance the goals of the Services SIG.

Femtocells sit at the intersection of multiple networks including mobile, Internet, home and office - all of which are fundamental to people’s lives. The intelligence within the femtocell, for example presence and digital content visibility, can be used by application logic residing in any of these networks. The SIG’s work will help the industry establish a framework that encompasses all of these options and establish a common approach.

Several unique attributes of femtocell technology make the devices highly suited for supporting an interesting array of applications. First, they change the economics of mobile data by providing massive bandwidth indoors to mobile devices at very low cost. Second, femtocells make sophisticated presence-based applications simple for not only users of cutting edge smart phones but also everyday legacy feature phones. And finally they make it easy for people to share their digital content across various previously isolated networks.

"Femtocells open the door for exciting applications that can deliver a new, and highly valuable dimension to how customers use their mobile devices," said Simon Saunders, the Femto Forum’s Chair. "To see femtocell vendors come together in this way is a powerful validation of the potential femtozone services have to change the way both mobile operators and their subscribers view mobile devices."

An open development environment based on freely accessible, standard APIs is critical to drive developer interest and create greater opportunities for the widespread adoption of femtozone applications. Airvana, ip.access, and Ubiquisys are dedicated to ensuring that application developers have access to this type of open framework and invite developers and other industry vendors to support this effort.

"Femtozone applications greatly expand the value femtocells can deliver to both mobile operators and their subscribers beyond the already recognised improvements in indoor voice coverage and packet data user experience," explained Dr. Vedat Eyuboglu, CTO of Airvana. "Femtozone applications allow the femtocell to become the center of the connected digital home by bridging consumers’ mobile and home environments. This is why we are joining forces with ip.access and Ubiquisys in the advancement of femtozone applications through our involvement in the Femto Forum’s Services SIG."

"We believe collaboration on femto services is the right approach," said Dr. Nick Johnson, CTO of ip.access. "The power of the femtocell as a platform for new services can only be fully realised if femtocell vendors cooperate to create an open, standards based development environment. The Femto Forum provides an ideal place for us to work alongside other vendors who share the same commitment."

"Femtocells are intelligent devices that blur traditional boundaries between internet, mobile and devices on the home and office LAN," said Will Franks, Founder and CTO of Ubiquisys. "As a result, femtocell intelligence can be harnessed by applications running almost anywhere. That’s why we support the work of the Femto Forum to establish a common approach to femtocell APIs, which will make it easier for developers to femto-enable their apps."

The new application makes use of a femtocell’s ability to detect home presence, sending someone a reminder message as soon as he or she arrives home. ip.access’ “fridge notes” service works on any SMS capable handset, but the new iPhone version actually displays the messages on a virtual fridge, allowing the recipient to manage them just like real fridge notes. The message, which can be composed and sent using Facebook, can be unpeeled, moved to a corner of the fridge door, or removed altogether if the message is no longer relevant.

“Since the very early days, the industry has been discussing the potential for new applications based on the home presence information provided by a femtocell. The virtual fridge integrates the femtocell with two of the world’s most popular communication mediums – Facebook and the iPhone – to deliver a useful new service,” says Stephen Mallinson, CEO at ip.access. “As the preferred communication hub for millions of people around the world, Facebook is the ideal place to leave reminder messages for friends, who can use the iPhone’s unique user interface to manage the important jobs they need to do at home.”

The application also uses a femtocell’s home presence detection capability to automatically update a person’s Facebook status, meaning all their friends and family can see when they’ve arrived home.

ip.access has taken a strong lead in promoting femtocell services, and has helped to initiate the Femto Forum Services Special Interest Group (SIG), which seeks to foster a developer community to build femtocell services. It was also the first company to demonstrate femtocell-enabled connected home services, showcasing many different uses of femtocell technology in a home environment.

A video showing the Facebook Virtual Fridge Notes demonstration can be found at: http://3ginthehome.wordpress.com/2009/02/13/virtual-fridge-notes/. ip.access will also be demonstrating the new iPhone application throughout the Femtocells World Summit.

1339  THE TECHNO CLUB [ TECHNOWORLDINC.COM ] / Techno News / Custom Design Automation Leader Pulsic Launches Unity™ 2009.1 With Unique Automa on: June 18, 2009, 04:11:53 PM
Bristol, England – June 18th, 2009 - Pulsic Limited, the leader in custom design automation (CDA®), today announces the immediate availability of the latest release of their groundbreaking physical chip design software suite, Unity 2009.1.
Running on OpenAccess, Unity 2009.1 improves dataflow management with a common options format that will run across all projects. This enables design teams to ensure compatibility and improves design set up times.

Additionally, Unity 2009.1 features a new bus routing option, “flow-routing”. With flow-routing, a bus will automatically route (flow) around obstacles by splitting and re-grouping. Tolerances can be set for obstacle size to optimise layout area.

Mark Waller, Vice President of Research and Development for Pulsic, explains, “We believe designers will derive huge time savings from our new flow-routing option. Instead of having to either keep a bus together or manually splitting a bus, flow-routing performs the whole task automatically and at the same time, under the control of the designer. With our OA support we have focused on reducing cycle times with other design environments by providing seamless integration.”

UniRoute is part of Pulsic’s flagship product Unity™, a complete custom design automation solution for the physical design of high volume ICs. Unity combines three other key components - UniPlan™ (hierarchical floorplanning), UniPlace™ (placement) and UniEdit™ (editing)- with timing, signal integrity, ECO and DFM functionality to provide a truly unique design environment.

Unity has been designed to increase productivity, decrease design area and increase yield for even the most challenging custom digital, mixed-signal and analog IC designs.

1341  THE TECHNO CLUB [ TECHNOWORLDINC.COM ] / Techno News / Nearly all archiving projects use PDF/A on: June 12, 2009, 05:25:07 PM
Berlin, Germany - 12 June 2009. Awareness of the ISO standard for long-term archiving, PDF/A, has spread throughout Europe to the point that it is considered in nearly all projects. This was revealed in a survey performed by the PDF/A Competence Center at the end of 2008. A comparison with the results of the 2007 survey showed a steady increase in the number of users. About 400 persons in companies and public institutions were questioned; approximately half of these intend to introduce PDF/A in the next twelve months. At the same time, the number of those working with older archiving formats such as TIFF, JPEG or simple PDF decreased by about five percent.

Moreover, the survey clearly showed that PDF/A is used with increasing frequency for e-mail archiving.

There are many reasons for using PDF/A, among them the guarantee that users who choose the format will be able to read the documents for many years to come. This satisfies legal requirements and ensures that the digitally archived information remains available for decades or longer. Thus many have switched to the format, which was first published in 2005, to ensure the highest level of security for the future of their information.

In its survey on the current situation regarding PDF/A, the Competence Center found that 95 percent of the IT decision makers surveyed know of PDF/A, 16 percent use it actively and 75 percent plan to introduce in the near- to long-term.

Moreover, the survey provided information on current and future areas of application for PDF/A. It is used primarily in the digitization of documents as well as for converting digital original documents and existing PDF files. Compared with the 2007 survey, there was a noticeable increase in its use for e-mail archiving. This can be attributed to the growing number of e-mail archiving projects which are currently being carried out due to statutory regulations.

"The advantages of archiving with PDF/A are increasingly the decisive factor. There is hardly a project today where PDF/A is not at least considered as a possible format," explained Rainer Lemke, CEO of the PDF/A Competence Center. "The education efforts so far by the PDF/A Competence Center continue to bear fruit here and ensure ongoing growth with the spread of PDF/A. Nonetheless, the survey showed that there are still a lot of companies which simply archive their documents in the original format, a very risky procedure that affects the future reproducibility of the documents."

Archiving in the original format cannot meet the statutory requirements for long-term availability of documents subject to auditing, and it is risky, because the readability of the information cannot be ensured after a few years given the rapid pace of IT development. In some cases, content can only be made accessible with considerable effort and expense. Therefore an appropriate strategy which complies with the law is unavoidable for every company.

About PDF/A
The ISO 19005 standard (PDF/A) defines requirements for creating documents suitable for archiving based on the widely available PDF format. The standard specifies in detail what content is allowed and what is not. These and other specifications are intended to ensure long-term readability of the documents regardless of the application software and operating system in which they were originally produced. The advantages of PDF/A such as full-text search capabilities have led it to already replace TIFF as the preferred archiving format in numerous international governmental organizations as well as in private industries.

About the PDF/A Competence Center
The PDF/A Competence Center was established as an international association in 2006. The objective of the association is to promote the exchange of information and experience in the field of long-term archiving in accordance with ISO 19005 (PDF/A). The management board is composed of executives from callas software GmbH, Compart AG, intarsys consulting GmbH, LuraTech Europe GmbH, PDF Tools AG (CH), PDFlib GmbH and SEAL Systems AG. Within less than two years, more than 85 companies and various experts from more than 20 countries joined the PDF/A Competence Center. The executive chairman is Harald Grumser, CEO of Compart AG, Dr. Hans Baerfuss, CEO of PDF Tools AG, Switzerland, is the executive vice-chairman.

1343  THE TECHNO CLUB [ TECHNOWORLDINC.COM ] / Techno News / ip.access revs up coverage for Monaco Telecom on: May 22, 2009, 08:03:20 PM
Cambridge, 22 May 2009 – ip.access (www.ipaccess.com), the multi-award winning developer of picocell and femtocell solutions, today announced that Monaco Telecom will deploy its nanoBTS® picocell system, to boost the operator’s mobile network capacity during the F1 Monaco Grand Prix. The deal comes on the back of Monaco Telecom’s successful deployment of nanoBTS systems to service VIP’s, Enterprises and hotels in the principality.

ip.access will install a number of nanoBTS picocells on-site in the Monaco F1 Grand Prix press office, providing additional GSM coverage and network capacity to deal with the expected surge in mobile phone usage throughout the Grand Prix weekend. The extra capacity will result in fewer dropped calls, less network interruptions and a vastly improved quality of service for customers using Monaco Telecom’s network.

“The Grand Prix weekend will see more than 100,000 people from around the world descend on Monaco, each demanding a reliable and high quality mobile network when using their phone,” said Jean-Philippe Alfonsi, Marketing Director at Monaco Telecom. “ip.access’ picocell solution is quick and easy to install, making use of our existing on-site broadband connection to provide the most cost-effective way of temporarily boosting coverage, which will be vital as the crowds begin to arrive. We look forward to working with ip.access again to deliver excellent mobile services throughout the highlight of the 2009 F1 season.”

Traditionally, Monaco Telecom has deployed expensive on-site trucks at the event, which are equipped with a large base transceiver station (BTS) and take up a significant amount of the limited space at the event. The ip.access nanoBTS picocells will be installed on the office walls within the newsroom and VIP areas to free-up additional room for people to move around the site easily.

“Events like the Monaco Grand Prix result in thousands of people attempting to use their mobile phones from the same location, at a single point in time,” said Dr Andy Tiller, VP marketing at ip.access. “This stretches network capacity to the limit and often results in people suffering a poor user experience when attempting to make a call. Our nanoBTS picocells provide a simple way of dealing with this problem, providing the temporary boost in coverage required to cope with the surge in network activity.”

The nanoBTS picocells are a complete GSM “basestation” solution, using the standard Um interface to the handset and an Abis interface carried over IP for the backhaul. ip.access is working with Grand Prix organisers, Automobile Club de Monaco, to ensure the solution is fully installed in the press centre for the start of the event, which will run from 21 – 24 May, 2009.

1344  THE TECHNO CLUB [ TECHNOWORLDINC.COM ] / Techno News / VeriFone Announces QX1000 Plug-and-Play Advanced Contactless Solution on: May 18, 2009, 04:50:00 PM
DUBAI – May 18, 2009 (Cards Middle East Conference) – VeriFone Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PAY), today announced the QX1000 plug-and-play solution for adding contactless card payment acceptance to existing point-of-sale devices, electronic cash registers (ECR) and PCs. The QX1000 is based on an advanced contactless architecture that utilizes a single contactless interface (SingleCI) and incorporates the most sought-after features in user-friendly design and customer branding.

The QX1000 is a global contactless solution from the leader in payments and is suited to the widest range of EMV and mag-stripe contactless cards from Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express, as well as non-payment applications such as MiFare. Installation involves quick connections via factory-installed USB or serial options.

Fully compatible with common industry interfaces, VeriFone’s SingleCI enables acquirers to leverage their existing investments in contactless platforms. In addition, it future-proofs new investments by providing development tools that enable acquirers to easily add new features and applications, and adapt to future technologies, such as Near-Field Communications (NFC).

“The QX1000 is a brilliantly simple contactless solution for seamlessly upgrading payment systems to accept contactless cards today and, in the future, NFC payments from mobile devices,” said Paul Rasori, VeriFone executive vice president, global marketing. “ One contactless solution, with global certifications, satisfies multiple markets and standards.”

VeriFone’s advanced contactless architecture supports software-based security access modules (SoftSAM) for multiple payment and non-payment applications, such as transit. SoftSAMs can eliminate the need for hardware-based SAMs and offer the flexibility of remote updates.

The QX1000 architecture supports “side-by-side” applications, which creates an easy way to re-certify just one application when payment specifications change, instead of having to re-certify all applications in use.

Ideal for a variety of retailers – from quick service restaurants and petro stations to retail stores, parking garages, movie theaters and sports arenas – the QX1000’s “touch and go” design and high-speed processor keeps checkout lanes moving. Multiple LEDs and a buzzer clearly communicate transaction status to both the consumer and the merchant allowing for a quick and easy payment experience.

The system will be available beginning in June.
