VeriFone has announced a new Vx 810 DUET, a 2-in-1 payment system that incorporates a secure hand-held device tethered to a clerk-facing base unit. The Vx 810 DUET’s base features the same receipt printing and enhanced communications capabilities of traditional VeriFone countertop systems, including the ability to accept contactless payments, while providing a cradle for the hand-held unit that enables it to double as the clerk’s user interface.
The Vx 810 DUET includes a Secure Digital Input Output (SDIO) port to support add-on components. A field upgradeable contactless payment module will provide merchants and banks a cost-effective means to support any form of contactless payment whether presented via card, fob or NFC-enabled mobile device, the Web site reports. ![[end]](/resources/bullet/archive-4.gif)
