Infinite Peripherals intros new EMV mPOS products

The Infinea mPOS and Infinea mPOS Flat are all-in-one mPOS products for the iPhone 5 and the iPod touch 5th and 6th generations.

Infinite Peripherals, a provider of enterprise mobility products, Tuesday introduced the Infinea mPOS and Infinea mPOS Flat, all-in-one mPOS products for the iPhone 5 and the iPod touch 5th and 6th generations, according to a press release.

Infinite said that the MFi-certified Infinea mPOS integrates a magnetic stripe reader, PIN pad and NFC capabilities to handle any kind of transaction, including magnetic card, chip card and contactless transactions. The product has a full set of EMV certifications — contact EMV level 1, EMV level 2, contactless EMV level 1 and the card brands' contactless certifications, according to the announcement.

"With the ongoing transition to EMV in the U.S., the growth of contactless payments, and pervasive security concerns, we are thrilled to be among the first to offer this versatile iOS-compatible device that equips merchants to meet all payment needs with one compact system," said Andrey Tikhonov, senior director of payment technology at IPC. "As a leader in enterprise mobility and the first company to mobilize iOS for the enterprise, IPC quickly delivers solutions that address a rapidly evolving payments industry."

 The Infinea mPOS connects to the iPhone or iPod touch via the lightning connector and includes a tactile keypad with 10 numeric and six function keys, in addition to a scanner with a 2D imager capable of reading 1D and 2D barcodes for operational efficiency, for example, for price checks and inventory management.

Infinite said the new Infinea mPOS Flat delivers the same benefits as the Infinea mPOS, but connects via Bluetooth to any iOS, Android, Windows, Windows Phone or Windows mobile device.
