INETCO POSway

INETCO POSway connects Wireless, Dial, and Leased Line point-of-sale devices at a merchant site to an acquiring bank or processor. POSway supports POS transactions over a wide variety of networks, including IP, X.25, and SNA, and is fully scalable for large networks. Typical customers include retail merchants, financial institutions, carriers, and POS terminal manufacturers. POSway incorporates everything needed to connect credit and debit card transactions from a terminal at the point-of-sale to an EFT network, processor, or financial institution. Features include transaction routing, transaction aggregation, protocol conversion, and extensive network management.

POSway is typically used in environments where a multi-location, multi-lane merchant needs to create the infrastructure to extend or replace current services. Since POSway supports credit, debit, and loyalty transactions, it can be used for a variety of services or it can simply be used as a communications platform to connect to a private processor. POSway can work in several ways, as a regional concentrator, as a per store communications service, or at the central host site. As a regional concentrator, POSway can accept connections from an entire city's worth of POS traffic from the merchant stores, and send the data over a variety of networks to the store's main IS site. In a multi-lane store environment, POSway can connect the terminals within that store and send the traffic to the site or network with the authorization processor. In a central host environment, POSway can act as a host front-end-processor for access to any type of host computer. Migration to an IP and wireless network is accomplished by the use of Vista, a terminal adapter connecting leased line POS devices to POSway over IP.
