Payment POS-terminal Poynt Smart Terminal with a dual screen on Android

The company Poynt has released a portable POS (Point-of-Sale) terminal on Android, with two screens. The first screen is intended for the buyer - a diagonal of 7 '1280 x 800, the second for the seller is 4.3' 800 x 480.

The terminal is equipped with a thermal printer and a plastic card reader and wireless interfaces: WiFi, BLE, 4G, NFC, and EMV. Older PoS terminals such as USAT ePort G10 on Linux are a thing of the past. A new startup Poynt is focused on working with Google Wallet and PayPal. The terminal is equipped both on the client side and on the operator side with a high-resolution touch screen. Unlike traditional PoS terminals, a wider range of contactless payments and methods of payment for goods or services are provided.

The pre-sale of the Poynt Smart Terminal for $ 299 is open. In December, it will be possible to order a development kit for $ 499, which will be sent at the beginning of 2015. The Poynt Smart Terminal’s final retail price will be $ 499.

Sometimes sellers can not decide which of the existing payment systems they use, because It is difficult to determine the future for each of them. Therefore, Poynt Smart Terminal supports all existing common payment systems such as Google Wallet, Apple Pay with QR codes, and Bitcoin, including work with cards with a chip and magnetic stripe, NFC, QR codes and beacon. Support for all of these systems is already implemented on device levels and no separate keys are required for activation.

Poynt Smart Terminal supports the EMV option (Europay, MasterCard and Visa), which means working with Europay, MasterCard and Visa credit cards. Visa and MasterCard allowed the delivery of EMV PoS-terminals in the amount of 16 million until October 2015. The system uses EMV, with the NFC chip to replace the analog of the handwritten signature.

Poynt Smart Terminal works on the Android 4.4.4 fork, called PoyntOS. A quad-core processor is used, but the name of the chip is not reported, as is the data protection mechanism in the terminal itself.

Wireless interfaces include WiFi, Bluetooth LE (BLE), and 3G / 4G, with a GSM antenna. The terminal is equipped with an Ethernet port and an NFC antenna located on the front panel. The seller has a speaker, microphone, thermal printer and a battery for 8 hours of battery life. PoyntOS integrates a RESTful API for interacting with cloud systems.

The built-in cloud architecture integrates with security systems, payments, and commercial services. PoyntOS SDK supports the development of third-party applications.
