Terminal Overview

This chapter provides a brief description of the Vx5xx/Vx6xx series of terminals. The Vx5xx/Vx6xx terminal series represents the shape of things to come in e- payment. These terminals are members of a broad product family that will provide a clear migration path into the future for current users of Omni countertop and portable terminals.

The Vx5xx series includes high performance countertop terminals with fixed and modular enhanced communication options. The Vx 510 (also referred to as Omni 5150) is the entry point countertop terminal.

The Vx6xx series represents a new generation of wireless terminals. The pioneering Vx610 (also known as Omni 5600) features the same sleek, compact design of the Vx510, but in a portable, battery-powered form factor that uses wireless technologies, including Wi-Fi, CDMA and GSM/GPRS.

The bold ergonomic design is sleek and stylish, offering countertop power and 32- bit performance in an integrated terminal that can be handed to the consumer for input. In addition, the Vx5xx/Vx6xx series serves as the entry point to VeriFone’s acclaimed multi-application platform—with the capability to securely support payment and value-added applications on a single terminal.
