October 28, 2010

Albany Technical College (ATC) in southwest Georgia is placing 10 self-service kiosks in various campus locations to enhance its student services. The hardware and design for the kiosks was provided by Phoenix Kiosk of Tempe, Ariz.

The kiosks are being placed in selected common and administrative areas. All of the kiosks will be connected to the same network.

"The kiosks provide a substantial improvement for student services," said Wendy Howell, director of public relations at ATC. "Our students can now manage many of their activities simply by accessing a kiosk. The kiosks provide added efficiency, as well as cost savings."

Phoenix Kiosk provided 10 of its Spiire models to ATC. The Spiire can handle a number of peripherals such as printers, cash and coin accepters, and more.

ATC has named the kiosk network TiO (Titans Online) in honor of the mascot for the school's basketball teams. The college is placing instructions, with screen shots and other visual aids, next to each unit. ATC is also holding student training sessions in several of its campus lab areas.

Phoenix Kiosk has provided its products to dozens of educational facilities over the last several years, ranging from pre-schools to high schools to universities and colleges. Education kiosks can be utilized for wayfinding, class registration, purchasing books, supplies or meal plans, etc. ATC will utilize the kiosks for a wide variety of purposes.

Tempe, Ariz.-based Phoenix Kiosk designs, manufactures and distributes self-service technologies for use in a wide variety of applications. Phoenix Kiosk is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Secure Medical Inc.
