July 27, 2009
Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Hypercom Corp. has announced that its Artema Modular unattended payment terminals are being deployed by three of Germany's major regional rail transit operators. According to a news release, the solution is PCI-approved and accepts debit and credit cards.
Christian Jurs, vice president of sales for Hypercom Germany, says the deal will help build awareness of the company's solutions in the transportation and self-service industries:
 | This deployment strengthens our leadership position in self-service technology (and) our leadership in mobile rail ticketing systems and brings new levels of speed and convenience to hundreds of thousands of travelers. |  |
Hypercom says installation of the payment solution in self-service devices was recently completed at key transit hubs served by Abellio, Rheingahn and Westfalen Bahn-operated trains. The technology will help speed ticketing in more than 370 trains serving more than 200 million commuters and travelers per year.
