Ingenico Group expands mPOS with tablet POS Solution

October 23, 2017

Ingenico Group has unveiled the Moby/M70 tablet point of sale solution, an EMV pre-certified, turnkey Android-based solution designed to work in a variety of environments, according to a press release.

Running on the Android Nougat operating system, the Moby/M70 offers ISVs and developers in the U.S. the ability to create customizable tablet applications.

By leveraging the Moby/M70 coupled with Ingenico Group's mPOS EMV SDK and EMV gateway, ISVs and developers can achieve faster speed to market with an all-in-one tablet POS solution capable of accepting EMV chip and sign, magstripe and NFC/contactless payments. 

Driven by the demand for a turnkey, highly customizable solution that enables ISVs to compete in the tablet POS market, the Moby/M70 leverages an embedded, EMV pre-certified RP457c card reader, allowing ISVs, developers and merchants to avoid the time and cost associated with meeting and maintaining these certification requirements. Additionally, due to the solution's open OS, ISVs and developers can push any applications they create through Google Play and other available mobile app stores.

"When mPOS solutions first entered the market they were generally smartphone based, geared towards SMBs and micro merchants and designed specifically for payment acceptance. Today, the appeal of mPOS has broadened, and merchants are looking for much more than just payment acceptance," Jordan McKee, principal analyst at 451 Research, said in the press release. 

The solution's white-labeling options make it easy to provide both ISVs and merchants the flexibility to custom brand the solution with their own logo in order to enhance brand perception and build brand recognition.  

Additional features of the Moby/M70 include:

• PCI PTS SCR 4.1, EMV Level 1 and 2, and EMV L1 contactless, Visa payWave and Mastercard contactless certified. 
• Access to developer friendly SDKs for ease of integration. 
• Certified for both contact and contactless EMV with five major U.S. processors.
• The latest ARM processor: Cortex-A35 Quad Core CPU 1.3 GHz. 
• 5 megapixel rear facing camera.
• Wi-Fi 2/5GHz (ac) and BT 4.1.
• Gorilla Glass with capacitive touchscreen and long battery life (4,160 mAh).
• Full suite of accessories, including a ruggedized rubber case, single-bay and multi-bay chargers as well as hand and shoulder straps. 
• Additional USB hub that can power the solution as well as connect additional items, such as cash drawers, scanners, printers and Ethernet cables.
• Full access to Ingenico Group's services and support, including a transparent product lifecycle, distribution, repair and warranty.
