KIOSKCOM: Tranax shows through-the-wall kiosk

LAS VEGAS — Long a leader in ATM technology, Tranax Technologies brought two of its financial kiosks to KioskCom Self Service Expo.

The company's through-the-wall kiosk is one of its newest machines. The weatherized kiosk includes a 17-inch sun-viewable touchscreen and several component bays for bill acceptor, card reader and receipt printer. Current applications include bill pay and money transfer. Movie ticketing for the kiosk is in the works.

"We're really excited about it," said Wes Dunn, director of business development for Tranax. "We believe this is going to be a really good thing for us."

Also in the booth was the Transactional Kiosk 1000, Tranax's financial kiosk, which handles bill pay, ski and movie ticketing and card dispensing. Leveraging the company's ATM background, the 250-pound machine is designed to be very durable.

Customized options include ticket printer or magnetic card dispenser, MEI bill acceptor with 500 or 1,000 note capacity, electronic lock and tamper alarm.

The two-day show, collocated with The Digital Signage Show, concludes today at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.
