RFID wristband and kiosk keeps travelers' money safe
February 6, 2007
WEST CHESTER, Pa. — MEI announced that its Cashflow SC bill acceptor has been integrated into the Smart Kiosk Cashless POS System, a product of Precision Dynamics Corp. Smart Kiosks are used at parks and resorts along with Smart Band RFID wristbands to enable guests to pay for resort items and access their rooms and other facilities without carrying around cash, credit cards or keys.
A number of resorts on the east coast are now providing their guests with this system, which is based on RFID technology. Resort guests wear Smart Band wristbands that can be used as room keys and "electronic wallets" throughout the resort.
PDC Smart Kiosks utilize MEI bill acceptors, which enable resort guests to replenish their accounts as needed. Guests simply add funds to their wristbands by going to one of the Smart Kiosks located throughout the resort. All information on the wristband is encrypted, ensuring security.
