POS Hardware: Bell Awards POS Company For Technological Advancement
Datasym Inc. revealed today that it was selected as the 2006 recipient of the Bell Technology Award. Created to recognize the company that shows ingenuity and innovation in the development and implementation of a product, service, process or technology, Bell honored Datasym for the XR650—the hardware centerpiece of Datasym's new direction in POS, the hybrid Sales Terminal System (hSTS). With hSTS, Datasym has achieved a breakthrough in virus protection and data security, allowing retail businesses to send and receive data quickly and securely through local area networks or over the internet.
Datasym president Rick Sterne was said to be surprised but elated to be chosen by Bell. He stated that Datasym was simply doing what it has always done—building products and creating services to help its customers achieve their own success. "We are very honored to receive this prestigious award," remarked Sterne. "The XR650, the hardware centerpiece of hSTS, utilizes internet technology for communications and is the only ROM-based sales transaction and management system with true Ethernet communications, data security and virus protection." Sterne thanked Bell's Rob Brown on behalf of all the employees at Datasym, and stated how proud he was that Bell, with its history of innovation, would recognize his company for their achievements in POS technology.
