AnyDATA and Precidia Free ATM Operators from Phone Line Dependency

Solution features modem certification from major wireless carriers

Irvine, CA, Feb. 14, 05 - AnyDATA Corp., a leading developer of CDMA modems, and Precidia Technologies, developer of choice for Point-of-Sale IP access devices, have partnered to offer a low-cost wireless connectivity option for dial-based ATMs. Using this solution, ATM operators can reduce communication costs by 30% and process transactions up to three times faster, while gaining access to some of the largest wireless networks in the world.

Certified by 41 CDMA carriers globally, AnyDATA modems enable users to transmit data over wireless networks. Precidia's CellDial converts dial ATM transactions to Internet Protocol (IP) and provides the necessary link to the EMIII modem via a simple cable connection. Together, they enable operators to process ATM transaction data over wireless networks, thereby reducing monthly communication costs and avoiding cumbersome line installations that can cost upwards of US$300.

ATM processors and Independent Sales Organizations choose this solution because of its simplicity and low-cost. "One reason for the wide deployment of our products is that they are specifically designed for customers with no prior telecommunications experience," said Ed Huelsman, Senior Director of Sales and Marketing/U.S for AnyDATA Corporation. "When combined with Precidia's CellDial, they become a simple-to-configure means to bring wireless IP capability to standard dial-up ATMs."

"Considering that legacy ATMs represent significant financial investments and continue to meet performance requirements, it's no wonder that ATM operators are rapidly adopting the AnyDATA modem and CellDial," adds Precidia's president, Deepak Wanner.

The AnyDATA/Precidia product pairing is a key element in third-party ATM processor Columbus Data Services (CDS) 'all in one' wireless ATM solution. Explains John Willmon, CDS VP, "the solution is easily implemented and does not require any change to existing ATM equipment or systems - ATMs are literally up and running in minutes." CDS has deployed more than 300 ATMs with the AnyDATA/Precidia combination.
