Ottawa, Canada, July 16, 2007 - Precidia Technologies Inc., a global leader in the design and manufacture of Internet Protocol (IP) payment and networking devices, announced today the Class B certification of its POSLynx220™ payment router by leading payment processor Global Payments Inc. (NYSE:GPN). Today's certification allows merchants to integrate Precidia's secure payment application with existing POS devices including PCs and cash registers for fast, PCI compliant transaction processing to Global Payments' GlobalNet @dvantage SSL Gateway.

While the popular POSLynx220 provides broadband connectivity to a wide range of POS equipment, from ATMs to payment terminals, today's announcement introduces Precidia's secure payment engine, TransNet™, to Global Payments customers. This payment engine integrates with existing PC and cash register applications, separating the payment function from other applications by housing it on the secure POSLynx220. This solution is ideal for hospitality and other retailers who depend on PC-based systems and want to ensure ongoing PCI compliance and cardholder security. With the POSLynx220 already certified by Global Payments to provide connectivity to a wide range of POS equipment, this new certification extends the IP payment options available to merchants processing to Global Payments.

"We're pleased to provide Class B Certification for the POSLynx220 for payments," said, Vice President of Product for Global Payments Inc., Dean Giancola. "It offers a range of solutions to merchants in sectors such as convenience store/petroleum, hospitality, and general retail. This certification reflects the product's compatibility with Global's SSL Gateway, as well as an acknowledgement of the unique benefits it can provide to Global Payments' customers."

Precidia president Deepak Wanner says this certification marks a milestone in the evolution of the company's Payment System: "In addition to migrating payments onto an IP infrastructure, we've designed the POSLynx220 to process the transaction using our secure payment engine. The advantage of this approach is a payment application that is more secure, as well as automatic PCI updates and alerts delivering peace of mind to the merchant", said Mr. Wanner. "This step allows Global Payments customers to rely on the POSLynx220 for a broader range of secure, cost saving solutions that leverage existing equipment".

Precidia's Payment System includes the POSLynx220, TransNet™ secure payment engine, and MerchantVu™, which provides store-level statistics on transactions, network status and settlement. The Payment System boasts the industry's most comprehensive approach to PCI and data security, with automatic alerts and updates, and a secure server for payments.
