Precidia’s unique router-based software solution integrates secure IP-based payment processing with almost any POS device or PC. Processor-certified and compliant with relevant cardholder data security standards, this solution offers the industry’s most comprehensive approach to security, delivering peace of mind to merchants, software vendors and other players in the payments industry.

At the core of Precidia’s payment solutions are three key elements:

The TransNet Payment Engine software delivers PCI PA-DSS validated end-to-end processing from card swipe to processor authorization. Housed on a secure router, TransNet’s approach to cardholder data security helps customers avoid the costs and hassles associated with compliance mandates. TransNet can establish direct links with a wide range of certified credit, debit, gift and loyalty card processors, allowing merchants to easily take their processing business to the lowest cost provider.

The Payment Engine Router offers a robust platform ideal for retail payments. By housing the payment application on this secure platform, the payment function is much less vulnerable to attack. With dial and serial ports, the POSLynx220 can be used to simply and securely provide broadband connectivity to payment and other store equipment.

The NetVu Management Server is responsible for many of the most important features of Precidia’s solutions. First, NetVu remotely manages and deploys any number of routers for simple, cost effective deployment and support. It is this control over the networking device that makes it so attractive to processors and merchants, the ability to implement application changes or upgrades, as well as PCI changes, to a large number of field devices, at the click of a mouse. This feature ensures hassle free ongoing PCI compliance for merchants, automatically updating TransNet as new threats emerge. Finally, the management server, which also includes merchant level data with MerchantVu, offers an unprecedented level of data, allowing the user to better manage both the device and the transactions.

Precidia also offers a complete line of IP access devices for dial and serial-based equipment, ideal for connecting existing legacy payment equipment to broadband networks simply and cost effectively. These products include the POSLynx220, iPocket232 and Ether232Duo.
