Hypercom Introdues New Payment Terminals

Hypercom has introduced the L5000, a new product family of customer-facing, multipurpose, multimedia payment terminals featuring the broadest range of functional and communication capabilities for the spectrum of multilane retailers.

According to a release, the lineup enables multiple in-store use beyond the traditional checkout line, including in-aisle product locating, barcode price checking, health insurance card processing at the pharmacy, gift card loading and wedding registry processing at kiosks. The terminals connect to any point-of-sale register system with communications protocol including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

The L5000 features an integrated ADA compliant keyboard, a side lit keypad, braille characters and a headphone jack. It also features a full VGA color display and hardened glass capacitive touch screen providing the industry's brightest and most legible interface for interactive multimedia advertising.

Hypercom's new multilane product line is powered by a 400 MHz processor and Linux operating system.

"The L5000 is a revolutionary technological advance that gives retailers in all tiers the ability to use these products for far more than just payments. Competitors talk of evolution, and that's fine for them. But for all multilane retailers in North America and throughout the world, the L5000 allows them for the first time to match the specific needs of each department with a value-added product in the L5000 family, all while knowing that the industry's strongest security is at work in every device," said Lloyd Baylard, Vice President, Multilane Products, Hypercom.
