WAL - Wavenet
Wavenet International Limited has just received
their first order from Lipman Electronic Engineering Ltd (US).
Wavenet's BM3 wireless modems will be integrated
into Lipman's EFT (Electronic funds transfer) and POS (point of sale)
solutions which will enable users to conduct debit and credit transactions in
a mobile environment over worldwide networks.
This initial order for Wavenet's BM3, which is
anticipated to be the first of repeat quarterly orders from Lipman, is valued
at $500K.
Lipman has subsidiaries in the US, China, Turkey,
Far East, Latin America, Spain, Russia, Italy, Canada, and Latin
America.
Wavenet is evidencing growth in demand for
wireless point-of-sale terminals. They are seeing a trend in the US towards
cashless transactions and mobile commerce which are ideally suited to their
technology.
Wavenet expects to see more groups making
decisions to move from trials to mass deployments over the next few
months.
The technology for this niche product was
developed by Wavenet under an AusIndustry R&D Start Grant and Wavenet
continues to conduct R&D into more adaptable wireless architectures
capable of working over a number of networks.
