Maxa Technologies (Maxatec) Adds Mobile Payment Solutions to its Portfolio

LONDON, January 31, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    Maxa Technologies, (Maxatec) specialist distributor of IT hardware, software and
services to the Mobile, AIDC and EPOS market sectors has signed a UK distributor agreement
with Datecs, renowned Bulgarian EPOS supplier [http://www.maxatec-europe.com ], for the
Datecs MPED-400 [http://www.maxatec-europe.com/models/mped-400-mobile-pos-device ] mobile
Pin Entry Device (PED).

    The MPED-400 is a PCI EMV and Common Criteria approved mobile Pin Entry Device. With a
host of connectivity options including Bluetooth, USB and Serial, the PED can be used for
a large range of payment applications from fixed point of sale to payments taken in the
field. The ergonomic and light weight design make the MPED-400 ideally suited to business
on the move.

    With the "handpoint Headstart" payment application and the handpoint payment gateway,
a vast range of new opportunities are opened up to mobile chip and pin. The PCI and
Merchant Bank approved gateway allows payments to be processed efficiently and securely
through an internet connection. The platforms which the solution can work upon are Windows
Mobile, Windows CE, Windows PC and Android. Early in 2012, IoS will also become available.

    Michael Ashcroft, Director of Technical Services at Maxatec, commented: "Tied with the
MPED-400 and a handheld device, chip and pin payment can now be integrated easily into
your mobile application. This tight integration allows PCI compliant chip and pin payments
to be made, thereby increasing the cash flow in any business."

    Ashcroft continued, "The "handpoint Headstart" application runs on a multitude of
operating systems including Windows Mobile, Windows CE and Android. This provides a simple
integration platform for what was historically a complex payment mechanism. With Bluetooth
communication and Triple Des encryption, the MPED-400 provides the highest security
available for your customer's confidence."

    The addition of mobile payment solutions
[http://www.maxatec-europe.com/models/mped-400-and-handpoint-headstart-mobile-payment-solution ]
to the Maxatec range, reinforces the company's focus on the mobile market sector and
the relationship with Datecs and handpoint typifies the continuing drive to engage with
differentiated suppliers.

    Jamal Maknin, Director at Datecs; "We are pleased to be working with Maxatec as the
MPED-400 fits neatly into their product offering. Combined with the handpoint Headstart
solution, we have a fully secure, certified managed solution which should enable us to
gain real traction in the mobile payment sector. Mobile payment is new, exciting and an
important area that can be delivered to a multitude of verticals and with the MPED-400,
Maxatec and handpoint, we are coming to market at exactly the right time."

    Maknin added: "Maxatec has great expertise and experience in mobile products and
applications. Their value added, technical approach make them a very important partner for
Datecs to deliver product into the huge potential customer base."
