Revolutionary integration of Cell phone and Card Vending and vending data management tool in One system
cStar Technologies offers a real-time wireless data management system which simultaneously provides multiple payment options (cell-phone dial-up combined with card vending for ALL types of cell-phones) and an application system that supports both attended and unattended Point-of-Sale (POS) transactions. This wireless, cashless system can work in conjunction with or without existing coin mechanism and bill validators.

This innovative wireless solution means customers no longer need correct change or cash in hand to purchase products from cStar supported vending machines. Further, the cellphone payment feature revolutionizes the cashless payment industry by providing enhanced security via PIN (personal identification number) implementation. cStar is proudly adding eWallet functionality to cell phones.

cStar's system easily integrates with existing payment mechanisms so you can broaden your customer base by providing more choice and greater flexibility for consumers through alternative payment methods, either cell phones or cards (hotel room key cards, credit cards, smart cards, etc).

The cStar m-Commerce Application is compatible with ALL cell-phones and all known POS systems, providing seamless data transmission via innovative M2M technology.

cStar's SkyGate 'transaction- mechanism' enhances a wide variety of unattended POS devices - including vending machines, parking meters, highway tolls, air, rail and bus ticket kiosks, cab-fares, gaming, gas pumps, fast food retail channels, car rentals and ATMs - by providing improved security, efficiency and greater flexibility for consumers.

cStar has effectively married radio and internet technology to create MOBILE Remote Data Management solutions and m-Commerce applications that are positioned to revolutionize the way industry thinks about cell-phone, palm and hand-held devices.

Card Vending (Cashless Vending)
The MV-27 Card Reader Specifications:

The MV-27 supports the co-existence of smart card and magnetic card processing while providing a TTL level output signal. The MV-27 is configured to read up to three tracks of magnetic stripe data in accordance with ISO7811. For smart cards, MV-27 provides a landing type contact to access the smart card, as well as a latching mechanism to secure the card during communication with the card reader. MV-27 is designed for unattended Point-Of-Sale devices.
cStar's MV-27 card reader is equipped with a Lynk Systems Inc. processor.
