Boundless Technologies RFID-Enables Web Video Terminals with SkyeTek

Kiosk-Embedded RFID Readers Used for Financial Transactions, Identification and Security,
Product Tracking and Inventory Management

 

Broomfield, Colo., March 14, 2006 – SkyeTek, Inc., the leading provider of embedded RFID reader technology and developer of ReaderWare™, today announced that Boundless Technologies is incorporating SkyeTek’s M1 reader into the Boundless ADDS 5700 Dual Video Web Terminal.  By adding RFID as a feature, Boundless expands the addressable market of the ADDS 5700 to new kiosk applications such as point-of-sale credit card transactions for retail, user identification and authentication for financial services, and inventory tracking and management in pharmaceuticals.

 

“We selected SkyeTek because they were uniquely able to meet our customers’ requirements for size, functionality, security, and cost while providing a robust software development platform in ReaderWare that accelerates time-to-market,” said Jack Ryan, COO of Boundless Technologies.  “RFID-enabled ADDS 5700’s allow Boundless to increase its value proposition to customers and extend its reputation as an innovative and responsive global supplier of data entry and video display technologies.”

 

In addition to being embedded within the ADDS 5700, Boundless is also offering SkyeTek’s M1 reader module as a standard PCI card that can be easily integrated within existing Boundless devices.  Both companies anticipate RFID-enabled kiosks to rapidly take on increasing functionality and new applications as they are introduced to the market later this year.

 

“Kiosks are a prime example of the rapidly broadening reach of RFID outside the role of traditional supply-chain and into the role of a feature leveraged within consumer-facing applications,” said Rob Balgley, CEO of SkyeTek.  “In partnership with Boundless and other manufacturers, we are excited to help speed the deployments of RFID-enabled kiosks that will help our customers both interact with their customers and better manage their inventory and access control systems.”
