ROSH PINA, ISRAEL — (Marketwired) — 11/05/13 — (NASDAQ: OTIV), a global leader in cashless payment solutions based on contactless transactions and near-field communication (NFC) technology, has signed a major contract to supply its NFC readers to one of its U.S. channel partners who primarily serves the unattended retail market in North America. The agreement requires the channel partner to purchase more than $10 million in OTI NFC readers over a three-year term.
OTI has received purchase orders for an initial 40,000 readers, which it plans to ship by the end of 2013. The agreement covers multiple models of OTI-s Saturn 6500 NFC readers, including its most advanced Saturn 6500 EM+ which supports EMV transactions.
“Our Saturn 6500 NFC readers are the perfect solution for the unattended retail market,” said OTI-s CEO Ofer Tziperman. “When integrated into kiosks or vending machines, it presents customers with a quick and easy way to pay, which promotes more frequent purchases and increased revenue for the retailer.”
“This contract represents the largest single reader win for our company, and is the result of our recent strategic shift to focus primarily on building our core contactless transaction and NFC technology business,” continued Tziperman. “This win also reflects increasing traction for greater adoption of NFC. In fact, compared to last year, we have already more than doubled the number of readers we have shipped globally. Hence, we-re confident the adoption of our patented NFC solutions will continue to expand over the months and years ahead.”
