Opticon Introduces the Duo for All in One Mobile Payments and Order Processing

The Duo, a new compact handheld sales and payment device from Opticon, is designed for retail, hospitality, and other mobile payment applications.

Its unique architecture allows for both of its main functions to be operated separately on the two different sides of the terminal. This ensures that the point of sale function remains open for all of the architectures, while the payment function meets secure PCI requirements. This device is the first convenient portable solution offering both Point-of-Sale and multiple secure payment technologies in one device. Its unique two-sided architecture allows sales to be entered on one side, and payments processed on the other. Separating the two core functions ensures that the Point-of-Sale side remains open-architecture, whereas the payment side remains compliant to financial (PCI) standards.

Featuring a 4.3-inch touch screen, an accurate barcode scanner and high-speed ports for Bluetooth and WiFi connections, the Duo is ideal for processing and collection of orders at the point of sale. Various peripheral devices can be connected via Bluetooth.

The Duo knows no boundaries. Sales and payments can now be made anywhere on the shop or restaurant floor improving the customer experience and increasing sales for the business. Running Windows CE 6.0, the Duo provides an industry standard environment which makes it easy to install and run custom applications.

The Duo is provided with a high capacity 2300mAh Li-Ion battery. Flexible power saving features help extend operating time even further. The device can be charged through a USB interface or a separate cradle where a spare battery can also be placed in its own slot for recharging.
