"Diebold Inc. is designing a system to connect its ATMs to Verizon Wireless' 4G data network
to improve service and security."
The wireless technology that generally provides high-speed Internet connections to laptop computers and smartphones can allow the sort of services at the ATM that a consumer would expect to receive from a live teller.
Diebold is applying the 4G technology to its ATM to create a faster additional communication channel, says Chris Rowe, Diebold's senior director of development.
"We have always had the ability at Diebold to use wireless for transactions, but not for services," Rowe says.
The North Canton, Ohio-based ATM maker plans to test the ATM concept at pilot sites through most of 2012, with the intent to distribute globally next year. However, no specific timetable for commercial release has been set, Rowe says.http://www.americanbanker.com/issues/177_8/diebold-4g-lte-verizon-atm-security-1045642-1.html
