Technology choice
• Wifi– Pros: IP based. High speed. Fast time-to-market. Can be used « handset
only ». Future technology. NAM interest.– Cons: Lowest range. Radio interferences. Difficult to install (WPA, WEP
keys). Requires xDSL access. R&D feasibility unsure. Market not ready.
• Bluetooth – Pros: Low consumption. Average speed. Cheap. Easy to install. Good time-
to-market.– Cons: Medium range (class1). Radio interferences. Requires dev. of
handset+base.
• DECT– Pros: High range. No radio interferences. Average speed. Easy to install.
Our clients LOVE X1000 DECT.– Cons: Expensive. Technology obsolescence. Requires dev. of handset +
base.
• Wifi + Bluetooth– Pros: Can be used « handset only » or with a base. More flexibility for
mainteners.– Cons: Extra-cost for both technologies. Radio interferences. Medium range.
High time to market. R&D feasibility unsure.

Maximum performance :
• Best lead-time : re-use of the M-series plastics & motherboard– Fast and easy to implement
• Powerful terminal: develop an « intelligent base » with Bluetooth techno– Remote Modem, Serial and Ethernet– Fast connectivity over long distances– 32bits ARM9 provides speed and functionality
• Highly secure — includes the key security market requirements (PCI PED)
• Multi-handset configuration– Required for France even if rarely used– Competition standard
• Best connectivity - USB connection on the base– Check reader connection– Competition standard
