Atos Origin awarded in York during varlink Reseller annual event for the project deployed on trainsin UK
Atos Origin, the number one supplier of portable ticketing solutions to the UK Rail industry, has recently added a new dimension to their product with the addition of Baracoda devices. As more customers move to internet purchases of rail tickets, there is a growing demand for bar-coded tickets to be printed by the consumers themselves or sent directly to mobile phone handsets. It is vital that any such electronic or mobile tickets are validated to prevent fraud or re-use.
Atos Origin has teamed its AVANTIX Mobile devices with the Baracoda Road Runner scanners on 2 high ? profile train routes in the UK and is looking to widen the deployment of such technology as soon as possible.
So far this year, Atos Origin has deployed around 120 devices to East Coast Railways and a further 25 Baracoda RR to Chiltern Railways. These devices pair seamlessly with the PDA ? using the Bluetooth linkage.
Tony Burgess, Retail Product Manager at Atos Origin, says ?I like the Baracoda device because it is ideally suited to the challenging environment of on ? train use. It?s very durable and simple to use but is also very light to carry ? important for staff who have to carry a number of devices with them for every minute of their working shifts.?
