Atlanta Airport Vending Machines Now RFID-Friendly

April 6, 2007—The following are news announcements made during the week of April 2.
SkyeTek, a provider of embedded RFID reader technology, says it has worked with Isochron, a provider of vending machine technology for the food and beverage industry, to accept RFID (contactless) payment cards at 55 vending machines located throughout the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. SkyeTek says its M2 reader module, embedded into the vending machine's payment terminals, can process payments via RFID credit or debit cards provided by American Express, Discover, MasterCard and Visa. The reader collects and decodes the payment data from the card, then passes it to the Isochron network, which carries out the payment processing via a connection to a payment network.
