“The iOSdevicedoesall thesewonderful things,
but can it securely takeapayment? It reallycan’t,
sobyattachingourhardware to thedevices,
weenhancebusinesseswhere iOSdevices
canbeused,”saysRichardKeever, director
of salesat InfinitePeripherals.
The company first realized the
potential in themobile spaceabout a
decadeagoandwas the first toenable
iOSdevices to communicatewith its
peripheral products. “Wehavemore than
500,000devicesout in the field, based
upon iOS solutions.Wehaveawidevarietyof
customersacrossmany industries, becauseeveryone
needs to track somethingand theeasiestway iswitha
barcode,” saysKeever.
“The technologieswe’re replacingaregenerally large,
uni-functiondevices. By linkingourproductswith iOS
devices,whichmostpeoplealreadyknowhow touse,
we’redramatically increasingefficiency,” saysAndy
