Retail & Point of Sale

Retail is now entering a new era of electronic interaction

With technologies such as Bluetooth® low energy beacons coming to the forefront. Customers and staff alike will be able to take advantage of technologies such as Bluetooth®, WiFi and NFC to quickly gain access to information on products, offers and store topology. Retailers can use technologies such as SIGFOX to monitor stock levels and location

LM has supported this usage with firmware modifications and tweaks to make our products as best suited to this application as possible.

TECH WE USED

Serial Communication and POS

LM’s Bluetooth® to serial adapters have been used within POS systems to enable wireless RS232 and RS485 cable-replacement solutions for almost a decade now. They have widely been used to give thermal and impact printers wireless capability.

Bluetooth® v2.1 provides throughput of up to 2Mbps and is highly-resilient to RF interference due to its frequency-hopping behaviour. The Bluetooth® Serial Port Profile (SPP) enables transparent pass-through of serial data including flow-control signals at ranges typically exceeding that of WiFi. LM utilises SPP within its Bluetooth 2.1 and 4.x Serial Adapters and Modules, which uniquely support flow-control in both directions.

How We Helped

LM’s Bluetooth to legacy serial  solutions have been and still being used within POS systems to enable wireless and cable-replacement solutions for almost a decade now.  They have widely been used to give printers and access point/gateway devices wireless capabilities.
