Device Overview
CHAPTER 1
This chapter provides a brief description of the e285 device.
The e285 is as a standalone, wireless handheld payment device, making it easy
to process a transaction anywhere. It provides mobile payment capabilities via 3G
connectivity. The e285 is also a powerful 3G/Bluetooth/Wi-Fi solution – featuring
advanced communications for fewer dropped transactions so merchants can
accept payments securely, extending their point of sale opportunities.
The e285’s capacitive-touch with physical keypad design makes it easily
pocketable while still accepting all payment methods - MSR, PSCR, Contactless
and wallets. The easy to read color touch screen is capable of signature capture
and is fully supported by Verifone’s developer toolkits that provide everything
needed to transform ideas into applications.
