Circle K Stores Roll Out Infrared KiosksBy Clarinet Systems and Info Touch Technologies are bringing Circle K stores into the ranks of the technology-enabled with the rollout of the Zap Link e-services kiosks. These kiosks provide wireless Infrared connectivity for handheld device users. "Info Touch and Clarinet Systems are breaking new ground with the introduction of Infrared technology. Circle K customers are now just a 'beam' away from downloading Web-based information into their PDA," said Info Touch Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Hamed Shahbazi. "This fits perfectly within Info Touch's strategy of utilizing the kiosk as a base station or gateway to wirelessly connect and empower PDA users." The EthIR STAR wireless connectivity system from Clarinet Systems allows Zap Link kiosk users to connect their PDAs to the Internet by pointing the Infrared port of the device towards the EthIR Beam located inside the kiosk. When connectivity is established, users can download email, browse the Web, get stock quotes, and get the latest news on their PDA. Though 35 kiosks are deployed now in Circle K stores in the Phoenix area, hundreds more Zap Link e-services kiosks are planned to be deployed in stores within the Phillips network in a phase II of the roll out in 2002.
