Subtitle: British City of Nottingham opts for the new Elite model
Swindon, UK, 12/01/2012. (euro adhoc) - The Hoeft & Wessel subsidiary Metric has
won a Europe-wide tender advertised by the British City of Nottingham for more
than 200 car park ticket vending machines. The City Council opted for the latest
model from the manufacturer headquartered in Swindon, west of London. The Elite
model features a full alphanumeric keyboard for data entry and the complete set
of payment options: customers can pay using coins, chip or PIN-based credit or
debit cards, or by means of EMV contactless cards. The Elite can be upgraded at
a later stage to allow payments to be made by mobile phone. The individual
pay-and-display machines are linked to the ASLAN back-office software suite -
also supplied by Metric - via the GSM network using GPRS telecommunications
technology. With the exception of five units, all the machines will be
solar-powered. Deliveries have already started.
With more than 60,000 installed parking machines in over 45 countries, Metric is
one of the largest global providers.
