Secure IP controller at the point of sale
Secure Internet Protocol communication controller chip reduces the cost and speeds the design of new IP-enabled point-of-sale terminals.
CO711AG also supports switchable access to cellular, dial-up, 10/100BaseT Ethernet networks.
Typically requiring only one man-month of development time, CO711AG speeds the introduction of secure communication for privacy-sensitive non-PC products such as point-of-sale (POS) terminals and medical devices.
iChipSec is a new branch within the iChip family of IP coprocessors.
