Global security associates demonstrate products
at recent tradeshow
Diebold’s global security division associates recently demonstrated the capabilities of its Relocatable Arms Vault (RAV) and LINX Predator Elite command and control system at the Force Protection Equipment Demonstration VI (FPED VI) at the Strafford Regional Airport in Strafford, Va. The RAV is a portable, humidity-controlled structure used to store weapons. It can be transported to new locations while remaining in one piece. The LINX Predator Elite command and control system is a security solution that features an integrated, multi-tasking, centralized system with unlimited expansion and scalability options.

At the event, associates gave presentations to potential customers inside the air-conditioned RAV, which contained the LINX Predator Elite command and control system. In addition, visitors viewed real-time surveillance from security cameras installed on the RAV’s roof.

“The show allowed us to demonstrate our products to leaders from the Department of Defense, as well as decision makers from federal departments and state and local law enforcement agencies,” said John Stroia, Diebold’s vice president, government and monitoring solutions. “Both the RAV and the LINX Predator Elite system were developed specifically for the government market. They attracted a lot of attention at the show while communicating Diebold’s commitment to creating customized solutions for its customers’ unique needs.

Approximately 2,000 individuals attended and 600 exhibitors participated in the show. Event photos are available.

Diebold celebrates sale of 100,000^th Opteva® ATM
After only four years since its introduction, Diebold announced the sale of its 100,000^th Opteva® ATM to Missouri-based Commerce Bank. Much of Opteva’s success can be attributed to the extensive, global customer research that was conducted during its development phase. In partnership with Dove Consulting, Diebold interviewed ATM deployers in 18 countries in North America, South America, Asia Pacific and Europe. Through this research, Diebold discovered the most important requirements in the next generation of ATMs for financial institutions included low cost of ownership, ease of use for cardholders, reliability and transaction speed.

Extensive research focusing on design and usability standards was also conducted among ATM users in 11 countries.  These findings showed individuals were most concerned about personal safety and security, transaction intimacy, screen size and keyboard position. Based on these findings, Diebold developed solutions that are in line with the evolution of the ATM market.

Today, the Opteva ATM remains a leading machine in the industry for many reasons. “Opteva offers cutting edge, self-service technology with its state-of-the-art universal serial bus (USB) communications platform and Agilis® software services that still remain unsurpassed today,” said Diebold’s Anna Istnick, manager, industry communications, financial self-service. “Opteva is the only ATM that is designed to grow with customers’ business strategies due to the flexibility and engineered innovation of its platform.”

Opteva also offers features such as modularity and flexibility, which allow financial institutions to define self-service strategies based on their business needs, protect their technology investment and meet demands of evolving expectations and requirements.

SDM lists Diebold as a top systems integrator
