MWC 2010: Interview with Garnet Rich, President of Opal Manufacturing

Opal specializes in the automation of accepting payments for prepaid and postpaid products. Their Kiosks can top-up prepaid handsets in real time, vend PINs for a myriad of prepaid products (long distance, mobile,WiFi) and vend products such as handsets and SIM cards/chips.

Kiosks are typically on-line and accessible in real-time from any PC/Server. At the Mobile World Congress they featured anEP100 Top Up Kiosk with a SIM card dispenser and a cell phone dispenser and an EP50-12 Pin Printing Kiosk.

The EP100 kiosk utilizes a touch screen as the customer interface. This interface allows for a myriad of products to be sold and provides an intuitive interface for consumers to interact with. It is ideally suited for real time direct flexible prepaid top up, for selling PIN products.
