Wireless and PCI together are messy and best avoided if possible - I know there are some point of sale systems that are mobile but actually process via cellphone technology instead of wireless internet. That might simplify things. On Tuesday 05 August 2008 09:31:51 am Mark Monroe wrote:
Does anyone out there support mobile POS systems with PCI compliance? If so, what systems are you running, how do you handle the wireless networking, and what restrictions do you have on it? I have all of the official PCI guidelines, it just seems that wireless and pci do not really mix. Thank You, Mark Monroe

This strange doctrine is not supported by statute nor common law. Neither individuals nor corporations have any right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped, or turned back, for their private benefit. That is all."
