Genmega and Allpoint Wireless Case study
“3G CDMA Network Shut off date set for December 2022” – verizon.com
It’s coming. Or should we say it’s going? 3G wireless service is going away. It’s been going away for many months now. You’ve seen it, you know the story. Your 3G locations go from having virtually zero connection issues at all to suddenly having major communications issues or dropping off altogether. Well, its only going to get worse. Much worse. 3G IS GOING AWAY! All this connection instability is affecting transactions, which will inevitably lead to lost revenue. If you have not already done so, you must begin the process of converting your 3G wireless portfolio to the 4G platform.
Yes – we’ve said all of that before. What we haven’t said until now is an actual drop-dead date. With the speculation surrounding previous dates, especially when premature announcements were made by our competitors, we wanted to make sure we could be as confident as possible in making this statement…
THE VERIZON 3G NETWORK WILL BE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN BY DECEMBER 2022.
Make no mistake, you need to start converting NOW!
We can help ease your transition to 4G by offering you the lowest cost to own monthly wireless service in the nation, saving you money throughout the process….
…Which is why we have launched the 3G upgrade program to end all 3G upgrade programs. This isn’t some short-lived “FLASH SALE”. This program allows you to upgrade all your locations successfully, efficiently, and affordably to the 4G wireless network.
In case you jumped right to the end: here are the FACTS:
Please contact us if you have any questions.
Upcoming ATM Industry compliance mandates looming that affect your ATM business.
Whether you’ve been in the ATM Industry a short time or for ages, you are aware this industry is highly regulated by federal regulators, banking regulators and sponsor banks, and debit networks. You are conducting business in the financial services space and that means heightened security and compliance is required for participation across many areas.
Cardholder data security has been managed since 2006 by a Council developed by five debit networks – Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and JCB. The Council is known as the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council. The Council published the initial EPP standards roadmap shortly after its inception. The Council has now published its new key compliance deadline dates and these compliance requirements definitely affect those whose deployed ATM terminals are “ancient, archaic, not able to be upgraded to current required standards.” Why is this necessary? For security of cards, cardholders, processors, networks, and you the ATM deployer.
Key Block encryption provides further security for PINs and data to be transferred through the ATM and payment network infrastructure which in turn makes it more difficult for hackers to exploit weaknesses and protects the cryptography that protects payment data.
You are encouraged to perform due diligence now on your actively deployed terminal platform to determine what course of action you need to begin in order to be compliant before the December 31, 2024 deadline for both EPP and TR31 Phase 3 Key Blocks. Non-compliance on the deadline can cause
| Cause | Affect to deployer |
| Terminals to be inactivated | Loss of income |
| Deployer to be assessed fines and penalties if determined data breach(es) have occurred at terminal | High expenses; loss of income |
| Terminal to go dark because parts and maintenance no longer available for terminal make and model | Loss of income |
These are due diligence points to consider and then you are encouraged to act in a conscientious and timely manner to bring your deployed portfolio up the ATM Industry standards.
*To avoid having to do two visits to a terminal for required upgrades, we suggest you install a replacement ATM that includes the most current ATM standards as well as EPP hardware/firmware and ATM software by end of year 2022. Please note, depending on your ATM manufacturer, you may still be required to do a software update prior to January 1, 2025 even with installation of a new ATM terminals and compliant EPP.
Contact your ATM Partner representative for information if you require assistance in determining your needs in replacing terminals and/or EPPs with PCI compliant units.
Set up a schedule for compliance and follow it.
Have you ever driven to a service call just to find that you could fix whatever issue ignited the situation with an ATM power reboot? Let us help relieve the frustration over wasted time and money with our economically priced ATM power restart solution, “The Power Relay“. Our latest companion hardware to the industry’s lowest cost to own wireless solution is a cost effective device which will power reboot any device plugged into it, and then resume it quickly 3-5 seconds thereafter.
The Power Relay connects via Cat5 cable to an open Ethernet port of any InHand device providing an I/O port (IE newer I-22). Simply plug your ATM into The Power Relay as per the instruction guide and you will have the ability to restart the terminal remotely. All of this is done through our web monitoring portal, CheckUrBox.com. You can execute this task by simply pressing the “Restart ATM” function button located on the wireless device ‘Basic Information’ page. This will send a signal through the wireless box to The Power Relay, cutting off power for a brief 3-5 seconds, and then resuming it.
There are no additional monthly charges for either the The Power Relay or access to our CheckUrBox portal. Once you purchase the Power Relay you are free to operate it as often as necessary for your business’s needs. It is a great alternative for any location that cannot have this solution easily replicated by on-location staff. The installation is easy and its functionality smooth. If you’ve ever asked yourself “did i really need to drive all the way out here for that?” the Power Relay can be your answer.

As the use of wireless modems has grown, we at TheWirelessBox.com saw a need to create a solution that would allow our clients full access to a portal that would provide them with the ability to quickly and easily monitor their wireless portfolio. That solution is CheckUrBox.com, or ‘CUB’ for short. CUB is a state-of-the-art, user-friendly wireless device monitoring portal. And its all available to you free of charge.
CUB has many useful features, such as providing real-time device statistics like current signal strength, device up-time, and last contact date. It also provides important information such as historical signal strength and data usage. Each device page provides you with space for location information. The portal is interactive, where you are in control. Features such as Ping/Refresh, which will confirm the device is on and connected to the internet. You also have the ability to make Data Tier upgrades, where you can increase the data plan for that unit if necessary. With the use of a power relay device (sold separately), you can reboot your ATM or kiosk right from the portal. You can pull your ATM Terminal ID with the click of a mouse (static wireless ATM settings required). There’s our ‘WheresUrBox’ feature, which uses GEO mapping to provide a general location of where the wireless device is*. You can restart your device, or even suspend devices if needed. You can create notification groups. CUB is a full service portal where you are in control.

EMV compliance is an issue that seemingly never ends, even after you upgrade. Simply updating your ATM with an EMV card reader may not keep the networks from reaching into your pocket. Are you aware that EMV ATM card readers need to be cleaned more regularly than mag-stripe card readers? EMV card readers contain landing pins that the card chip engages with, and these should be cleaned on a weekly basis. Did you also know that a dirty EMV reader can lead to EMV card transactions being converted to a FALLBACK transaction? Fallback Transactions are those transactions where an EMV chip card is used at an EMV enabled ATM and the ATM failed to read the card using the chip data. Along with a few other possible factors, a dirty reader is often the cause.
Several ATM networks have intimated that they will be issuing a PER TRANSACTION fine PER TERMINAL for any EMV ready terminal that exceeds said networks threshold for excessive fallback transactions. To avoid fines and fees, ATM Partner is dedicated to helping you make EMV migration a smooth and simple process. ATM Partner offers EMV card readers, EMV card reader cleaners, and the most current version of manufacturer’s software and AID lists to keep you compliant with network requirements. Cleaning your EMV reader regularly, along with keeping ATM software and AID list up to date will lower maintenance costs tied to EMV and save you time and money.
Earn More Revenue with ATM Plus from CDS.
Searching for creative ways to maximize the earning potential of your ATM fleet? With ATM Plus from Columbus Data Services, you can generate more revenue from your ATM portfolio by offering new ATM user options to your customers.
DCC (Dynamic Currency Conversion)
DCC allows the ATM operator to convert the total cash withdrawal amount into international cardholder’s currency. The cardholder sees the exact total of the transaction in their home currency at the time of withdrawal. The ATM provides the cardholder with clarity of exchange rate and displays both local and cardholder home currency amounts on the screen. By allowing Dynamic Currency Conversion, you earn additional revenue that the issuer would normally make on the transaction.
Better Balance Inquiry
Prompts card holder to check account balances in a manner that produces a higher number of balance inquiries and does inquiries on multiple accounts.
International Revenue Segmentation
Ability for you to charge an additional incremental fee in the event a non US cardholder elects to withdraw funds from the ATM.
Credit Card Revenue Segmentation
Ability to charge an additional incremental fee in the event a customer elects to withdraw funds from their credit card.
While utilizing DCC on all of your ATMs is something you should consider, it is highly recommended for your ATMs that are in areas where international cards are widely used, such as hotels, restaurants, bars, vacation spots, and high volume tourist destination cities like New York, Philadelphia, Miami, Los Angeles etc.
In order to utilize DCC and these other revenue generating options, you will need to update to the latest CDS ATM Plus version of software for GENMEGA and HYOSUNG ATMs which is available on www.atmpartner.com If you have any questions regarding these options, or need instructions on implementing them, please call us at 1-877-977-8020.
