MCI's Transaction Services are recommended for retail businesses requiring secure Point of Sales (POS) and Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) data exchange. Important inventory and financial information is transmitted via POS links between the stores and head offices. Buyers can pay for merchandise with their debit and credit cards through EFT. POS and EFT terminals are increasingly IP-enabled. The MCI Transaction Services product can provide the IP network transport for these terminals.

Features and Capabilities

MCI Transaction Services provides your retail outlets with the vital IP transport network for your Point of Sales and Electronic Fund Transfer applications. MCI's network infrastructure enables POP and EFT terminals to dial into MCI's nearest local Point of Presence (POP) in Canada, with analog speeds up to 56 Kbps, or ISDN speeds up to 64 Kbps.

• Extensive Local Access. MCI Transaction Services provide access to local Points of Presence in 60 Canadian cities, with toll-free POP access anywhere in Canada
  
  
• Efficient Administration. A Web administration page enables your corporate administrator to quickly add, modify, or delete login accounts. Detailed dial usage records for each login account are available online. MCI's hosted RADIUS server integrates seamlessly into the Web administration page in a redundant and high-performance environment
  
  
• Filtering. Filtering technology enables you to control or limit the destination of the IP connections, for example, limiting the POP/EFT terminals to connect to only your corporate or payment gateways
