As part of its objective of becoming the largest provider of POS networks and payment processing services in Ecuador, Medianet Ecuador focused on providing services to retailers in 20 major commercial malls located in three cities. These malls account for 50 percent of all retail sales in Ecuador. To reach this concentrated and lucrative market, Medianet had to break free from the limitations of Ecuador's existing telecommunications infrastructure, which would have required expensive and time-consuming cabling, and would likely have provided slow, expensive, and unreliable service. After evaluating several POS solutions, Medianet selected VeriFone Omni 3750 IP-enabled point of sale terminals attached to a Wi-Fi communications module to support mag-stripe credit and debit, EMV-based smart card, and value-added applications.
