"Our highly reliable and secure NFC technology combined with other cashless payment solutions, continues to provide significant competitive advantages where we are able to supplant existing competitive technology as well as create new opportunities for implementing our patented NFC-based systems."
Based on an expanding pipeline of business demonstrated by shipments year-to-date and additional secured orders, the company continues to expect to deliver more than 150,000 oti NFC readers in 2014 or an increase of more than 35% annually.
Gonen Ziv, president of oti America, added: "Our accelerating sales momentum and growing industry adoption of our solutions confirms that the market is at a tipping point in the adoption of cashless payment solutions in the self-serve and unattended market. We believe our cutting-edge solutions, dedicated customer service and aggressive pricing strategy are beginning to pay off.
