Dresser Wayne Solution OK'd for U.S. Shell Retailers

Upgrade kits also available for installed Ovation, Vista, Tokheim Premier dispensers
AUSTIN, Texas-- Fuel dispenser technology company Dresser Wayne has received approval of the iX Pay Secure Payment upgrade kits for Shell retailers in the United States. Independently owned Shell outlets can upgrade installed dispensers to the latest Payment Card Industry (PCI) security requirements using the Shell Technology Incentive Program (TIP) program. The program provides station owners a rebate tied to fuel sales. It has been extended through first-quarter 2010 and assists retailers with updates that help protect customer card data.

Dresser Wayne recently completed [image-nocss] the rigorous Shell beta testing phase that helps ensure the iX Pay Secure Payment solution works seamlessly with Shell's payment network and point-of-sale (POS) systems. Independent Shell stations featuring Dresser Wayne and Tokheim Premier dispensers can now upgrade their installed dispensers with a solution that supports Single-DES and Triple-DES encryption on the Shell network.

"This incentive program speaks volumes about Shell's commitment to protecting motorists from credit and debit card fraud," said Tim Weston, product manager for payment systems at Dresser Wayne. "Shell retailers need a payment system that offers strong security today and upgradability to future standards."

iX Pay Secure Payment solutions are designed to ease the upgrade path. Created specifically for installed Ovation, Vista and Tokheim Premier dispensers, the upgrade kits leverage Dresser Wayne's experience in outdoor payment products and feature a refreshed user interface. The kits are designed to be upgradeable to meet future security requirements, including PCI Unattended Payment Terminal (UPT). Their design can support Shell's migration to Triple-DES encryption.
The iX Pay Secure Payment terminal was the first device certified to the Version 2.0 security standard for PCI Encrypting PIN Pad (EPP) Security Requirements.

Dresser Wayne also announced that iX Pay Secure Payment upgrade kits are available for installed Ovation, Vista, and Tokheim Premier line fuel dispensers. These kits enable retailers to update equipment to meet PCI security compliance requirements. The upgrade kit for Vista dispensers includes a full bezel refresh.

Upgrade kits are now available for all Ovation models, all Vista models (1/Vista, 2/Vista and 3/Vista) and Tokheim Premier B and C models.

Also, Dresser Wayne is previewing the Unattended Payment Terminal (UPT) configuration of the iX Pay Secure Payment platform at the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) show in Las Vegas this week. This UPT configuration helps fuel retailers achieve the next level of security at the fuel dispenser.

"Building on our iX Pay Encrypting PIN Pad (EPP) offering, retailers can further enhance the security of the entire fuel dispenser payment terminal," said Tim Weston, product manager for payment technology at Dresser Wayne. "Our upgradeable iX Pay solution has been designed to allow retailers to leverage their EPP investment when they move to next-generation security standards, like UPT."

The Dresser Wayne iX Pay solution addresses the PCI UPT specification using a secure card reader, user prompt controls and application software authentication, in addition to a secure key pad.

Dresser Wayne, based in Austin, Texas, is one of the largest business units of Dresser Inc., and is an industry pioneer in the retail fueling industry. Among its innovations, Dresser Wayne was the first to introduce self-service consoles and fuel blending dispensers to service stations, in-pump card readers and cash acceptors, in-pump radio frequency identification payment systems and dispenser-mounted touchscreen payment/communication systems, it said. In addition, Dresser Wayne designs and markets software systems that enable its retail fueling customers to manage the convenience store aspects of their business more efficiently, including inventory control, price book management, labor management and site administration.
