Kiosk V: The Ideal NFC Payment Reader for Parking Facilities
As parking facilities evolve to offer more convenient and efficient services, choosing the right parking payment terminal is essential for a smooth customer experience. The Kiosk V NFC payment reader is designed to meet the demands of parking environments, making it a strong choice for parking meter payment, unattended parking payment, and other self-service applications. Below are the main use cases for the Kiosk V as a contactless parking payment solution.
Parking Pay Station and Ticket Vending Machines
Parking is a daily hassle for drivers, but the Kiosk V simplifies the payment process. With contactless parking payment, users complete transactions with a simple tap, with no cash or card swipes required.
In Panama, Kiosk V NFC readers have been embedded in parking ticket machines, improving the user experience. As an outdoor payment terminal with a rugged design and weather-resistant housing, the Kiosk V performs reliably on hot, humid days during the rainy season.
Our customers also value the Kiosk V's compatibility with existing parking pay station equipment, making installation straightforward. Its single USB Type-C port for both power and data further simplifies setup, removing the need for multiple cables and reducing installation complexity. This connectivity saves time during deployment and improves the reliability and appearance of the pay station.
Parking Access and Revenue Control Systems (PARCS)
The Kiosk V's versatile interface options and compact design make it easy to deploy as a PARCS payment terminal across a variety of parking systems, including barrier gates. Its plug-and-play architecture supports a range of communication protocols for quick integration with existing infrastructure.
By offering multiple connectivity options, including Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), RS232, USB, and UART, the Kiosk V supports reliable communication and integration with the parking management system. This makes it a practical fit for a parking garage payment system, reducing setup time and the complexity of deploying contactless payment with minimal disruption.
Parking Meters
Designed for durability and reliability, the Kiosk V is built to withstand extreme outdoor environments: rain, heat, and dust. Its ruggedized construction and compact design make it a strong fit for outdoor parking meters in both urban and remote locations, delivering reliable parking meter payment wherever it is deployed. A clear example is our partnership with Orikan, a parking technology provider serving municipalities across New Zealand and Australia. Hundreds of Kiosk V readers are now embedded in parking meters across several Australian cities, helping streamline operations while offering a fast contactless parking payment experience to drivers.
With a combination of advanced features, industry certifications, and a focus on usability, the Kiosk V delivers secure contactless payment processing in any parking facility. Here are the highlights of its key features:
- EMV parking solution: The Kiosk V is pre-certified with over 20 international payment kernels, simplifying certification and speeding time to market so operators can deploy without extensive testing.
- Apple VAS and Google SmartTap: Compatibility with Apple VAS (Value-Added Services) and Google SmartTap lets customers pay with mobile devices and adds features such as loyalty points, discounts, or special parking privileges.
- Low power consumption: Energy efficiency matters for outdoor payment terminals powered by solar panels. The Kiosk V uses minimal power, a cost-effective choice for large-scale deployments.
- Easy integration: Multiple connectivity options and a compact size make it easy to add NFC parking payment to existing equipment, including ticket vending machines, parking meters, and barrier gates.
