SIA was looking to grow its payment processing services to banks and merchants by simplifying communication via an increasing number of remote/mobile point-of-sale (POS) terminals. The payment traffic generated by the wireless POS terminals would need to be delivered securely and reliably to the authorization systems of banks, terminal operators and other acquirers.
