UTC RETAIL™ Refreshes Successful 2200 Series Distributed Point of Sale Workstation

Rochester, January 13, 2008 – UTC RETAIL™, a leading provider of retail management solutions including software, hardware and professional services, announced today the general availability of its new 2250 and 2270 Series POS distributed workstations. The 2200 Series workstations provide retailers with reliable POS functionality, high performance and flexibility in system configuration.

"The 2250 and 2270 Series have been designed for serviceability and reduced maintenance costs" says Gina DeMauro, Product Manager for UTC RETAIL. "The virtually tool free design and key lock access to replaceable parts such as the hard drive minimize downtime and reduce service costs. The logic module has a durable metal casing that protects high quality, long life POS specific electronics. The solution utilizes Intel® embedded chip sets that provide stable version control, reducing the need for continuous modification and re-certification of POS application software. Quick access to input/output ports and support for industry standard OPOS and JavaPOS device drivers minimizes system integration, configuration and service costs. Retailers are demanding lower cost solutions and the 2200 Series can help the retailer achieve this".

The 2200 Series offers a number of different configurations to fit unique retail environments. The unit is available with up to a 3.4 GHz Intel® Pentium® 4 processor and an easy access to a secure front USB port. Available options include dual removable hard drives, RAID functionality, DVD / CD media drives and an integration tray for peripherals that provides a smaller footprint, which saves valuable counter space. An under counter mounting bracket for the logic module is also available. The 2200 Series will be supported by UTC RETAIL's comprehensive suite of support services including staging & integration, installation, and depot, hot swap or on site maintenance.

UTC RETAIL will be displaying the 2250 and 2270 Series in Booth #2605 during the National Retail Federation Annual Convention and Expo, January 13-16, Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, New York, New York.
