Blue Bamboo Introduces Contactless Payment Solution at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games

Blue Bamboo, a provider of feature-rich, reliable, and exceptionally affordable products for the POS terminal and peripheral industry is pleased to announce its participation in the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

Together with partner and China market leader KuaiPay, Blue Bamboo has designed and integrated a closed loop contactless payment system for the Holland Heineken House. The HHH venue has a history of being one of the games’ largest and most recognized entertainment venues. Blue Bamboo’s solution is significant as it combines several new technologies, including embedded contactless POS terminals and a new BluetoothTM wireless access server, all developed on the GlobalPlatform secure open standard platform.

“We are excited to be a partner with KPay and enable their continued market innovation and leadership with transit based contactless payment systems in Beijing,” Said Jason Jones, CEO of Blue Bamboo. He further stated: “We appreciate the contributions from our technology partners InnovaCard and Bluegiga and for their support with our product development efforts on this project.”

This year’s event will allow patrons to use collectible HHH contactless prepaid cards throughout the venue on handheld POS terminals carried by HHH staff. The addition of the Bluetooth wireless access server creates complete transaction coverage for a venue such as HHH at more than 76000 square meters while maintaining a limited footprint and mobile capability.
