DS - Sponsors of Internet Cafe   

The development  of the DS RFID self service solution continues to make progress adding new  exciting features and options to what has already become a popular and reliable choice  for many customers. In November 2006 DS launched the new steel Multi-Function kiosk, which comes in both standing and seated designs. It was designed with best value in mind, giving libraries the flexibility not only to issue and return RFID tagged items, but also to accept payments for library fines and services within the library. Over the last 12 months Lincolnshire, Havering, South Dublin, Barking & Dagenham, South Lanarkshire and Brent have purchased the new DS RFID solution. DS forecast 2008 will be our busiest year to date for RFID implementations. For further information please contact Steven Roberts, Steven.roberts@ds.co.uk , tel 07813 026028.
