Abstract: A system and method for wirelessly processing transactions from a plurality of point-of-sale terminals using a wireless transaction system, the system including a wireless data network for communicating data between a remote device and a server on a computer network, a plurality of point-of-sale terminals, a communications hub in communication with each of the plurality of point of sale terminals and a communications device in communication with the communications hub. The communication device includes a transceiver for communicating data to and from the server via the wireless network for at least two point of sale terminals.

Abstract: A system and method for managing information from a point-of-sale/usage device includes a remote computer in communication with a computer network, the remote computer having a database for storing information obtained from a point-of-sale/usage device, and a wireless data network in communication with the computer network. The point-of-sale/usage device includes a controller for managing operation of the point-of-sale/usage device and having memory for storing information related to the operation of the point-of-sale/usage device and information related to purchases of a product and/or service, an interface for transferring data from the controller and an Enabler device. The Enabler device includes a wireless data network transceiver linked to the interface, and a card reader in communication with the transceiver for entering credit card account information. The Enabler may also include a micro-controller, depending upon the configuration of the point-of-sale/usage device.
