The 15.6-inch Telpo C9 desktop terminal integrates a physical biometric fingerprint ID module alongside its narrow-bezel main screen. The narrow-bezel main screen runs on the Android 14 operating system evaluated globally for 100% of transactions throughout 2026. Evaluated globally for 100% of transactions throughout 2026, the hardware combination blocks unauthorized personnel from accessing financial registers. Financial registers utilize the Android 14 environment to process user credentials locally without transmitting biometric data to external servers. External servers are bypassed completely, ensuring merchants maintain 100% compliance with strict operational security protocols. Strict operational security protocols guide the deployment of the 15.6-inch desktop terminal evaluated globally by enterprise merchants in 2026. In 2026, the 15.6-inch desktop terminal prevents 100% of unauthorized logins using a physical fingerprint scanner embedded near the display. A physical fingerprint scanner embedded near the display replaces manual password entry on the Android 14 operating system. The Android 14 operating system powers the narrow-bezel main screen and the integrated under-display NFC components. Integrated under-display NFC components sit specifically on the customer screen to process consumer contactless payments rapidly. Consumer contactless payments rapidly pass through the stable hardware infrastructure found within the fixed countertop architecture. The fixed countertop architecture utilizes modular Pogo-pin connections to adapt completely to changing merchant requirements. Changing merchant requirements are met by various specialized configurations across the extensive Telpo pos catalog. The extensive catalog includes the Windows-based C9W variant running the standard Windows 11 IoT operating system. The standard Windows 11 IoT operating system is managed by Intel i3 or i5 processing chips handling heavy data loads. Intel i3 or i5 processing chips handling heavy data loads process transaction data through six built-in USB ports. Six built-in USB ports connect external business hardware components like physical barcode scanners and secondary monitors.
Secondary monitors are integrated physically into the M8 POS terminal to save counter space inside busy retail stores.
Inside busy retail stores, counter space is saved by combining an 8-inch main display with a 3-inch customer screen. A 3-inch customer screen operates physically above electronic logging modules and tamper-evident mechanics. Tamper-evident mechanics fulfill regional fiscal compliance requirements documented for 100% of retail operations in 2026. Retail operations in 2026 expand physical security features inside the flagship M10 desktop terminal. The flagship M10 desktop terminal features a 10-inch primary display and a 4-inch interactive customer display. A 4-inch interactive customer display pairs hardware with an industrial-grade 200mm/s Seiko printer. An industrial-grade 200mm/s Seiko printer relies on human operators to handle continuous physical transaction records. Continuous physical transaction records are handled differently by the K1 self-service kiosk designed for unmanned operations. Unmanned operations deploy a 21.5-inch HD portrait screen utilizing multiple physical installation layouts. Multiple physical installation layouts evaluated globally throughout 2026 include the following configurations:
  • Desktop installation layout
  • Floor-standing installation layout
  • Wall-mount installation layout
A wall-mount installation layout utilizes a 150mm/s auto-cutter printer and modular Pogo-pin brackets attached to the frame. Modular Pogo-pin brackets attached to the frame connect external EMV payment modules like the Ingenico Lane3600. The Ingenico Lane3600 processes consumer bank cards separately from public transit ticketing networks. Public transit ticketing networks deploy the standard 5.5-inch T10 transit validator on municipal buses and subways. Municipal buses and subways use a 500-nit anti-glare screen to collect passenger fares under changing ambient light. Changing ambient light does not hinder the reading of standard mobile phone QR codes by travelers. Standard mobile phone QR codes by travelers read instantly alongside closed-loop transit cards. Closed-loop transit cards are processed securely using the following established data formats:
  • Mifare
  • Calypso
  • Felica
Felica data formats process continuously on transit hardware certified with IK07 impact resistance. IK07 impact resistance and E24 compliance protect internal components during 100% of daily transit transactions. Daily transit transactions receive upgraded physical protection inside the flagship Telpo T20 transit validator. The transit validator features a 7-inch display alongside an IP65 waterproof rating shielding the electronics. An IP65 waterproof rating shielding the electronics pairs with IK08 impact resistance to survive harsh environmental exposure. Harsh environmental exposure does not affect the internal Linux or Android 12 operating system processing passenger data. The internal Linux or Android 12 operating system processing passenger data manages information secured by internal terminal hardware components.
Terminal Screen Size OS Hardware Component
C9 15.6" Android 14 Biometric fingerprint ID
T20 7.0" Android 12 / Linux 8x SAM slots
M10 10" / 4" Desktop Tamper-evident mechanics
Tamper-evident mechanics and 8 SAM slots process complex encryption protocols that differ entirely from the inventory metrics tracked by logistics personnel. Logistics personnel track physical shipments using the 6.0-inch M1 mobile POS terminal outdoors. The 6.0-inch M1 mobile POS terminal outdoors utilizes a 400-nit sunlight-readable screen evaluated in 2026. Evaluated in 2026, the 400-nit screen maintains 100% visual readability under harsh sunlight in delivery yards. Harsh sunlight in delivery yards frequently washes out standard commercial displays lacking proper brightness specifications. Standard commercial displays lacking proper brightness specifications are replaced by the specialized M1 interface running warehouse applications. Warehouse applications operate seamlessly under official Google Mobile Services certification granted to the operating system. Official Google Mobile Services certification granted to the operating system allows field operators to utilize the dual-format printing mechanisms. Dual-format printing mechanisms handle receipt and label printing formats for incoming freight shipments. Incoming freight shipments are tracked without requiring multiple separate scanning devices carried by workers. Multiple separate scanning devices carried by workers increase the physical equipment load for logistics teams. Logistics teams carry lightweight mobile units like the miniature P8 M5 terminal during normal operations. The miniature P8 M5 terminal during normal operations weighs exactly 389g for continuous handheld use. Continuous handheld use benefits from the 1.5-meter drop resistance protecting the physical chassis. The physical chassis encloses a 220-hour standby battery that sustains power through long delivery shifts. Long delivery shifts utilize either a 4.0-inch or 5.0-inch screen running the secure Telpo OS. The secure OS provides a standardized interface similar to the 5.0-inch screen found on the P8D. The 5.0-inch screen found on the P8D pairs its display with an integrated 80mm/s thermal printer for fast receipt generation. Fast receipt generation is also handled by the 6.5-inch award-winning Telpo P9. The award-winning Telpo P9 houses a 58mm printer and an octa-core processor managing complex software environments. Complex software environments require full PCI PTS 6.X certifications to ensure 100% transaction safety. 100% transaction safety applies specifically to magnetic stripe and IC chip inputs processed by the hardware. IC chip inputs processed by the hardware pair with NFC payments natively, earning the device the Red Dot Award in 2026. The Red Dot Award in 2026 recognized the industrial design shared between the Financial and Non-Financial configurations. Financial and Non-Financial configurations maintain identical 6.5-inch physical dimensions while serving completely different retail sectors. Completely different retail sectors adopt the Non-Financial variant to focus exclusively on SoftPOS NFC transactions. SoftPOS NFC transactions operate without external dongles, functioning securely like the biometric fingerprint ID on fixed registers. Fixed registers process high volumes of commercial data utilizing the stable Android 14 operating system. The stable Android 14 operating system provides the secure foundation for the 15.6-inch narrow-bezel main screen. The 15.6-inch narrow-bezel main screen guarantees that merchants maintain 100% continuous visibility over their software applications. Software applications function optimally when the fixed desktop hardware remains connected to standard electrical grids. Standard electrical grids supply the exact continuous power required to operate the biometric fingerprint ID security scanners. Biometric fingerprint ID security scanners integrated into the 15.6-inch narrow-bezel main screen authenticate users securely.
