Hoeft & Wessel, a German information technology and engineering company, has announced it will deploy 720 of its Almex stationary self-service ticketing kiosks for Transports Publics Genovois, or TPG.
In a news release announcing the deal, Hoeft & Wessel says the kiosks' unique solar-power technology will afford the deployer a new level of flexibility:
200 machines feature a new, pioneering technology that makes it possible to reduce electricity consumption. Solar cells are sufficient for an independent power supply, making the new terminals completely independent from the electricity grid. As a result, transport companies are given absolute freedom in choosing their locations.
The company says it also will provide application software for the ticketing kiosks, which will be deployed in 2010 and 2011.
