COLUMBIA, Md., May 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- MICROS Systems,
Inc. (NASDAQ: MCRS), a leading provider of information technology
solutions for the hospitality and retail industries, announced the
release of its new mTablet mobile device and mStation stand. These
stylish and durable devices provide first of their kind
capabilities with full mobility and peripheral connectivity.

Unlike consumer devices, the mTablet screen is easily viewed in
direct sunlight. In addition, although the tablet is light and
sleek, it has been designed to better withstand damage from common
falls. The mTablet provides secure, fully integrated payment
processing, without fragile adapters or plug-ins, and uses the
latest Wi-Fi and Bluetooth standards.
The mStation, as the companion to the mTablet, provides the
versatility and flexibility of a fully connected workstation,
protecting investments in new or existing peripherals and network
infrastructure. Different from other mobile stands, the MICROS
integrated array of available customer facing displays provide
promotional marketing and order accuracy solutions. When equipped
with a high capacity battery, an unplugged mStation allows
additional deployment options.
"These latest devices take MICROS to a new level of innovation
in mobility, with solutions for restaurants, hotels and retailers
operating in any mobile environment and any kind of light—whether
indoor or outdoor. By being designed from the ground up as more
impervious to damage from falls, the mTablet will also reduce the
cost of ownership for businesses, which can experience significant
replacement costs with standard mobile devices. By functioning both
as a mobile device, and when appropriate, as a fully functional
stationary device, these new products, working in tandem with
MICROS' industry leading software applications, redefine our
solutions," stated Peter Altabef,
President and CEO for MICROS Systems, Inc.
"The mTablet and mStation are compatible with many existing
MICROS software platforms, and are based on open platforms which
allow application developers to utilize this versatile solution
with a published Application Programing Interface (API) and
development tools," states Paul
Schleicher, Director, Hardware Solutions for MICROS Systems
Inc. "MICROS mTablet's unique full color adaptive LCD
provides a traditional display experience along with outstanding
daylight viewable capability and enhanced battery life. With
an expanded operating temperature range of 14 degrees Fahrenheit to
140 degrees Fahrenheit, this is a perfect device for both indoor
and outdoor use."
The mStation and mTablet are supported by MICROS' industry
leading global service network.
