Subtitle: British City of Nottingham opts for the new Elite model

Swindon, UK, 12/01/2012. (euro adhoc) - The Hoeft & Wessel subsidiary
Metric has won a Europe-wide tender advertised by the British City of
Nottingham for more than 200 car park ticket vending machines. The
City Council opted for the latest model from the manufacturer
headquartered in Swindon, west of London. The Elite model features a
full alphanumeric keyboard for data entry and the complete set of
payment options: customers can pay using coins, chip or PIN-based
credit or debit cards, or by means of EMV contactless cards. The
Elite can be upgraded at a later stage to allow payments to be made
by mobile phone. The individual pay-and-display machines are linked
to the ASLAN back-office software suite - also supplied by Metric -
via the GSM network using GPRS telecommunications technology. With
the exception of five units, all the machines will be solar-powered.
Deliveries have already started.

With more than 60,000 installed parking machines in over 45
countries, Metric is one of the largest global providers.
