ABOUT
Overview
B-gate is an intelligent mPOS hub solution which integrates a thermal printer with a bundle of software. In this solution, a tablet PC seamlessly connects to the host tablet device (via Bluetooth communication) while supporting 1 charging port and up to 4 USB peripherals (scanner, cash drawer, customer display, RFID reader scales, etc).
The mPOS hub can print receipts or online orders through a native, web and cloud-based mPOS application with B-gate SDK’s (Software Development Kits).
The B-gate mPOS hub cost-effective, space saving mPOS environment allowing users to update their existing solution without having to invest in a complete new hardware system.
