Orlando, FL, USA (June 25, 2007) - cStar Technologies
Inc., a leader in wireless cashless vending
solutions and Precision Dynamics Corporation (PDC),
a leading RFID solutions provider, have collaborated to
showcase RFID electronic guest key-based cashless
vending technology at this year's HITEC 2007
(Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition &
Conference). cStar's cashless vending solution,
Vending GenieTM Hospitality
has been seamlessly interfaced with PDC's
Smart Band® RFID Wristband to deliver
this innovative cashless vending technology specifically
for the water & theme park hospitality market.
The front desk activated guest RFID wristbands are used
for keyless entry into hotel rooms, cashless payments in
restaurants, gift shops, and now vending machines.
Vending purchase transactions are wirelessly approved
and posted to the guest folio for payment at checkout or
to the guest prepaid account. A simple scan of the
wristband is all that's needed for guests to purchase
goods throughout the property without having to worry
about the inconveniences of handling cash.
President and CEO of cStar Technologies Inc., Stella
Yoon said, "We are pleased to work with PDC, combining
our leadership and innovation to bring this RFID
wristband enabled cashless vending solution to the
market. Now, guests in water or theme parks no longer
need to have any cash to purchase water, sports drinks,
sodas, snacks, or ice cream from vending machines ... all
they need is what they already have on their wrists!
cStar's application
eDispense™ HT, the engine behind Vending
Genie™
Hospitality, can also deliver the same
cashless payment method for all other self service areas
such as business centers, arcades, parking and laundry
facilities."
Robin Barber, Vice President of Advanced Marketing &
Technology at PDC, said that the partnership will "help
businesses gain a competitive edge by enhancing the
customer experience through faster, more convenient, and
streamlined operations. From cashless point-of-sale, to
automated admissions, to access control, leading parks
and resorts are moving to our RFID solution to reap
bottom line benefits."

RFID-enabled self-serve PDC Smart KioskTM at the
