NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Fujitsu Transaction Solutions Inc. is unveiling a host of new "Univations" for
retailers in the form of U-Serv self-service hardware and partner software at
the National Retail Federation (NRF) 98th Annual Convention and Expo, Jan. 12-13
in New York City. 

The Fujitsu booth, #411, will feature the newest U-Serv models and applications.
These include:

* The U-Serv 50 entry-level kiosk solution, which can be configured for
countertop use or free standing on a pedestal. The U-Serv 50 will be displayed
as part of the DeliVision System self-ordering kiosk, in conjunction with
partner Modiv Media. Roche Bros, a New England-based grocer, recently began
implementing this solution chain-wide. 
* The U-Serv 60 will feature theater ticketing, which allows movie patrons to
forego long lines at the box office by self-ticketing with the kiosk. Patrons
can either go online and order a ticket for will call pick-up at the kiosk, or
browse the available movies and purchase on site. Today, Regal Entertainment and
AMC Entertainment, the number one and two movie chains in the world, use Fujitsu
ticketing solutions. 
* The U-Serv 75 is Fujitsu`s higher-end kiosk solution. In concert with software
partner Escalate Retail, the U-Serv 75 will feature the assisted guided selling
application. Guided selling allows consumers to help themselves by simple
queries and unbiased suggestions and recommendations. 
* The U-Serv 150 exterior solution is ruggedized for outdoor use. It features a
17" touch screen color display, card reader, omni-directional scanner and
high-end PC. The U-Serv 150 has been redesigned to make it more affordable for
more locations like stadium and concert venues. The U-Serv 150 is a Univations
solution but will not be displayed at NRF. 
* Med-Serv Patient Registration Kiosk.Along with sister company Fujitsu Computer
Products of America, and partner Allscripts, Fujitsu is demonstrating a patient
registration kiosk. The Med-Serv unit shows how a patient can register and be
positively identified using Fujitsu palm vein biometric technology. 
* Fujitsu will also be demonstrating the power of multiple software applications
on the same kiosk. A U-Serv 100 kiosk under the control of St. Clair Interactive
Communication`s multi-application software, will demonstrate Treo Systems
Wayfinder software and Modiv Media DeliVision.

retail environment," said Peter Wolf, vice president of self-service and
Univations operations at Richardson, Texas-based Fujitsu Transaction Solutions.

U-Serv solutions and applications represent that commitment to quality and
