VIA announced that the VIA EPIA EK1000G Mini-ITX mainboard had been selected by Tranax for its latest TK1000 non-cash dispensing transactional kiosks. Building on a long tradition of manufacturing robust, reliable, secure, and trusted ATMs, Tranax has created the VIA EPIA Mini-ITX-based Transactional Kiosk (TK) line of non-cash dispensing kiosks to provide a range of transaction-based service applications, including bill payments and ticketing. Tranax leveraged the extensive connectivity and porting of the VIA EPIA EK board to offer a robust kiosk that includes an LCD display, Printer, Ticket Printer, Card Dispenser, Card Reader, Bill Acceptor, Electronic Lock and Tamper Alarm.

The VIA EPIA EK maximum power consumption of just 19 watts means the Tranax TK1000 can be trusted to run continuously using less power and with fewer instability problems associated with less efficient platforms.
