Wireless Scanning of Tickets
Tick-It! Trak Pro enables you to cut the cord!
Go wireless with a properly equipped PDA for Ticket Validation functions or for
use with our Wireless ADMIN Assistant Module.

Shown here is an IPAQ 2400 PDA equipped with a SOCKET SCAN
Compact Flash Card. Note that upon scanning a ticket, the operator is notified
of the validity of the ticket for the attraction it is being presented for.
In addition to an easy to read visual response, the PDA can also be set to play
a sound, such as the one heard when this page was loaded.
Now, UNLIKE other systems, where a list of tickets
is downloaded into the PDA's memory, with Trak Pro, the communication
is LIVE with your SQL Server! This means that
there is NO POSSIBILITY of a ticket being used more than one time!
Serialized tickets MUST be matched with proper Event ID's,
Customer ID's and Transaction ID's. This is the equivalent of a counterfeiter
having to get a 21 digit number right, when all they can see to play with is 7 of
the digits.
The Trak Pro system uses standard Code 3 of
9 (also referred to as Code 39) which is printable by all standard ticket printers,
such as BOCA, PRACTICAL AUTOMATION and DATAMAX, and is readable by low cost and
readily available bar code scanners. No expensive equipment required.

Shown here is a SYMBOL SYSTEMS Pocket PC equipped with an
integrated laser scanner. These units are more robust than the IPAQ shown
above, and the integrated laser scanner operates faster and under more
conditions than the Socket Scanner shown above, However these units are
also much more expensive than the general purpose PDA's like the IPAQ.
This unit was provided to us for testing by the fine folks at ID 2 GO, who have been using NCS Ticketing Systems for a few years now for high profile events in the Atlanta, Georgia are.
