It also features a modular contactless reader for easy in-field upgrading to contactless card and NFC technology.
The product includes a cradled, cordless Wi-Fi or Bluetooth hand-over device that lets clerks to carry the payment device to the customer without unsightly cables.

L5400 is an end in-aisle wall mounted or countertop seated version with full VGA color 5.7” interactive touch screen multimedia display and barcode scanner for price checks, product locating, product pre-ordering and account balance checking. The L5400 can also be configured for signature capture applications in which an integrated keypad is not required.
Lloyd Baylard, vice president of multilane products at Hypercom, said: “The L5000 is a revolutionary technological advance that gives retailers in all tiers the ability to use these products for far more than just payments. But for all multilane retailers in North America and throughout the world, the L5000 allows them for the first time to match the specific needs of each department with a value-added product in the L5000 family, all while knowing that the industry’s strongest security is at work in every device.”
