MQTT specifies a client-server architecture with a lightweight publish-subscribe messaging transport protocol. Andy Stanford-Clark and Arlen Nipper developed it in 1998 to connect low-power mobile devices like sensors and mobile phones to enterprise systems without the need for an intermediate server.

Understanding Point-of-Sale Terminals

Point-of-Sale (POS) Terminal

A Point-of-Sale (POS) terminal is the core device where a sales transaction takes place. It bridges customers, payment processors, and business systems. Traditionally, POS terminals were fixed countertop devices connected to wired networks. Today, they have evolved into mobile, intelligent, and cloud-connected systems. They now support multiple payment modes and advanced analytics.

Modern POS terminals accept a variety of transactions, including contactless payments, QR codes, NFC taps, digital wallets, and EMV chip cards, making them indispensable in modern commerce.

Importance Across Domains

POS systems are the digital backbone for a wide range of industries:

  • Retail: Streamline checkout, track sales, and synchronize inventory across outlets.
  • Hospitality: Manage orders, payments, and reservations seamlessly.
  • Transportation: Enable ticketing and real-time payment validation.
  • Healthcare: Simplify billing and integrate directly with digital patient systems.
  • Events & Fleets: Facilitate on-the-move payments, eliminating dependence on wired infrastructure.

By making transactions faster, more secure, and more accessible, POS solutions are democratizing digital payments, particularly in regions where traditional banking infrastructure is limited. Cellular connectivity plays a vital role in enabling this inclusivity.
