Brief:
A very low cost, but highly secure portable handheld terminal for Micro Finance transactions. Device needs to be robust and work in environments that have a very poor communications infrastructure, yet provide a relaible connectivity. Information should be easy to retrieve even if the device gets damaged, and should not be usable for un-authorised users.
Challenge:
Usability – a large number of users were not literate
Security – Financial application, but unreliable connectivity
Power management – 10 hours of autonomy
Ruggedization – both physical and also for data security
Design Scope:
Branding, Industrial Design, System Architecture & Security, Product Architecture
