金沙js93305支付技术公司与Spire Payments公司于今年签署了战略合作协议，在全球范围内开展产品合作。目前，双方公司已紧锣密鼓的开始多项新品的研发，计划将于明年推出市场。

以下是Nilson报告刊登的文稿：

When VeriFone acquired Hypercom last year, regulators in Spain and the U.K. insisted that Hypercom assets in those countries be sold off.KleinPartners Capital, a private equity firm, bought those businesses, combined them, and created a new company called Spire Payments.

Spire holds the intellectual property rights in the U.K. and Spain to two Hypercom product ranges — Optima and Artima. It shipped 172,400 of those devices in the U.K. and Spain last year. However, Spire is not allowed to sell those products in other markets. It also must look ahead to the time when it will need updated technology for its installed base.

Spire plans to meet both needs through a joint product development deal with China-based Newland Payment Technology Company. Newland has also taken a minority equity position (less than 15%) in Spire. Last year Newland, which ranks tenth in the world among POS terminal manufacturers, shipped 242,800 POS terminals — 97% went to customers in Asia/Pacific. Other units went to customers in the Middle East/Africa, Europe, and Latin America regions.

Spire signed the agreement with Newland in May. The first products will be on the market in the second quarter of 2013, beginning with a GPRS/Wi-Fi device for restaurants. The migration of installed Hypercom terminals in Spain and the U.K. to the new devices will also begin next year. In 2014 when five new models will be available, Spire plans to begin sales in new markets through local resellers.

去年VeriFone收购Hypercom时，西班牙和英国的监管机构坚称Hypercom在这两个城市的资产已出售。KleinPartners Capital，一家私募公司购买了这些业务并合并、创建了新的公司Spire Payments.

Spire拥有Hypercom两种产品系列在英国和西班牙的知识产权— Optima and Artima.去年在英国和西班牙卖了172,400台。然而Spire不能在其它市场销售这些产品。也必须预计将来已安装产品需要技术更新的时刻。

Spire计划通过和中国金沙js93305联合开发产品满足双方需求。金沙js93305已持有Spire少数股权（少于15%）。去年金沙js93305在POS机具厂商中排名世界第十，销售242,800台POS机-97%销往亚洲/太平洋客户。其它销往中东/非洲，欧洲和拉丁美洲。

Spire在五月与金沙js93305签订协议。第一款面向饭店的带GPRS/Wi-Fi的产品将于2013年第二季度投放市场。在西班牙和英国的已安装的 Hypercom 终端机将在明年初进行更换。2014年当五款新型产品面市，Spire计划在新的市场通过地方的经销商销售产品。
