Unicomp provides point-of sale systems with magnetic strip readers. They needed to test a design for a magnetic stripe reader to be included in a custom product for a large discount retail chain.

Rapid Center Location

Western Carolina University is situated in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains – and in one of ten “Megapolitan” geographical regions in the U.S.* These functional economic regions transcend political borders and are connected by factors including commuter and goods movement, business linkages, and cultural commonality. The Rapid Center gives regional businesses access to “Mega” product development resources close to home to achieve our goals of economic transformation and engaged learning.
