solutions, introduces a new generation of high-speed digital franking
machines, MegaTM series for the Indian market.

machines with the latest digital franking machines equipped with
advanced speed, security and transparency features like generation of 2D

supports remote credit uploads or refills without manual intervention.
The Pitney Bowes MegaTM series comes in 3 models -

(RMFS) server and the equipment associated with it.
"With the launch of High-speed digital franking
machines, Pitney Bowes now offers a full spectrum of the latest digital
franking technology to cater to the needs of mid-size offices as well as
the mass mailing segment. The online refill feature is a valued benefit
to commercial mailers as it provides uninterrupted mail franking
service and saves time," says K.M. Nanaiah, Managing Director of
Pitney Bowes India.
The innovative MegaTM series allows users to frank
up to Rs. 9999.99 and has added security like 6-digit, alphanumeric
password for machine locking and funds downloading. These new features
meet customers' needs, save time and provide convenience. With such
flexibility and efficiency, MegaTM is expected to play a strategic role
in the mailrooms of banks, telcos, corporate and government offices.
The new MegaTM series comes with an optional add-on
weighing platform. This feature caters to businesses with heavy mail
items, such as e-commerce merchants.
