Overview
Every lane, booth and service area on one payment estate.
Synergy equips highway concessionaires with PAX terminals for every point of payment on the road: staffed toll booths, automated lanes, service stations and EV charging corridors. Attended A920 Pro and A77 terminals handle booths and roadside assistance; IM30 and IM25 units take contactless payments at barriers and pumps, all routed through one omnichannel acquiring engine.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How are open-loop EMV payments accepted on highway toll lanes?
An IM30 on each barrier pillar shows the tariff for the vehicle class, the driver taps a contactless card, phone or watch, and the lane controller opens the barrier once the certified acquirer approves the payment.
Which PAX terminals suit staffed toll booths?
The A920 Pro prints receipts in the booth and handles manual barrier overrides; the 270-gram A77 with 4G suits roadside assistance patrols.
Do the terminals work outdoors?
Yes. The IM30 is rated IP65 / IK08 and operates from −20 to 70 °C; the IM25 is rated IP65 + IK09.
