CR Systems Introduces Intelligent Transaction Routers

CR SYSTEMS is introducing a family of Intelligent Transaction Routers (IT ROUTERS). The ITRouters integrate different types of communication products into a single cohesive network. ITRouters provide a truly open system environment by routing many kinds of data through public and private networks - and through dedicated communications circuits as well.
