TAB Austria has worked for years on the systematic expansion of terminals, which are maintained and updated online via the internet.

The most important instrument for TAB is the continuous development of its software OTM (Online Terminal Management), which not only saves a great deal of time but also travel costs for the operators.

Various enhancement stages of OTM and OVP (Online Version Plus) guarantee new exclusive games, online tournaments and also regular software updates of the SILVERBALL and MAX FIRE versions.

Since 2002, TAB Austria has invested in this technology in order to gain new customers, develop new markets and above all to set new trends. Thus regular version and game updates can be loaded to all SILVERBALL touch screen terminals and MAX FIRE jukeboxes easily and comfortably, directly from Ansfelden. Also quite simply with the touch of a finger the latest songs and videos can be downloaded directly on the digital video jukebox MAX FIRE.

After an intensive test phase, since the start of April 2008, just under 300 High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) modems have been installed throughout Europe in TAB terminals. This transmission procedure, also known as 3G+, guarantees a quick data transmission of large amounts of data with very short latency periods (reaction time - time period between an action and the beginning of a reaction)

.Another benefit is that there are no expensive roaming fees for the operators.

Mobile online networking allows new technical possibilities and at the same time shows an enormous market potential for the future of the amusement business.

Not only through the trend towards online networking, but also through the signing of international contracts with major music labels, the novel download feature "MUSIC TO GO" was developed for MAX FIRE jukeboxes.

It allows a direct data transfer of music files and music videos to external data carriers like the MP3 player, USB keychains and even mobile telephones. Via Bluetooth or USB interface, now quickly the newest songs and videos can simply be downloaded at the touch of a finger for mobile use.

This new development and further product novelties will follow. This autumn, the new features and novel game concepts will be introduced to the world market.
