Re: mobile POS system

Mark -
If you are not already doing PCI, you are significantly better off not
doing it yourself.

That being said, wireless and PCI do not really mix.  However, you might
consider using an IPSec tunnel configured specifically for only the PCI
mobile connection.  The Cisco VPN would work here.  Once you get to your
wired network you still have to address all other PCI requirements.  And
you should convince yourself that the IPSec solution will meet PCI
requirements.
