Revel Systems, an iPad point-of-sale company backed by $3.7 million in funding, is today introducing a new hardware product designed to take the place of an Ethernet router. The "Revel Router," as the device is being called, is an Apple-certified "made for iPad" technology that allows shops to run their POS through an Apple iPad. The router connects other components in a retailer or restaurant's POS setup, too, including coin dispensers, barcode scanners, scales, kitchen display systems, kitchen printers, receipt printers, and more.

More importantly, the system forgoes the need for an ISP-provided Internet connection in order to work - the whole thing can run off the iPad's 3G or 4G.
