Retail stores rely on fast and stable internet connections for sales processing, inventory management and employee communications. In the event of service interruption to a store’s traditional network (T1, Cable, DSL, etc.) a number of issues can arise including: lost sales, failed PCI-DSS compliance, slower customer transactions, customer frustration, employee frustration and even a negative brand impact.
Retail locations can benefit from using wireless cellular networks as either their primary connectivity option or as a wireless cellular failover system (i.e. provide emergency backup connectivity) from their traditional network to guarantee uninterrupted Internet access for all their locations.
Typical retail locations will have a need for:
- Timely credit card processing / POS operation;
- Inventory control;
- Product Promotions;
- Employee email or communication access;
- PCI-DSS compliance; and
- Time management.
Providing wireless cellular connectivity as either a primary connection or as a failover connection for retail stores must therefore be:
Simple to deploy:
- To avoid costly installation setup;
- With auto-call home / automatic provisioning from HQ; and
- Averting truck rolls/repairs where possible;
- Scalable for hundreds or even thousands of stores;
- Secure;
- High Performance (4G LTE / or 3G as needed):
- Allowing for site survey and ideal placement;
- Making good connections great;
- With flexible power options including POE if needed.
- Affordable;
- Predictable;
- Flexible (automatically works with most carriers);
- Centrally managed, monitored and remote controlled; and finally:
- Have a small footprint and attractive design.
As a primary cellular internet connection, using Accelerated Concepts 6300-CX simplifies setup requirements such as removing the need to setup DSL, Cable or T1 connections. The 6300-CX provides a stable connection at a low predictable cost with minimal setup.
In addition, the 6300-CX has the ability to setup primary peer-to-peer VPN connections between store locations and HQ as needed.
As a cellular failover solution, the 6300-CX provides peace of mind through emergency failover connectivity should the primary (T1, Cable, DSL) connection go down.
Do you need cellular connectivity:
- As a primary connection?
- As a failover backup connection?
Do your retail stores have?
- Diverse locations?
- Narrow profit margins where a predictable, reliable and cost effective solution is required for internet connectivity?
- Legacy phone lines or internet connection equipment (with higher cost and complexity)?
The Accelerated 6300-CX is available June 1, 2015.
