4G failover/back-up solutions for retail

Making sure you’re open for business at all times – even if you lose fixed line connectivity

Business continuity within today’s challenging retail markets is simply mission-critical. If any connected application fails within a retail environment, disgruntled customers, reduction in sales and loss of online visibility can all contribute to a retailer in trouble. Supporting ADSL/Broadband/fixed line connectivity with appropriate failover technology is therefore key to negate possible outages. The focus for retailers is on immediate two-way connectivity to ensure customers can pay, connect via Wi-Fi, enjoy interactive digital displays or know that the store is connected to replenish stock. times, without delay. So for back-up/failover to fixed line connectivity, rapid deployment where fixed line is delayed, or due to remote location or OOBM, a 4G cellular option is vital.

With 4G comes a world of flexibility – rapid deployment, high-availability, and the ‘connect anywhere’ advantage with or without ADSL capabilities.

Wireless Logic’s 4G failover connectivity options give users the broadest choice of secure IoT tariffs combined with fit-for-purpose routers featuring ethernet ports to ensure resilient data transfer. Whether working directly with retailers or with systems integrators/solution providers, we can jointly develop connectivity only, or connectivity and hardware packages to make sure your stores are online, at all times.

Our router solutions enable failover solutions along with capabilities for live connection and rebooting of associated hardware. Stores can take full advantage of compact, under the counter router solutions alongside more traditional ‘in cabinet’ located routers with all associated antennae and cabling, Wireless Logic’s range of routers are further enhanced by the router’s own management platform which can cap data usage to ensure costs do not spiral through misuse or machine error. With multiple ports, single, dual SIM or multi-SIM variants and three-year warranty on a number of models, routers can consolidate 4G failover with a range of in-store connected applications through the benefit of multiple ethernet ports and Wi-Fi capabilities.
