3G/4G Mobile Broadband Networks for Convenience Stores

Ensuring all systems are go.

How reliable connectivity supports around-the-clock operations.

From the gas pumps to the cash register, convenience stores need Internet connectivity to run systems optimally, accept payments reliably and operate securely – usually around the clock. They rely on wired connections, whether high-availability T1 lines or less-costly DSL and cable service, to keep all systems up and running 24/7.

Challenge: Doing it all, with minimal resources

• Need for non-stop network availability – Whether in the store or at the gas pump, convenience store customers expect a smooth, simple transaction; if they don’t get it, they’ll go to a competitor.
• Lack of on-site technical help – With just one or two non-technical cashiers on hand at any given time, convenience stores don’t have the time or resources to address connectivity problems.
• Security concerns – To ensure the safety of clerks working at all hours, convenience stores need to be able to transmit alarm and event data to security providers reliably and in real time.
• Cost/benefit issues – Convenience stores need high network availability, but with so many locations, the most reliable (and most costly) wired connections may not be the best financial choice.
