IntelligentGateways+Routers

Retail + POS

Now, more than ever, it’s extremely important to enable customers to perform non-cash transactions from anywhere and at anytime. Consumers expect to use credit and debit cards for nearly any purchase. Seasonal, temporary and remote locations can vastly increase revenue by allowing non-cash transactions. Using AirLink intelligent gateways and routers provides the following benefits:

• Rapidly deployable POS solutions for quick time to revenue

• Secure data link and device security for a PCI compliant solution

• Reliable, always-on connection to ensure revenue generation

Digital Signage

Potential customers are everywhere. Getting your message to them is exceedingly important to the success of your business. The reliable, broadband connection provided by an AirLink gateway tears down the limitations presented by wireline connections.

By integrating a cellular connection to digital signs with an AirLink device you can:

• Quickly deploy a digital sign to any location, including temporary events like concerts, fairs, flea markets, etc.

• Change and download content to a fleet of signs from any location

• Deploy signs in any elements, due to the rugged design of the AirLink gateway

Business Continuity

In today’s economy, you can’t afford failure of your primary data connection. With Sierra Wireless, you can use a wireless back-up to ensure that your business stays on-line, even when land lines fail. Benefits of integrating an AirLink gateway with your existing router, or deploying an AirLink commercial grade router include:

• Near 100% uptime with seamless failover from primary to back-up connection

• Rapid deployment for meeting grand opening dates without reliance on land line provider

• Portability for easy re-deployment of equipment to a new location (e.g. construction trailers)

ATM

Secure, reliable connectivity to ATM terminals is vitally important to promote the growth of banks and to ensure their

customers have access to cash in multiple locations. Utilizing an easily deployable AirLink gateway or router facilitates installation of ATMs in new locations, as well enabling rapid deployment and breakdown of temporary machines. Leveraging an intelligent AirLink device for ATM applications provides many benefits:

• Secure connection with IPsec compliant VPN to enable a PCI compliant solution

• Ethernet or Serial connectivity to support new and legacy equipment

• Rapidly deployable connection to remote and temporary ATMs

Kiosks + Vending

When installing new kiosks or vending machines one of the most costly and time consuming tasks is running land lines to the machine. This issue is exasperated when installing in an airport, or a mall where coordinating with management and unions prolongs the installation for weeks and even months. Using an AirLink 3G gateway or router facilitates a quick installation, and simplifies the process of moving the kiosk to a new location. Some of the benefits of a cellular deployment are:

• Rapid installation and relocation• Real-time inventory management• Remote management of the

cellular device • Secure, reliable transactions
