Companies that operate retail networks need convenient ways to carry data between their shops and the headquarter. POS terminals and credit card readers need to have a secure connection to the HQ.

 

 Security is essential in this case of deployment because sensitive financial data, such as customers credit card information and commercial information, is sent over the network and can be intercepted.

 

To address this security need, retailers used to build their networks based on leased lines, the basic form of a private network. Nowadays, leased lines are more expensive and require more time to install than other types of VPNs.

 

Topex Bytton guarantees a fast deployment of data networks for retailers. Services can be available as soon as a SIM card is inserted into the router. There is no need to wait weeks or months for a fixed line operator to install fixed lines to all of the shops that need to be connected. Wireless WAN services are cheaper and they can be up-and-running much faster then the fixed ones.

 

Security is provided by the use of industry-wide standars such as IPSec. IPSec is the most used method of creating VPNs over public networks, such as the Internet.

 

High-availability can be achieved by the use of our dual-SIM router. In the case one of the selected operators encounters a problem in its network, our router detects the lack of connectivity and automatically switches to the other SIM, providing an always-on connection.

 

Topex Bytton can be used for the fast delivery of a secure and highly available connection method for retail networks.
