LTE/5G Connectivity for Retail
Today's retail environments are more connected than ever with network access essential to run a wide range of Point-of-Sale (POS) Inventory-, customer and business applications. And the number of devices is growing, from laptops and tablets to digital signage and IP-based CCTV, making always on-connectivity essential.
However, retail outlets are difficult and expensive to connect with traditional wired lines. Firstly, many retail locations are not stand-alone addresses, but store-in-store setups, where indoor wiring usually adds cost, delay and range of approvals from building management. Secondly, retail is dynamic, with locations, setups and concepts changing fast and even extending to outdoor locations, kiosks and events, all not ideal for Telco's to deliver wired lines.
Blue Wireless 5G/LTE solutions offer flexible, low-cost and reliable connectivity for retail without the waiting time and hassles of wires. Retail locations are usually well covered with high-speed networks by mobile operators, with multiple networks and indoor access points available. This provides a good basis to utilize 5G/LTE for a range of scenarios, including as a primary, temporary or backup connection.
Blue Wireless offers a range of retail-specific solutions, which combine suitable equipment, mobile data plans, field service and management, making connectivity a breeze for any outlet. Our service includes next-day delivery and month-on-month plans, so your site is connected when and where you need it.
