Retail branches are increasingly looking to cellular connectivity as either a primary connectivity solution or as a failover function for when the primary fixed-line connection fails. With the increasing speed, reliability, and availability of cellular connectivity, it is more viable for retail organisations to rely exclusively on wireless connections – especially where fixed-line alternatives are unavailable. Remote or out of town retail locations may lack fixed-line options, and pop-up or kiosk based retailers may prefer the flexibility and rapid implementation that comes with wireless connectivity.

Where primary connectivity is lost, businesses may be unable to process transactions and take payments unless they have a failover solution in place. In this business-critical role, cellular solutions have often been in place as the backup for fixed-line connections, but increasingly, wireless solutions with multiple levels of redundancy are often considered as alternatives.

Whether as a primary connectivity or failover solution, selecting the correct antenna for the application will ensure that the connection is as robust and reliable as possible. Panorama’s extensive range of tried and tested antenna solutions covers all of these applications and more, with multiple possible options for each use case.
