Payments That Don’t Pause

Card terminals and PoS systems need deterministic network paths. Our routers provide primary cellular or fixed-line backup with policy-based failover, dual-SIM for carrier diversity, and QoS to prioritize transaction traffic so authorizations complete even when a circuit drops.

RCMS Cloud Management

Roll out sites with Zero-Touch provisioning, enforce templates for WAN, VLANs, and Wi-Fi, and push firmware/config updates in controlled rings. RCMS shows online status, signal, and data use by store/region and keeps a full activity history so you can answer “what changed, where, and when.”

Secure Remote Access

Give help desks, MSPs, and field engineers least-privilege, time-boxed access via RobustVPN scoped to specific devices or services. Keep guest Wi-Fi, digital signage, and back-office systems segmented with VLANs and firewall rules, and maintain auditability for internal reviews.

Multi-System Ready

Branches, franchises, kiosks, ATMs, vending, lockers, and digital signage often share one cabinet. Our platforms support Ethernet, Wi-Fi, serial, and digital I/O in the same footprint so you connect terminals, media players, and controllers without extra boxes.

Use this as your quick map from requirement to control. We’ll supply detail and templates during scoping.

  • Uptime and checkout speed
    Busy periods punish weak links. We prioritize transaction flows with QoS, fail over automatically to cellular, and surface signal/data issues in RCMS so stores keep trading and IT acts before queues build.
  • Rapid rollouts and pop-ups
    New stores, seasonal kiosks, and events need pre-built kits. With Zero-Touch and templates, staff power on, the router checks in, and the correct config applies—no on-site engineer required.
  • Scope control for audits
    Payment paths must be isolated. We implement VLAN separation and strict firewall rules, keep services off by default, and provide activity logs in RCMS so you can demonstrate who accessed what and when. (Use your internal PCI program to define policy; we align networking and ops to it.)
  • Cost predictability
    Cellular overage hurts margins. RCMS tracks data by site/group, sets alerts and caps, and schedules heavy updates for off-peak windows—so budgets stay intact while screens stay up to date.
  • Mixed vendors and long lifecycles
    Retail estates combine new and legacy devices. Our routers support common interfaces and give a consistent operating model across brands—reducing spares and simplifying support.

How the Pieces Fit Together:

  • On site: 4G/LTE or 5G router with dual-SIM; Ethernet/Wi-Fi to PoS, payment terminals, back-office PCs, printers, cameras, kiosks, or media players.
  • Segmentation: VLANs/firewall isolate payment, corporate, guest Wi-Fi, and OT/kiosk networks; optional separate SSIDs for staff/guest.
  • Backhaul: Fixed-line or fiber primary with cellular failover—or cellular first where lines are impractical.
  • Operations: RCMS for monitoring, alerts, templates, Zero-Touch, and ringed updates; RobustVPN for scoped remote access with full logging.

Every operation is different, but the patterns are familiar. With millions of Robustel devices in 100+ countries, there’s a good chance we have solved challenges like yours. The examples below show how our products improve reliability, security, and cost control. If your exact scenario is not listed, talk to an expert and we will tailor a plan.
