High-bandwidth 5G connectivity is a plug-and-play solution
for retail and restaurant applications
ATLANTA, May 16, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- KORE, the global pure-play Internet of Things
("IoT") hyperscaler, and provider of IoT Connectivity, Solutions
and Analytics, has announced the launch of its new vertical
offering in retail solutions. The retail industry is rapidly
undergoing a digital transformation, and KORE has aligned its
portfolio to offer high-bandwidth solutions to meet these
needs.
The KORE Retail solution includes high bandwidth 5G cellular
connectivity through fixed wireless access (FWA) to provide
high-speed internet access traditionally available through wireline
solutions. As many new retail applications rely on higher data
volume and speed, a 5G network can offer greater bandwidth to
support these new and evolving applications.
"Digital transformation is rapidly picking up steam across
retail and restaurant chains, and we are seeing some interesting
applications within this segment," KORE President and CEO
Romil Bahl said. "Moving entirely to
cellular connectivity or leveraging cellular as a failover
technology is not easy. KORE has worked hard to make it simple to
adopt through our fixed wireless access solutions."
Retailers and restaurants, in particular, are seeing the
benefits of adding 5G solutions on-site, because this
high-bandwidth connectivity supports the segment's growing digital
needs beyond point-of-sales devices, including connected tablets,
digital ordering, third-party integrations with delivery services,
video analytics and many other connected technologies to streamline
operations and eliminate the wired/wireless divide. Adding
best-in-class 5G technology and connectivity, however, can be
challenging, especially when addressing the different carrier needs
in locations across the country.
With this new pre-configured solution, KORE is providing high
bandwidth digital transformation enablement to a national
restaurant chain. KORE is leveraging Cradlepoint Netcloud with 5G
wireless edge solutions as this restaurant chain moves to modernize
its connectivity by leveraging 5G cellular across its hundreds of
U.S. locations.
Without utilizing KORE as a connectivity provider, this
restaurant chain would have had to individually source cellular
connectivity based on location. KORE is able to provide a singular
approach to multi-carrier connectivity and also provide this
customer with a connectivity management platform to control and
monitor its usage and billing in a unified approach. KORE is also
providing onboarding via its customer success department and 24/7
support throughout the implementation of the solution, making the
deployment simple, seamless and decreasing time to market.
KORE will present a live webinar on IoT Tech and Trends on
June 7, 2023, which will explain in
greater detail the benefit and use cases behind 5G high-bandwidth
and fixed wireless access. This webinar will feature industry
experts who have seen success in the IoT and FWA market and will
discuss the most current and pertinent trends in the cellular fixed
wireless access market. Register here for this event.
