Empowering ATM connectivity

SUMMARY

The worldwide anticipation of cashless society might suggest an idea that Automated Teller Machines or ATMs is the thing of the past. However, statistics provided by The World Bank indicate that the number of active ATM machines around the world have grown by more than 126% in the last five years considering the number of ATMs per 100 000 adults of global population.

CHALLENGE

Nowadays, more and more people gain access to banking services and electronic payments around the world. ATMs are being deployed in new and remote areas, moreover, legacy equipment is being updated with state-of-the art cash machines. These ATMs are usually placed in shopping malls, gas stations, convenience stores. However, not all countries or locations have sufficient and reliable wired Internet access options such as DSL or fiber. Considering that VSAT communication is still highly expensive, this poses a challenge for ATM connectivity to be secure, affordable and reliable.

SOLUTION

Technology integrators around the globe have already learned valuable lessons of relying on a single wired connection for ATM deployment. Even a few minutes of connection downtime can cost more than adding an additional layer of connectivity. Nowadays majority of ATMs are using industrial cellular routers with 4G LTE connectivity as a main or a backup source of connectivity between ATM and central system of the bank. Such routers must be highly secure, reliable and be able to establish VPN connections with advanced firewall functionality as well as support for multiple remote management protocols.
