Wireless broadband connectivity for gas stations

SUMMARY

Despite growing awareness regarding global warming and the greenhouse effect, gasoline and diesel remain the most common fuels today. Besides, the times when gas stations had only one purpose of supplying gasoline been long gone. Nowadays, they are multifunctional zones that often include convenience stores, cafes, resting areas, restrooms, and more. The number of gas stations is still growing in a lot of places around the world: some are in the cities and some - in remote areas. This variety comes with a set of connectivity challenges.

CHALLENGE

When it comes to gas stations, the connectivity challenges are many. To begin with, they usually belong to a chain, so the connectivity model needs to be universal to fit various locations and environments. Besides, the support of such chains is usually centralized. Hence having a unified connectivity solution eases up the support procedures and reduces the resources required for IT support. Also, it makes the time to set up a new station much shorter, simpler, and more cost-efficient.
