Challenge
|
| IP based ATMs deliver all the benefits of the internet, including faster transactions, enhanced reliability and lower costs. An inherent limitation of the IP ATM is a lack of mobility. Many seasonal outdoor events and tradeshows are remote from LAN lines. Connecting ATMs to wireless networks is the ideal solution. However, many existing ethernet-based ATMs do not support wireless connectivity. |
Solution
|
| The iPocketUSB is a wireless adapter that is partnered with a wireless USB stick from any major wireless carrier, offering mobility to automatic teller machines (ATMs). |
| Carrier-neutral, this unique approach to wireless ATM mobility puts you in the driver's seat when it comes to choosing the lowest cost plan. Simply choose the lowest cost packet data plan from any wireless carrier and get a wireless modem. Beyond the cost advantage, this model presents several opportunities for those managing remote ATMs. |
 |
| As wireless internet technology evolves, users of the iPocketUSB can take advantage, by simply exchanging the USB stick for an HSPA, EVDO or LTE version. In addition, with the device accessible via a wireless network, ATM operators and their support providers can cost effectively accessing the ATM for monitoring or management. By clicking on a button through an encrypted SMS message, the iPocketUSB will activate a VPN tunnel to the ATM operator, allowing remote management of the site. This capability simplifies many common functions, such as turning power on/off and activating features remotely. |
| This feature is available to iPocketUSB users for a fraction of the cost charged by wireless carriers. Finally, a repository of data on your devices can now be accessed via NetVu. Data available includes signal strength status, allowing you to take corrective measures if necessary. Alerts can also be configured to warn of low signal strength. |
| The size of a credit card, the iPocketUSB features two connectors: USB and ethernet. By connecting a wireless USB stick to the iPocketUSB's USB port, the adapter can connect to the ethernet interface of the ATM, creating a wireless modem. |
