Challenges

Ventus Networks operates an extensive fault tolerant redundant network, capable of transmitting and switching legacy and current communication protocols. They identified a need to develop solutions for their clients to operate ATMs and kiosks in diverse commercial retail locations, seasonal venues, and temporary events. Client challenges included mobility, flexibility, scalability, and security.

Solution

Ventus Networks responded to the demand for easier and faster installations by developing a secure wireless CDMA/GPRS/HSDPA data network, specifically designed to transport sensitive financial, confidential, and security-oriented data. These services are complemented by their 3G wireless routers, rich with features including protocol conversion, firewalls, and battery back-up, small footprint, and encryption

In addition, Ventus Networks selected the Sierra Wireless 3G CDMA and HSDPA embedded modules for their superior quality and reliability and collaborated with the Sierra Wireless professional services team for integration assistance and time-to-market support. 

Ventus’ VFN 2000 series routers, equipped with the Sierra Wireless embedded 3G module, enhances the reliability and convenience of Ventus’ financial transaction routing solutions by providing data functionality, GPS tracking, and secure network connections.  The cellular solution is ideal for venues where mobility and on-demand type solutions are preferred (e.g., stadiums, tradeshows, and outdoor events).

Some of the combined benefits of Sierra Wireless’ 3G modules and the Ventus VFN routers are:
• Greater ROI resulting from reduced operational costs
• Completely managed and monitored services with contracted service level agreements
• Remote access to Ventus’ robust, custom written Network Monitoring System using 3G wireless technology
• Multiple carrier accessibility through a single provider
