Benefits of Cellular Routers for Micro Market Kiosks

Micro Market Kiosks have become an integral part of our lives over the last 10 years. The reality is that they become inoperable if they are not connected to the internet.  

This is why it’s vital that they have a reliable internet connection but, in some areas, reliable internet isn’t always available. Thankfully, a DPL wireless cellular router solves the problem of unreliable internet because these devices can be directly connected to cellular networks, eliminating the problem of poor connectivity, and ensuring that a kiosk will be connected to the internet, even in remote locations. 

Are Cellular Routers Secure? 

With the demand for kiosks to be connected 24-7, having secure connections is also important because criminals don’t sleep and are always on the lookout for ways to hack, crack, and steel data. 

With a cellular router, the connection is always secure and encrypted. This means that the data that’s transmitted from kiosks, including credit card numbers and other sensitive information is also protected as well. 

More secure than public Wi-Fi networks, cellular routers are also ideal for kiosks because in many venues, some business owners won’t allow kiosks to be connected to their local area network. This is why a cellular network is essential and a reliable connection for the kiosk that’s going to be connected to the internet 24-7. 

What To Look For In A Cellular Router 

Before choosing just any cellular router for a kiosk, business owners should consider a variety of factors first including if the router will be PCI compliant, is easy to set up, and most importantly that their data plan will support the kiosks internet usage. 

It’s also important to determine if the cellular router is managed by an IoT provider because, an IoT provider can provide fast trouble shooting and offer customer service when needed.
